In the days after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, the phone lines and websites of local election officials across the country were jumping: Tens of thousands of Republicans were calling or logging on to switch their party affiliations.
In California, more than 33,000 registered Republicans left the party during the three weeks after the Washington riot. In Pennsylvania, more than 12,000 voters left the G.O.P. in the past month, and more than 10,000 Republicans changed their registration in Arizona.
An analysis of January voting records by The New York Times found that nearly 140,000 Republicans had quit the party in 25 states that had readily available data (19 states do not have registration by party). Voting experts said the data indicated a stronger-than-usual flight from a political party after a presidential election, as well as the potential start of a damaging period for G.O.P. registrations as voters recoil from the Capitol violence and its fallout.

They’re leaving because the don’t want the Gestapo showing up at their door. That would include me.
If they do show up I’m going out in the biggest blaze of glory EVER.

awaiting Dutchsinse’s newest podcast in a few minutes but apparently a 7.7mag earthquake happening somewhere in the Pacific....stay tuned...
BS.
Every individual who told me they and/or a family member were leaving the GOP and going independent - since shortly after the election until this very moment - said specifically that they did so because the GOP would not back DJT or otherwise show any spine, and they perceived the GOP as happily acquiescing in a stolen election. They have had enough of being lied to by the Republican powers-that-be and wasting their time, money and passion.
EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
That is not anonymous sources or editorializing.
I have left the Republican/Whig Party - for principled reasons: they no longer represent me! ...haven't for a long time. But when they vote to impeach a Republican president for propaganda reasons I have had it!
When Bill Clintooon broke laws and compelled others to perjury, aside form his sexual adventures, the 'rat Party defended him to the n'th degree. Republicans/Whigs instead run all the way home crying weee, weee, weee.
Goodbye!
