Word Association Game: What's the 1st word you think of when you hear the word, 'republican'?

[AnArmyVeteran]

Don't think about your answer for more than a second. What's the first word to come to your mind when you hear the word 'republican'? There are exceptions to my general requirement. If you think of a long string of expletives then list them as your answer.

The 1st word to come to my mind when I think or hear the word 'republican' is 'evil'. What's yours?
