25. Wish these journalists would stop pretending that the cure for the Republican Party is . . .

Merely the ouster of Donald Trump. The whole GOP has turned into an anti-democratic, authoritarian viper's nest. Trump was a vehicle, a means to an end. The Burn the House Down contingent is still out there with a vengeance and a vendetta--eliminate all liberal 'woke' politicians, silence their supporters and reshape the country in their own vile image.

Heard a great quote by Michael Steele today using Hershel Walker, Glen Youngkin and Ron DeSantis as markers for the state of the Republican Party.

Glen Youngkin is who they think they are, the nuanced, political tight-rope walker in a sweater-vest, who can win elections even in a state like Virginia. A savvy version of Mr. Rogers.

Ron DeSantis is who they want to be, the anti-democratic, rule smashing Governor who wiped out any and all competition and threatens anyone questioning his authority.

And then there's Hershel Walker, the inept, incoherent, couldn't tell the truth if he tripped over it candidate. This is who they really are.

LOL!

All three are a threat to our democratic Republic, as are those supporting and enabling these political characters.

This is why we fight!
