Banana Republicans are those to whom the Right is not Right enough; modern-era conservatives dedicated to eliminating democracy and rejecting the justice system including judges, juries and the official apparatus of investigative agencies, punitive measures, and oversight concerning Rightwing politicians.
Those damned Banana Republicans have taken over the Supreme Court and brought the legislative branch to a grinding halt.

Get the Democrats are far left and Republicans are far rightmug. The kind of guy who votes Republican solely because he doesn't want to pay for the other party's new tax hike or other such social expense. Usually a high-income earner who lives in a coastal city and will go to great lengths to not reveal his vote to his more liberal friends. Sometimes he'll even build a superficial pro-this or that persona just to fit in with whatever his friends claim to support, some of whom may be just "fitting in" themselves.
"There's no way a guy with a house and a job like that would support the new tax bill, he's probably just a closeted Republican."
"I don't know about you but that little speech of his sounded so forced and generic, like something a closet Republican would say just to impress people..."

Get the Panera Bread Republicanmug. 1. An argument that starts somewhat constructive but devolves into a
dramatic display of emotional bravado.
2. An argument where no real practical difference is available at the ideological level,
so the crux of the "debate" lies solely on
how much or how little said agreed ideal needs to be applied as the percieved "disagreement".
3. An argument where there isn't any real constructive debate happening,
but rather a battle of egos, pride, and vanity.
4. An argument where attacking your opponent's character, past, family,
or friends as well as name calling or claims of not caring
take precedence over a practical view of the real issues at hand.
5. A euphemism for ranting about, disliking, or even hating something
whilst simultaneously lacking any constructive criticism.

road trip so I knew I wasn't going to be able to sleep on the way."
"We tried talking to address our relationship problems but it just ended up
escalating into a Republican Debate every time"
"The irony was that they agreed overall but would get heated about
the particulars quite like a Republican Debate."
"He said he loved the USA more than me. I disagreed and told him I loved the USA more than him.
It was a good ol' Republican Debate."
"I argued the subtle beauty of IPAs while she preferred dark stouts
and this seemingly simple mutual love of beer yet disagreement about flavors
could quickly turn into a heated Republican Debate".
"I tried to be rational about my disapproval of her boyfriend's behavior but
ended up escalating into a Republican Debate over it."
