Republicans for Voldemort

The original definition has a blatantly obvious bias (as will this one, most likely.) In the past, Republicans have voted against civil rights proposals and supported extreme interrogation tactics: voting against the Violence Against Women’s Act, voting against equal marriage rights, an administration that waterboarded suspects, etc. Nothing is black and white, and I understand it's unfair to select examples out of context. But the general civil rights injustices in the name of money and morality portray a type of political view that some may categorize as the modern-day equivalent of past evils. I agree that Voldemort’s regime is most akin to Hitler’s, but also to any view that dealt with “purity” of blood (aka racism) or any view that does not promote equality for all. People who find the slogan amusing are likely frustrated with actions that seem to promote some form of social injustice, and chuckle at an extreme analogy that does not pretend to be a thesis of political reasoning: it’s referring to Harry Potter, for goodness sake. It’s an analogy made to show distaste with a political view, much like the smear campaigns of the midterm elections. Politics rarely depicts “fair” representations of either party, which the original definition did nothing but perpetuate by comparing Democrats to Umbridge and her regime (which some may argue is just as bad as Voldemort, if not worse, as their selfish motivations impeded every progressive political maneuver in the name of “good".)

Damn man, I’m just so frustrated by some of the referenda that Republicans keep shooting down, sometimes I think that Republicans would have supported Voldemort. I’m gonna go get a Republicans for Voldemort bumper sticker.

Republic

Contrary to right-wing propaganda, a Republic is indeed a form of representative Democracy in which ordinary people elect officials to represent them in a legislature or parliament. Simply put, a Republic is the "what" and a Democracy is the "how." It's been that way since the Roman Republic was established in 509 B.C.

The notion that Democracy is a mob-rule involving direct citizen voting on every issue is a distortion spread by idiots like Tom Tancredo and radical ideologues like Pat Buchanan. They don't like the term "Democracy" because it reminds them of the Democratic party.

The opposite of a Republic is a Monarchy, not a Democracy.

"You know we have a Republic, not a Democracy, right?"

"You must be an intern at Fox News."

republican

The political party of the ignorant, degenerate, and irrational thinking class of Americans that believe in getting away with corporate fraud and reward for unethical and inconsiderate behavior.

"The Republicans are the party of sheep, where the Democrats aren't really much better."
