It's really a simple matter.
Republican and Democrat party affiliations mean nothing. It hasn't meant anything in years.
There are three political movements trying to operate within a two-party system:
1. Globalists
2. Nationalists
3. Marxists
These globalist pr!cks were predominantly Republicans as long as the GOP was willing to push their agenda. They were perfectly comfortable with Democrats in office as long is it was some unprincipled misfit like Bill Clinton who would sell himself out for a nickel. The same goes for Hillary Clinton.
Now, they see the writing on the wall. The Nationalist movement is slowly getting stronger within the GOP ... so these Globalists are going to call themselves Democrats now.

"There are three political movements trying to operate within a two-party system: 1. Globalists 2. Nationalists 3. Marxists." Exactly! And Globalists & Marxists are both so diametrically opposed to Nationalists that they have and will very willing join together against their common enemy. Thus RINOs and today's radical Democrats unite as anti-Trumpers.

Hmmmm...we've seen this before...
LOYALISTS
Loyalists were American colonists who remained loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War, often called Tories, Royalists, or King's Men at the time. They were opposed by the Patriots who supported the revolution and called them "persons inimical to the liberties of America".[1] Prominent Loyalists repeatedly assured the British government that many thousands of them would spring to arms and fight for the crown. The British government acted in expectation of that, especially in the southern campaigns in 1780-81. In practice, the number of Loyalists in military service was far lower than expected. Patriots watched suspected Loyalists very closely and would not tolerate any organized Loyalist opposition.
Yale historian Leonard Woods Larabee has identified eight characteristics of the Loyalists that made them essentially conservative and loyal to the king and Britain:[6]
- They were older, better established, and resisted radical change
- They felt that rebellion against the Crownthe legitimate governmentwas morally wrong.
- They were alienated when the Patriots resorted to violence, such as burning houses and tarring and feathering.
- They wanted to take a middle-of-the road position and were angry when forced by the Patriots to declare their opposition.
- They had a long-standing sentimental attachment to Britain (often with business and family links).
- They realized that independence was bound to come someday, but wanted to postpone the moment.
- They were cautious and afraid that chaos and mob rule would result.
- Some were pessimists who lacked the confidence in the future displayed by the Patriots. Others recalled the dreadful experiences of many Jacobite rebels after the failure of the last Jacobite rebellion as recently as 1745 who often lost their lands when the Hanoverian government won.[7][8][9]
Other motives of the Loyalists included:
- They felt a need for order and believed that Parliament was the legitimate authority.[10]
- In New York, powerful families had assembled colony-wide coalitions of supporters, Men long associated with the De Lancey faction went along when its leadership decided to support the crown.[11]
- They felt themselves to be weak or threatened within American society and in need of an outside defender such as the British Crown and Parliament.[12]
- They had been promised freedom from slavery by the British.[13][14][15]
- They felt that being a part of the British Empire was crucial in terms of commerce and their business operations.[16][17][18]
Historians have estimated that between 15 and 20 percent of the two million whites in the colonies in 1775 were Loyalists. I originally thought it was the Dems who were loyalists...maybe it's this lot after all, even though they're both losers.

Nailed it!
The Republicans have drifted towards toxic Globalism and in doing so, the Republicans have bizarrely and ironically found common ground and allied with another long time Globalist movement - International Marxism
