1. They are all reptiles.

2. Libertarian Party has a porcupine

3. Dinosaurs.

4. Rhino is an acronym; “Republican in Name Only” and is used to describe Republicans who differ from the national platform on some level. For example, a Republican that pushes more gun control would likely be called a RINO.

5. Libertarian party has the [humble porcupine](https://www.symbols.com/symbol/the-libertarian-party-symbol) as it’s mascot because it is a defensive animal that doesn’t harm anyone who leaves it alone.

6. Shout-out to the Porcupines

7. Their all piles of shit if you ask me

8. There’s also DINO (Democrat In Name Only), for people like Joe Manchin who are officially Democrats but vote like Republicans.

9. The concept of lame duck

10. BULL MOUSE!!

11. We’ve seen a resurgence of the [Gadsden flag](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d8/Gadsden_flag.svg/1200px-Gadsden_flag.svg.png) in recent years, which has the coiled rattlesnake.

12. You know, the animals are very fitting. Democrats are stupid assholes, and Republicans are old fat fucks.

13. blue dog Dems, doves and hawks, chickenhawks

14. The Bull Moose

15. The Prohibition Party is the oldest existing third party in the US and uses a camel as its logo.

16. DINO

17. “Blue dog” is the colloquial term for a conservative democrat, which is an ever-disappearing but once-common group.
    Hawks and doves, for people who support an interventionist foreign policy and people who are pro-peace.
    Libertarians use both the porcupine and the rattlesnake, meaning “leave me alone”

18. The eagle, dove and turkey have some part of the American political ethos

19. They’re all asses

20. Democrats are a donkey because of Andrew Jackson who’s opponent called him a jackass in 1828. Not the nicest of guys and it is sort of puzzling why he is on the $20 note. In 1854, the Republicans were formed and Lincoln was the first. The elephant was used in political cartoons during the Civil War when “seeing the elephant” was an expression used by soldiers to mean experiencing combat. It didn’t stick until the 1870s.

    RINO is Republican in name only. It’s not a nice thing and it’s just conservatives doing a litmus test.

    Lesser known parties:

    Bull Moose is Teddy Roosevelt and it was around in the early 1900s and this was a progressive party.

    Raccoon was the Whig party which hasn’t been around since 1856.

    Sunflower is the Green Party.

    Panther is the Black Panther party.

21. Porcupine lol.

22. The sheep that follow them

23. The porcupine represents the libertarian party

24. Donald Trump had the centipede.

25. It’s not a rhino, it’s RINO: Republican In Name Only. And we call it a donkey. Some politicians are asses no matter what animal they’re represented by.
