Why the capitalization of Republican? If it is just the political theory then it should be lowercase... unless this is a GOP inspired assassination. Orangemanbad! Orangemanbad!
I am a language maven only, not any arbiter of correctness or propriety, FWIW.
I accepted the capitalization as title, or proper name for the movement that culminated in the French Revolution. Do you disagree? I cannot cite right now but I am sure I have seen that many times in English and French. Sure I have also seen it used more often as a simple adjective and not capitalized. Please correct me.
I think I understood the humor behind your comment, and confess to a little chuckle. Thanks
