This is an open letter to my Republican friends. I do not want to see you and your party go down the drain — which is where you are headed.
This nation needs at least two functioning political parties each of which can present policy proposals to the voters, debate those proposals, and let the voters decide.
We do not have a two-party system any longer. We have one party — the Democratic Party — and a cult — the cult of Donald Trump.
You need to drop Trump. Run away from him. Put away the Trump flags, the MAGA hats, scrape off the bumper stickers, and purge Trump from your memory.
Donald Trump is a piece of dog shit on your shoe that you cannot scrape off. Scrape him off.
Under Trump, the Republican Party has suffered the rare humiliation of failing to win a second term in the Oval Office, and has lost a majority in the Senate three times.
Today, despicable people are the rule, not the exception, in the Republican party: Trump, Pence, McConnell, McCarthy, Taylor-Greene, Boebert, Gaetz, Biggs ,Gosar, Jordan, Gohmert, Miller, Cruz, Cotton, Paul, Graham, Kennedy, Rubio, DeSantis, Abbot, Noem ———–. We all could add dozens to that list, but the point is that these radical soulless extremists ARE the GOP now.
The Democratic Party is a traditional major political party trying to better govern this nation for the benefit of all its citizens. Currently, there is no other traditional major political party in this country. The GOP has devolved into a neurotic blustering personality cult led by a mentally unstable child.
It is time for you to drop Trump and become a rational, reasonable political party again.
Doing this will not be easy. Trump still controls a rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth 30% of the Party. If you drop him, this mob will shriek and howl, disrupt your meetings, call you names — but you need to drop Trump, face the howling mob — they will go away
