I love this terminology: green RINO v zombie Reagan! 😂

It's colorful, yes. Green RINO, perfect. But I would prefer a Reagan clone instead of a zombie. And while we are it, clone Margaret Thatcher, too. And Pope John Paul II. The Anti-Communist Avengers.

A clone would be better, but that's not what we have.

And I just HAD to work in the Onion video...

(P.S. I got more colorful Green RINO images in the earlier articles in this series. The AI wanted to turn the Rhino into a zombie when I asked for the battle. The image used in this article is number 188 of over 200 attempts. When I had green rhinos trampling watermelons, I usually got watermelon features mixed into the rhinos, but that kind of worked.)

I'm very much appreciating this series. That has been my primary complaint about Republicans for a long time, too much centralization and financialization, and not enough care for the local, the land and waters

Indeed. I voted republican for the first time in 2016 because I thought the orange man was different. I will probably not be voting again.

Please vote! The think tanks ARE reconfiguring to support the MAGA agenda. A second Trump term would be different -- especially if we take Congress. This is not 2000 where there truly was little difference between the two major party candidates. (Al Gore used to be a conservative Democrat.)

If the stakes weren't so big, I'd say vote RFK Jr. if you prefer. He's the ideal Rule 4 candidate. But splitting the populist vote and letting the current junta have another term could destroy this country.

If we don't take Congress, then we at least get deadlock.

But if we ran enough Green RINOs in certain Blue districts, we could take Congress resoundingly. Even habitual Democrats are becoming tired of the refugee camps and crime.

I see your point but I live in Kalifornistan so I don’t think my presidential vote will matter. If there was a green RINO I’d vote for him or her. Judges, supervisors and school board seats are important on the local level. But I see a bunch of corrupt politicians. Maybe I should just move.

I realize that it's a really tall order, but I'd like to encourage those in Kalifornia to get involved in their local Republican Party and groom some Green RINOs to run in 2026.

Speaking of Zombie Reagan are you familiar with this analysis of his dreadful sanity.

It is interesting to note that this outfit http://www.project2025.org appeals to his "spirit" to justify their intentions as set out in their muchly detailed manifesto
