I think I recall respecting some of your other comments, so I will definitely take it under advisement, though.
I like the term because it is rude and describes that they are outrage- and fear-addicted Fox News watchers who don’t care about long term success for the country. I wish there was something comparably derisive to replace it with.
I’m going to respond to both of your comments here since it looks like Lemmy hiccuped somehow.
There’s plenty of terms off the top of my head, sheeple, orange cultists, Ya’ll Qaeda, idiots, etc.
Using references to monkeys, especially in a discussion about racism doesn’t need anyone to reference black people. That is the reference. Here’s some good reading on the subject.
If you want to use the ancient form of it I would make sure to declare a noun as being ape-like. “Trump supporters are a bunch of scared apes.”
Does “Trumpanzee Repubs” imply black republican (given the post’s context)? If so, that’s offensive as fuck. Even if it doesn’t imply black republican, I’d still avoid ever using that term ever again, just in case.
Trumpanzee Repubs still need to see a signed and notarized affidavit of racism before they’ll own up to it.
Dude come on. We’re literally talking about racism. Black people have been compared to monkeys for centuries, this isn’t new.
I don’t recall comparing black people to monkeys. You don’t want anyone comparing Trumpers to apes?

You think that’s meant to mean black Republicans in the context of a comment complaining about Donald’s racism?
No, I think it’s a poor choice and one that you can easily avoid in future. It skirts really close to racial if not fully over the line.
And even then they’ll act like it doesn’t matter.
