In reply to the discussion: Michelle Obama compares Donald Trump to 'divorced dad' in scathing remarks [View all]FakeNoose
(32,328 posts)41. If I'm reading this correctly
... in Michelle's metaphor the "divorced Dad" is the fun-guy who spoils his kids on the weekends and he gets to be fun & cool. Meanwhile "divorced Mom" or "single Mom" has to be both parents, take all the responsibility and enforce the rules. She's no fun!
So the GOP is the Dad and the Dems are the Mom.
