First, realize I didn't comment on "them", but rather suggested the term "anti-Trump Republicans" was an oxymoron
Nonetheless, to answer your question, in modern terms, of course, they are referred to as RINO's. That will do for public discussions although I think the label much too generous.
Since Trump (R) became President and de facto leader of the R party, "anti-Trump" describes an actor as one that publicly or otherwise works against Trump and his strategy (as opposed to tactics). Under what theory can they be regarded as R's?
Does their self-affixed label make it so?
Have a nice weekend.
I wasn’t being critical; I was curious about your reasoning.
I despise the “Republicans” that haven’t supported President Trump’s agenda. IMO Republicans transformed into Globalists with the Bushes.
I consider myself Conservative and limited Government/States rights politically but I don’t have party loyalty per se because Republicans have bastardized the brand. Despite that I have voted straight R ticket & have in every election for 40+ years because the alt is so much worse.
I’m hoping POTUS can transform the R party into a party like that but IDK. He is doing a great job against overwhelming odds and I’m very grateful for his patriotism, skills & sacrifices. With Rs like Paul Ryan, Sass, Flake, Collins and a host of others R doesn’t mean much to me.
Have a great evening as well.
