<p>Throughout 2022, President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-soul-of-joe-bidens-america-is-dark-as-hell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> has warned the American people that the GOP &#8220;isn&#8217;t your father&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/republican-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republican Party</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>He also said that line in <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?186375-1/jefferson-jackson-dinner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2005</a>, <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2008/09/obama-biden-pound-on-the-economy-013266" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2008</a>, <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/09/13/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-reception-for-the-democratic-national-committee-5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2009</a>, <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2010/10/re-biden-not-your-fathers-republican-party-thomas-shakely/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2010</a>, <a href="https://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/19/bidens-wishful-trump-thinking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2011</a>, <a href="https://www.eastidahonews.com/2012/09/joe-biden-calls-gop-a-different-breed-of-cat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2012</a>, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2013/06/11/biden-unplugged-on-behalf-of-markeys-senate-bid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2013</a>, <a href="https://gwtoday.gwu.edu/vice-president-gop-budget-would-crush-education-research" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2014</a>, <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2015/04/13/biden-ready-decide-presidential-run/25736725/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2015</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/771379579701325824?s=20&amp;t=iN2IyUsmqctYdhGXJuvS3g" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2016</a>, <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2018/11/06/joe-biden-2020-announce-964820" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018</a>, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/06/biden-trump-is-ripping-the-soul-out-of-america-and-recession-is-likely.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2019</a>, and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/02/us/politics/joe-biden-2020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020</a>.</p>
<p>For nearly twenty years straight, Biden has lamented that his political opponents are a bunch of radicals. They are, as he loves to say, &#8220;a different breed of cat.&#8221;</p>
<p>That begs the question, just who exactly does Biden consider to be &#8220;your father&#8217;s Republican Party?&#8221;</p>
<p>Biden thought the era of compassionate and big government conservatism under President George W. Bush was something extraordinarily out of the norm. It wasn&#8217;t that different from President George H.W. Bush&#8217;s Republican Party</p>
<p>The party at the time pushed for tax cuts, nation building, was socially moderate, and even softer on illegal immigration. But that was too extreme for Biden.</p>
<p>In 2008, he thought that noted centrist and late John McCain — somebody who reportedly wanted Independent Senator Joe Lieberman to be his running mate — didn&#8217;t represent your &#8220;father&#8217;s Republican Party.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then, in 2009, the Tea Party was born in reaction to big business bailouts and an over-bloated government that ignored the constitution — a hallmark of both Bush&#8217;s and McCain&#8217;s GOP. By 2010, Biden warned that the grassroots movement had taken over the Republican Party, and voila — the GOP of yesteryear was gone once again.</p>
<p>“This is not your father’s Republican Party,” Biden <a href="https://www.startribune.com/biden-your-father-s-republicans-not-the-same-cats-as-today/104376148/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at a 2010 fundraiser. “This is the Republican Tea Party. These are not the same brand of cat you are dealing with.”</p>
<p>The Tea Party had historic wins in Congress that year, and by 2012, then-President Barack Obama and Biden were pining for the days of McCain.</p>
<p>Can you guess what Biden said in that race?</p>
<p>&#8220;This is not your father&#8217;s Republican Party,&#8221; he said again. &#8220;This is a different party than I&#8217;m used to &#8230; It really is different.&#8221;</p>
<p>And, he&#8217;s warning that &#8220;MAGA Republicans&#8221; have taken over the party. This new &#8220;breed of cat&#8221; represents one of the worst threats to democracy itself ever, as the president tells it.</p>
<p>In short, it still isn&#8217;t clear what party Biden is familiar with.</p>
<p>Neocons, moderates, the Tea Party, MAGA supporters, populists, and folks like Donald Trump, Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT), former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI), former Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH), and more are not included in a mythical Republican Party that Biden remembers fondly.</p>
<p>Over the years, Biden has actually <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/09/biden-bob-packwood-at-womens-event/380509/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thrown out the names</a> of a few Republicans whom he considered to be the standard bearers of the GOP. Senator Charles &#8220;Mac&#8221; Mathias (R-MD), Senator John Warner (R-VA), and Senator Bob Packwood (R-OR).</p>
<p>All three men were considered liberal Republicans, Warner <a href="https://richmond.com/news/virginia/former-sen-john-warner-endorses-joe-biden/article_0d92453f-e0ed-51e5-8f17-ea6c67c96734.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsed</a> him in 2020, and Packwood <a href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-09-08-mn-43532-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resigned</a> in 1995 over sexual assault allegations.</p>
<p>So, it seems that Biden&#8217;s preferred version of the GOP is one that doesn&#8217;t fight the Left, supports his platform without question, and is filled with creeps.</p>
<p>If that is &#8220;your father&#8217;s Republican Party,&#8221; it&#8217;s a good thing the GOP no longer represents that.</p>
