The Dominican Revolutionary Party. Founded in 1939, it first took power in 1962 but was ousted by a coup, triggering the 1965 civil war. Since founder Juan Bosch (a prominent intellectual and politician) left in disgust, the party has devolved from a democratic movement into a collection of factions chasing private interests. Members are stereotyped as ignorant, incompetent, and power-hungry populists who mimic the speaking style of historical figures like Jose Francisco Pena Gomez. They offer fierce, arbitrary opposition when out of power, but once in office, they practice the same things they criticized, often saying 'power is meant to be used' or 'it is better to be on top under pressure than at the bottom in a depression.'
Dominican Lowlife Party. A derogatory way to refer to a political party where the country's most trashy and low-class people stand out. (PRD officially stands for the Dominican Revolutionary Party, but the middle word is replaced here with ratrero, a slang term for a lowlife or someone without dignity).
A political party founded by the military in Panama, currently full of wolves in sheep's clothing who criticize everything when in the opposition but solve nothing once in power (The Revolutionary Democratic Party was the political arm of the military dictatorship).
PRD = Thief, corrupt, paramilitary thug (referring to the military-era Dignity Battalions).
