Catching up w FR

Posted on 06/24/2015 2:12:30 AM PDT by SunLakesJeff

Back on FR, as well as lurking NewsMax, WND, etc.

Just what does "GOPe" entail? Obviously a pejorative acronym, with which I would agree...

Gotta keep up!

Thank you. That is comprehensible for “acronymics” - I was lost on blogs/message boards/etc. Very much appreciated.

Curious if there is a place where someone actually defined the “e” some years ago. I had long taken it as meaning something like “lite”. Effete? Effeminate (though it does not apply to Sarah Palin)?

I always used it to mean establishment, but the other two work as well.

Me too, "establishment." The term "eastern establishment" (a synonym for Rockefeller Republicans) applied to American politics, goes back at least half a century. Exactly the same problem then, as now. Exactly. Only the players change.

establishment, effete, effeminate, emasculated, emotionless, entrails, entrenched........

Last, but not least, EULOGY — because that’s what they are - the death of the GOP that once was.

GOPe stands for anyone who disagrees with your own personal ideology.

"GOPe stands for anyone who disagrees with your own personal ideology."

You nailed it, but I would add: a vile, hated group, who are far worse than any Democrat, so it's better to not vote for anything they support, and let the Democrats win.

GOPe is a nicer way to say Rino; or is it the other way around, either way they are the supporters of the current one party establishment elitists, they are what you might call a more passionate kinder gentler communist.

The main philosophy of the GOPe/Rino/Communist/Facist/Marxist/Stalinist big tent(room for everybody) party is “don’t fight... unite”, “if you can’t beat em join em”!

Thanks, very much. “Elite” and “Effeminate” are semantic front-runners, but the acronym is obviously much larger than just those.
