>It seems unlikely that an anarchist would use the term "RINO" except as a joke. Anarchists reject the entire ridiculous Coke-vs-Pepsi circus

Rejecting the fact that a red team vs blue team dynamic exists is denying the political reality of the time. I used the term RINO because it accurately describes Trump, a centrist who is using the R next to his name as a way to get more votes rather than an indication of his beliefs.



...denying the political reality of the time.

Yes let's do that. We're anarchists after all, so we're allowed to step back and see the forest. D gets elected, the government spends more money, some oppressed group becomes slightly less so, the rest of us become slightly more so, we bomb some benighted Asian locale. R gets elected, the government spends more money, some oppressed group becomes slightly less so, the rest of us become slightly more so, we bomb some benighted "developing" locale. D gets elected...

This is literally every presidential administration in my lifetime and in my parents' lifetimes. What "dynamic" could possibly merit attention, which changes so little?
