Majority of Republicans Say Party Shouldn't Accept Elected Officials Who Won't Kiss TFG's Ass

A majority of Republicans said the party shouldn't be accepting of politicians who are critical of Donald Trump, according to a new poll.

The survey, released this week by the Pew Research Center, found nearly two-thirds of Republicans said the GOP should be wary of elected officials who openly condemn the former president.

Thirty-two percent of Republicans said the party should be "not too" accepting of such leaders, while 30 percent said it should be "not at all" accepting of officials who publicly lambast Trump.

Just 11 percent of Republicans polled said the GOP should be very accepting of officeholders who do so, while 26 percent said the party should be somewhat accepting. The amount of Republicans who said their party should be accepting of officials who criticize Trump has declined 7 percentage points since March.

we should expect change going forward?

We need to continue the blue wave from 2018-20 going forward.

And there's so much of it!

My personal theory involves cocaine-flavored Preparation H.
