As the GOP legislators paint themselves more and more into a corner of irrelevance, it is past time to mention one of their verbal tics that has been bothering me for quite some time. The locution at which I bridle is the persistent designation of the Democratic Party by the contemptuously crafted designation “Democrat Party.” That they have not been called on this before is shameful. It is time to give them a taste of their own medicine. Therefore, I call on all those who care about correctness and civility in political discourse to adopt the locution “Republic Party” for the GOP and to persist in that designation until the Republic legislators mend their linguistic ways.
