First of all, it’s the GOPe until we say so.

If somebody can ask the dumb question of how can you tell a
RINO, then I can ask:
What is a GOPe?
I believe it means “GOP elite/elitist”. Basically, a republican who views his/her constituents with disdain and derision, seeing them as brainless rubes who are good for nothing but campaign contributions, and deserving of neither respect or honesty.
I believe the “e” is for establishment but am uncertain of origin. Also called RINOs, deep state, elites, turncoats, assistant democrats, traitors, back-stabbing, lying, swamp things, crooks, thieves, scumbags, Marxists, republicrats, globalists, democrat lite, uniparty types and the list is endless...
GOP Establishment.
