I do not enjoy being categorized (coincidental with my ideologies) with others who misrepresent my beliefs. The republican party is the party which represents the republican ideologies, not as you say, one in which people deem themselves republicans.
If things continue as they are I will call tyrants tyrants, as I hope all educated individuals would.
Like I said, the Republican party has evolved into something entirely different. You may hold to the idealistic version of what the Republican party once stood for, but the party itself is no longer interested in those ideals.
