Joke Halloween costume: a rational, science-believing Republican
Original: I'm going to my office's # Halloween party as a rational # Republican who believes in # HumanRights , # vaccines , and #
A social media user joked they would attend their office Halloween party dressed as a rational Republican who believes in human rights, vaccines and climate change — meaning they were staying home. The quip plays on the idea that such positions now set someone apart from the party's mainstream, with the punchline implying that a Republican holding those views would be pure fantasy.
Why now: The joke resonates amid political polarisation in the United States, particularly around science and climate ahead of Halloween.
