I might derail the thread her but that is OK. Has anyone else noticed the efforts by many on the left, whether indivuduals, political pundits, or even left-wing "news" show hosts to paint the Republican party as the "Trump party?" I think they've figured out that if almost anyone besides Donald Trump, who had been castigated for four years on every cable news channel, had to deal with an incredibly deadly pandemic and effectively shut the country down, (this besides the fact that he's an idiot and could keep from Tweeting stupid stuff...some of it true, but stupid for a politician to Tweet out) had run against Biden in the last election, Biden would have lost. So I believe they have decided that connecting conservative republicans to Trump is a winning way for them. Just an observation from the title of the thread.
