Vichy Republican
Vichy Republican was a term first used in 2009 to designate Republicans who allegedly sold out on their own party by collaborating with the Democrats against true conservative values and goals by their opponents.[1] This term has also since emerged on social media in 2016 in regards to the United States Presidential campaign of Donald Trump but with an opposing definition. It refers to members of the Republican Party who have chosen to abandon values traditionally espoused by the Republican Party and to support Donald Trump's candidacy due to political expediency rather than genuine agreement with his beliefs or campaign.[2] The term originates from Vichy France, which was the wartime location of the French government which collaborated with the Axis Powers during the Occupation of France during World War II opposed by the Free France led by Charles de Gaulle.
