I have been a Republican all of my voting life, but I have never voted a straight ticket- choosing who I felt were the best candidates for the job. The last administration drove my solid Republican roots out of me and moved me much closer to the middle than I have ever been before. I hate what the current Republican Party leaders espouse. It makes no sense to me to chase after someone who was voted out and then refused to follow our Constitution for the transfer of power. It was a shame and a disgrace, and I will not follow, nor vote for, anyone following that man, TFG, who appears more and more to be a liar and a “fake” leader-of-sorts.
What has become of our country? I just don’t recognize it anymore. The untruths being put out there for people to believe are sometimes sickening and totally beyond our Democratic (not the party) values. If they continue to act the way they are, our democracy will fall in short order, and that’s just what the authoritarian-led countries are waiting for.
A while back I described my political views as “progressive conservative.” Offended a far right friend. After some thought I changed it to a “Madisonian.” Got no reaction.
