re: leaving the Republican Party. I agree with those sentiments toward those who run the party, who hate us. But I stay in the party. If there’s enough of us, we can vote for candidates we hope will be better. There are more of us than there are of them, but finding candidates who aren’t already compromised and can move up in the party isn’t easy.
I can still do now what I did before for candidates that are OK. Locally, the Republican candidates are too far left for me, so I can’t really do any grassroots or volunteer here. I support Trump. I’m not mentally a Republican anymore.
