Come now; that's an insult to Hufflepuffs:
"You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true,
And unafraid of toil"
—The Sorting Hat
That sure doesn't sound like a description of the Republican party. Loyal? Do you remember NY—23?
Just? Look at the acceptance they've shown for the GCA, NFA, the War on Drugs and "Commerce Clause" justifications of federal power.
Unafraid of toil? When was the last time they worked toward a stated party-plank? And to tie in with just, when was the last time they tried to illegalize Abortion and/or overturn Roe v. Wade?
I was thinking more like OOP.
Said Hufflepuff, “I’ll teach the lot,
And treat them just the same.”
Those neither hot not cold, not outstanding enough to rate any other House.
