If they're anything like the people in my town, they will just say that those advisors are all RINOs and not real Republicans

Trump seems pretty good at appointing RINOs to advisory positions.

This, and as far as I can tell, the only way to avoid being called a RINO is to completely eschew any kind of critical thinking and absolutely toe the party line regardless of how asinine or nonsensical.

I can think of a few other ways to avoid being called a RINO that doesn't involve abandoning critical thinking or toeing the Republican party line. Tacking a "(D)" behind your name, for example.

The don't thing is that the term RINO was initially coined for people exactly like Trump.
