You turds don’t get to cop out like that. Republicans and their shit policies and tactics led directly to this. If you are upset at how fast it escalated that’s on you too.

I say this often when I talk about the problem to people here in Nebraska because it’s so Republican. Only Republicans or self identified conservatives can start fixing their party. It’s past the point where they would ever listen to someone like me, a proud liberal. But I know that there have to some principled conservatives out there who could at least try and make the case that the party needs to dump Trump.
