The Democrats should OFFICIALLY declare the Republican Party dead, and only refer to the MAGA Party from now on. Do an actual press conference, and make an official announcement - the Republican Party no longer exists, and has been replaced by the MAGA Party. That will make the traditional Republicans absolutely crazy, and the Dems should keep it up.

Never use the word Republican ever again, refer only to the MAGA, or MAGA Nazi Party. On talk shows, interviews, sound bites, fundraising texts, etc., use the term MAGA Party exclusively. When asked about it, simply say casually and matter-of-factly "The Republican Party is dead, they are the MAGA Party from now on," and leave it at that. Make the MAGAs cry.

I like calling them MAGAts because it just sounds right to me.

The Party Formerly Known as Republican

The Republicans tried doing a similar thing to the Democratic Party by calling it the "Democrat Party", but members of the Democratic Party basically just ignored this and treated those who used it as stupid, or offered "helpful corrections" to the user's "inadvertent mistake". Eventually, it lost currency because it failed in its goal of upsetting people.
