15. There is no Republican Party in the near future
Tue Nov 24, 2020, 04:39 AM
Nov 2020

Think this ad hits it pretty square on. The Republicans have given up on the idea of basic democratic principles. They've sworn allegiance to Trump and will be looking to advance the next Trump clone, perhaps more articulate and savvy. But just as dangerous. In fact, more so because Trump fans are primed for more of the same, the strongman, the authoritarian, the individual who will make promises galore with no intention of fulfilling them. But always with a scapegoat to blame for failure.

Republican silence during this grim period is a mark of complicity. They've capitulated. They've chosen a side and it's simply not with the American people or anything that approaches what the country yearns to be, a better version of itself.

Never forget, never forgive.

Any of them.
