1. Huh? No. They should be referred to as "Republicans".

"Proles" may on occasion vote "r" but they also vote "d" and many if not a slim majority don't vote at all.

These are the people working their asses off just to pay rent. Not moderately wealthy suburban christo-faschist asswipes that want the creation of "Gilead".

2. But proles were easily manipulated into blind patriotism.

I wasn't speaking from a socioeconomic perspective. I meant that they can so easily be kept in line and never questioning what the party is doing.

3. I was really into "Rubberstampers"

I think as the war drags on and more and more people are pissed off at Bush over it, to drive home the idea that Republicans can't think for themselves and just follow whatever idiocy Bush suggests would be a great politcal strategy.
any catchy name that suggests that is groovy with me.

but what is proles in reference to?
maybe I am an idiot, but that blows right over my head.

5. Hell no

They're royalists. They've jettisoned every last principle supposedly dear to Republicans to protect their party overlords.

6. If they have any equivalent in 1984, it's the

outer party members. They're completeley brainwashed into believing in the Party's supreme righteousness, and yet they're held at arm's length and thoroughly exploited.
