I'm sorry but if someone is pretending to be a Republican

to gain favor with Trump, skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately 'rip off consumers and crush competitors'

doesn't that just make them… a Republican?

In case you hadn't noticed, the Democrats have been just as much into exactly the same thing by actively pushing deregulation and the rest of the Neoliberal mantra as the Republicans.

Those parties differ in the Moral and Freedom planes but Economically they're very much the same (except right before an election when the Democrats will do a bit of loud but toothless pro-consumer announcements of intentions on things they had 4 years to fix but chose not to).

If you have any doubts, just go check who overthrew the Glass-Steagal act, which ended up causing of the 2008 Crash and who was the President during that time who chose to unconditionally rescue some of the nastiest investment banks around - you'll find they're both Democrats.

Right? I feel like almost every 'Republican' is just an opportunist that likes to cherry pick the things Republicans supposedly stand for these days. I think any people out there who can say that they wholeheartedly agree with every talking point on the Republican agenda (the ones that don't shift constantly) then they are horrible, horrible, terrible soulless excuses for human beings.
