I left that worthless cuck party in 2021 and wished I had done so sooner.
********
I’ve been a registered Republican since 1989 and will remain in party, so I can vote for Trump in my state which has *closed primary.
However, I left the Republican ‘Reservation’ in 2004, 2008, & 2012 and voted for 3rd party candidates in the general elections
Bush in his 2nd term, McCain, & Romney were terrible candidates that I was unable support.
It’s hard at first to abandon a party that you grew up with, but the only way to implement change is to let the knuckleheads know, that just because you wear the Republican label doesn’t mean you’re entitled to my vote.
If we keep supporting republicans with the only condition being they aren’t democrats, we will continue to get Uniparty Republicrat politicians instead of MAGA.
*Closed primaries only allow voters registered to a political party to vote in their primaries.
Do you think the 45 MILLION VOTERS that voted for BIDEN thought he was PERFECT?? NO THEY DIDN'T, but they wanted DEMOCRATS TO RULE!! THEY PLAY TO WIN......YOU DIDN'T PLAY BECAUSE OUR CANDIDATE WASN"T JESUS!
There are no more political solutions to begin with. We will never vote our way out of this.
I sometimes wish Texas would go to a closed primary system. I am sure RINOs like John (Wayne during election season...Bobbit during Congressional session) Cornyn would NOT make it out of the primaries!
But then again, I would have to officially join the Republican party to vote in their primaries, and at this point in time, I am not sure I want my name on their roles any more than I want mine on the Democrat’s roles!

Well said. I agree 100%.
I left it in 2014 when when they stabbed us in the back on immigration. The Hispanic senator and McCain.
I have been a registered Republican since 1983 but like you bailed on the national party in 2008-2010 time frame. It took every thing I had in me to vote for McCain, I loathed that lying, backstabbing SOB and had Palin not been on the ticket I was voting third party. I held my nose and voted for those two douche bags they nominated in 12. I voted for one of my senators, Rand Paul but stopped voting in 2010 for my representative and the other scumbag McConnell.
I remain registered as a Republican for local and state party primary races but at the national level I consider myself a conservative independent. I have no intentions of ever voting again for another establishment Republican for president. The FR establishment cadre will castigate me for not voting for any candidate with an R in front of their name and claim I support the Democrats. But seriously, this same establishment knows the noodle wristed pusscakes they nominate are despised by the parties base and they nominate and run them anyway knowing they lose votes so who really supports the Democrats here.
At this point the Republican Party is little more than a Little Me-Me version of the Democrat Party. I’m done with them.
