Hell, skip the whole thing and just say ‘Republicans’. Encompasses the entirety of the party and completely cuts off the ability to “take back” whatever word they choose to use.
Its a losing game for them. They cant use anything too insulting at risk of looking petty, small, and alienating their own members who wouldnt take kindly to seeing their friends and family called morons, even if they disagree politically.
So literally the only thing they can do is use words they can put the barest amount of stank on, like ‘deplorable’ or ‘ultra-maga’, and thats practically doing your opponents PR for them since theyll just take the label and make it their own.
