DM, I understand your quest and it's a difficult one. For around 60-years of my recollection, repugs have abused the English language for their ends. They have totally adulterated the meaning of words such as conservative, freedom and liberty, and they have taken many other useful words hostage.

No good answer from here right off the bat, but perhaps these descriptors will stir our thinking:

1. Greedy.
2. Elitist.
3. Autocratic.
4. Authoritarian.
5. Plutocratic.
6. Oligarchic.
7. Psychopathic.
8. Sociopathic.
9. Selfish.
10. Self-centered.
11. Hypocritical.
12. Racist.
13. Misogynistic.
14. Power mad/power hungry.
15. Fear driven.
16. LIAR.
17. Deceitful.
18. Hateful.

Combine all that into one word and you have "Republican", LOL.
