“Clearly there are two GOPs today.”
Yes, there’s the imaginary one that too many conservatives delude themselves into believing exists and there’s the one that exists in reality.
I don’t want to come off as mean-spirited by calling many good people deluded because I recognize it’s very difficult to come face to face with the fact you don’t have a dog in the fight. Normalcy bias tells us that just can’t be true but unfortunately the cold, hard facts tell us otherwise.
Absolutely, you are so right.
I feel like Reagan did when he said “The Democrat Party left me.” It’s like that with the GOP.
