I left the Republican Party. Now I want Democrats to take over
The washington Post ^ | July 04, 2018 | Max Boot

Posted on 07/04/2018 10:56:46 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Personally, I’ve thrown up my hands in despair at the debased state of the GOP. I don’t want to be identified with the party of the child-snatchers. But I respect principled conservatives who are willing to stay and fight to reclaim a once-great party that freed the slaves and helped to win the Cold War. What I can’t respect are head-in-the-sand conservatives who continue to support the GOP by pretending that nothing has changed.

They act, these political ostriches, as if this were still the party of Ronald Reagan and John McCain rather than of Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller — and therefore they cling to the illusion that supporting Republican candidates will advance their avowed views. Wrong. The current GOP still has a few resemblances to the party of old — it still cuts taxes and supports conservative judges. But a vote for the GOP in November is also a vote for egregious obstruction of justice, rampant conflicts of interest, the demonization of minorities, the debasement of political discourse, the alienation of America’s allies, the end of free trade and the appeasement of dictators.

That is why I join Will and other principled conservatives, both current and former Republicans, in rooting for a Democratic takeover of both houses in November. Like postwar Germany and Japan, the Republican Party must first be destroyed before it can be rebuilt.

Boy have the scales dropped from my eyes.
So many people I had respect for before 2008, and especially 2016 have been revealed to be frauds.

It’s quite.....liberating.

I would never associate myself with “the party of John McCain”.

Its election time, more “I’ve been a registered Republican since 31 B.C., but now, in good conscious, I must stand against internment camps”.

Right. The children they “snatch” are lucky to survive.

I’m still laughing about “the party of Reagan and McCain.” Real conservatives never mention those two names in one breath.

Is he insane?

Just as things are moving towards the right again, he wants to surrender and turn it back over to the left!

“I don’t want to be identified with the party of the child-snatchers.” This one quote tells he the author does not have the ability to think. Baby snatchers?

Don’t want to be a Republican, then go, I for one will not miss you.

Explaining my decision, I noted that Trumpkins “want to transform the GOP into a European-style nationalist party that opposes cuts in entitlement programs, believes in deportation of undocumented immigrants, white identity politics, protectionism and isolationism backed by hyper-macho threats to bomb the living daylights out of anyone who messes with us.

I don't believe Trumpkins want to oppose cuts in entitlement programs, and that they would be in favor of American identity politics over white identity politics. -Tom
