Today, focus on: GOP.
Definition: Short for “Grand Old Party” – the official name of the modern Republican Party, corresponding to the right wing of American politics.
Unbiased opinions:
Lefty says: “The GOP supports the death penalty, guns, walls, tax cuts for the rich, and is flirting with facism at this point. It’s upsetting.“
Righty says: “The GOP has always been represented by true American patriots, from Abraham Lincoln to Jesus Christ.”
About our (fictive) correspondents:
Arthur ‘Lefty’ Treehugger, Founder, Ponchos Illustrated. Born and raised on a pumpkin collective in rural Vermont, Arthur Treehugger grew up in the warm glow of free love, improvised guitar circles and herbal remedies. Arthur’s true passion is Ponchos, and his self-published e-magazine magazine is the number two poncho and raincoat magazine in the US, with a daily circulation of nearly 300.
Politically, Arthur is the definition of liberal; a true ‘bleeding heart’. Arthur is left-handed, left-brained and only turns left at stop signs.
Walton ‘Righty’ Carmichael Jr, Editor, Death & Taxes Quarterly. Deep in the heart of Georgia, land of peaches and voter suppression, the Carmichael Family has raised 7 seven generations of true American Patriots, culminating with Walton Jr. He abides by the guiding principles of family, fishing, freedom and God. His self-published e-magazine, “Death and Taxes” presents a libertarian view on today’s world.
A libertarian-leaning conservative, Walton identifies with the right wing of today’s GOP and would very much like to make and/or keep America great.
