IOKIYAR. It means "it's OK if you're a Republican."

What we're not really considering here is the absoluteness of that phrase: remember, Mr. Trump famously said he could kill someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and still draw votes. Name the crime and Republicans either have done it themselves or have paid other people to, and they still get elected. It makes no sense to me but I'm not of the mindset that a good leader is one that hurts as many people as possible.
