Republicanists

If the Republicans (and, increasingly, the media) get to keep calling us the “Democrat Party” instead of the “Democratic Party,” because they think it subliminally emphasizes the word “rat,” can we start calling them “Republicanists”? As in “What my Republicanist colleague forgets to mention is…”
It would make people think “pianist” every time they thought about the GOP. Ha ha ha! That would be funny! If people thought all Republicanists played piano! “Hey Ahnold, why don’t you go play piano or something?”
Seriously. We should do this.
