I've never heard the GoP called the "Daddy Party".
Who the fuck is calling them that?
Bill Maher, and the shitlibs agreeing with him that the Republicans used to be respectable.
It’s been about 120 years. Make the Republican Party great again!
To be fair, old school Republicans from 30-40 years ago would be losing their shit at how much the current party has been cozying up to Russia and the Saudi's which is where a very large chunk of the modern corruption comes from.
No they would not because it was always an act.
Yeah god damn assholes trying to find common ground should be burned at the stake.
Shitlibs shitting themselves in rage, again, oh no.
Is possible that you're too young.
I'm gen-x. Not sure if that still makes me too young or too old.
I never heard them called the daddy party exactly, however the concept is not new. Hell I remember there was an episode of The West Wing like 20 years ago where they talked about this. The mommy problem. It's a thing in politics that gets talked about. Democrats are the ones you go to when you want things like jobs and Healthcare whereas Republicans the ones you go to when you're scared. It certainly a strategy Republicans bank on, as we see it's basically the only thing they have right now. Lie to people tell them to be scared of immigrants and minorities and crime. That's the entirety of their campaign right now, there's not a lick of policy or anything else.
