Test New page == '''Overview''' == The Republican Party of the United States is a [[Politics|political]] and [[Terrorism|terrorist]] organization, dedicated to promoting [[Far-right politics|far-right ideologies]], [[hate speech]], and [[pedophilia]]. It is currently in power with a [[Government trifecta|trifecta]], whereby prominent party leaders (including [[Donald Trump]], [[JD Vance|J.D. Vance]], and [[Mike Johnson]]) have been able to subvert the [[rule of law]] to push [[Prejudice|bigoted]] beliefs. It is notable for its explicit [[racism]], [[homophobia]], [[transphobia]], [[sexism]], [[misogyny]], and [[xenophobia]]. It also is the [[political party]] with the greatest number of presidents convicted of crimes. ''See also:'' [[Motherfucker|Fucking Motherfuckers]], [[Donald Trump|Who the hell thought an orange clown could run a country?]], and [[Jeffrey Epstein|Quit calling Trump a pervert, when he's so goddamned beyond that!]] == '''History''' == Really simple: Before about [[1900]], the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]] was the good one, or at least the better one. [[Abraham Lincoln]] was in it, and they were generally [[anti-slavery]], and at least partially [[Anti-racism|anti-racist]]. After about 1965, they were a bunch of fucking [[Motherfucker|motherfuckers]] who engaged in either [[racism]], [[homophobia]], or [[Perversion|perverted]] [[sex acts]] (if not all three). == '''Views''' == Life advice: if the [[Republicans]] support it, it will probably do one of the following:<blockquote>a) Land them in [[jail]] (assuming the world has some sense of [[fairness]]) b) Land them in a [[grave]] (because [[stupidity]]) c) Land them in the [[White House]] (because [[Idiot|idiots]] support [[Idiot|idiots]], [[Am I Right?|am I right]]?</blockquote>
