(2,574 posts)61. Never trust any Republican.
The Republican party is the party of neo-nazi white supremacist domestic terrorists. They elected Trump, and they fought tooth and nail to re-elect him. It is Republicans who gave us this nasty SCOTUS. They fight everywhere to keep people from voting. They are currently planning to go to court in a desperate attempt to overturn the election. It's not the kleft that is doing this, it is fascist Republicans.
Kasich was a fill in host for Bill O'Reilly on Fox News, and had his own Fox News show, Heartland With John Kasich, for six years.
While Governor of Ohio he successfully fought to suppress the vote in Ohio:

Kasich signs voting bills that end Golden Week and limit distribution of absentee ballots
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Gov. John Kasich signed into law Friday changes to Ohios election rules on early voting and handling of absentee ballot applications.

The bills, hotly contested by Democrats, cleared the General Assembly Wednesday after heated debate. Democrats said the changes will make it harder for people to vote and lead to more absentee ballots being discarded due technical errors. They warned that the people most affected by the changes are those in urban populations, populations that tend to vote Democratic.
Rep. Chris Redfern of Catawba Island, who also is chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party, promised his party would sue to stop the bills from taking effect.

The Ohio Association of Election Officials recommended the five-day period be scrapped to create a clean break between when voters can register and when they can cast ballots. Democrats and voter rights advocates said reducing early voting days would disenfranchise voters and lead to longer lines at the polls. They also questioned the urgency and motive behind passing the bills.

Isn't that just special?
Any Democrats who are Republican sympathizers haven't cleared all the brainwash, and desperately need therapy to get the Fox News and Limbaugh completely out of their heads.
Yes, there may be a handful of Republicans who sort of don't like Trump, but most of them probably voted for him in 2016 and 2020 anyway. Democrats must unite the entire left, or Trump, or another Hitler wannabe just like him, or far worse, will unite the the Republican Cult of Trump Worshipers, and Trump Republican fascism will be back, with a vengeance.
