RINO
Formerly stood for Republican In Name Only. Eventually, it fell into widespread overuse, effectively diluting its context.

Currently, it stands for any Republican who is not totally bat-shit crazy on 100 percent of the issues, 100 percent of the time.

Person A: "Senator X is nothing but a RINO!"

Person B: "Oh, he's not a RINO, he just doesn't think schizophrenics should be allowed to carry assault rifles into schools!"

Person A: "That's not right! The Second Amendment says we can carry anywhere!"

Person B: "Sure it does - if you're bat-shit crazy!"

RINO
"Republican In Name Only." A label often used by hardcore conservatives and Trump supporters to attack any member of the GOP who votes against party lines or defies Trump in any way, shape, or form.

"John McCain was nothing but a no good RINO and a traitor to the GOP. His defiance against Trump and saving ObamaCare from being repealed prove his disloyalty to the Republican party."
"John McCain was a maverick who voted for what he believed was right. He was a good man and a war hero. Show some respect."
"He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."
