        I take it you’re new to politics. GOP as a ‘pronoun’ has been a thing for decades. Possibly since the phrase ‘Grand Old Party’ was originated.

                Definition of a Pronoun : The word that is used in place of a noun or a noun phrase is known as pronoun. A pronoun is used in place of a noun to avoid the repetition of the noun.

                GOP isn’t a ‘pronoun,’ it’s a nickname and has been for decades.

                    [sigh] A pronoun is a word you use instead of a proper name. “The Model T was built for decades. It was America’s most popular car.” In that sentence ‘it’ is a pronoun.

                    “The Model T was a common sight in every city and town. Everyone knew someone who drove a Tin Lizzie.” Tin Lizzie was another name for the Model T. ‘Tin Lizzie’ isn’t a pronoun, it’s a proper name.

                    GOP isn’t a ‘pronoun’ and never was. It’s always been a proper name and that’s how I used it. Like the word ‘fish’ it can mean a single member of the Republican Party, or the Party as a whole.
