OK, time for a light hearted thread! Let's play...."What can Republicans not claim anymore?"

I'll go first with a few ideas:

Family values...seriously-- gave that one up with a thrice married man who paid off a porn star!

Boot Straps! "Where's my stimulus check??"

Religion -- what denomination is the orange clown anyway? Has anyone actually ever seen him in a regular church service?

That they give a shit about anybody but themselves and their fucking pocketbook.

They have NEVER had my heart, mind, body, or soul, and they never will.
