If GOP means Republican party, and stands for Grand Old Party, why would you call them that when criticising them? Unless it's meant to be sarcastic.

Little known fact: it actually stands for gaslight obstruct project.

Even though I know it stands for “grand old party,” and the party certainly is not “grand” anymore, I still call it GOP. But now I just imagine it’s GOB from Arrested Development.

I don’t care for GOP

Im going to start pronouncing it like GOB just for that little extra bit of disrespect.

Same reason we let them call themselves "Pro Life". You use the name the group gives themselves.

I want to be known as "Pro Choice" as named by my own group. If the other group could name us, we'd be "Pro Baby Murder" or something like that.

Gotta let them name themselves if we want to do the same. Their actions put a stain on whatever name they choose, so word choice doesn't matter for long anyway.
