More than likely I have seen it and knew what it meant but there are so many lately.........

IOKIYAR is an acronym that stands for "It's OK if you're a Republican". It is used to describe a perceived double standard where actions or behaviors by Republicans are excused, while the same actions by Democrats would be condemned.

Meaning:
The acronym is a commentary on a political phenomenon, suggesting a partisan double standard in how public behavior is judged.
Origin:
The term gained traction in internet circles and online political commentary.
Usage:
It is used to highlight instances where Republicans appear to receive a pass for actions that would be politically damaging for a Democrat.

January 20 is always the date the old President moves out and the new one moves in.
