If McCarthy ends up as speaker GOP will find HUGE numbers of their base just dropping out!! It took me 50+ years to drop out I am a slow learner we kept hoping YET kept losing our country!! I AM DONE, I hope the younger generation finds a way to restore their nation HOWEVER as weaponized as the government has become I don’t have much faith left!!!
“If McCarthy ends up as speaker GOP will find HUGE numbers of their base just dropping out”...doubtful.
Most people, those who vote Republican, probably don’t even know McCarthy’s name. Secondly I doubt Republican voters are going to “drop out” as you say over who is Speaker.
How many people do you think there are that actively frequent and support this site?? Now take that number, whatever it is, and that is how many will drop out as you say. I suspect the number is minuscule compared to the number of Republican voters in this country. So the effect of people dropping out as you put it will be close to zero.
