Should we start calling the MAGA base "Royalists"? [View all]

Or perhaps “Tories”?

Seems fitting, given the 250th anniversary of the ousting of our last King…

Wouldn’t it be delicious to hear Rep. Omar rise to speak, and say:

“Since my esteemed royalist colleagues are so fond of living under a monarch, might I suggest that they move back to England, where it seems they would clearly be more comfortable”.
