You made my point better than I ever could. Most Repubs would rather lose graciously than get their lily white gloves dirty. Most Repubs are very gracious and live above the fray as they watch their country being destroyed.
Trump is more of a hardhat than a country club member even though he owns country clubs.
It’s not about losing graciously. It’s about winning honorably. If you sink to the depths of depravity of your enemy, to fight them, you haven’t accomplished anything, except spread depravity.
Trump blamed the 2022 election losses on the conservative commitment to life, rather than his horrible hand picked candidates in swing states. Trump called Florida’s new heartbeat law quote “terrible.” Trump says he can’t tell if a man can become a woman or not. His supposed pick for his Secretary of State, Dick Grennell, is the one who was putting rainbow flags on our embassies. Trump lies when he says Coumo and Newsome did better on Covid than DeSantis. From all appearances he’s estranged from his 3rd wife now, and partying on New Year’s eve with scantily clad “lawyers.” He’s now admitted he had no plan to have Mexico pay for the wall. He’s called for the execution of the Chairman on of the Joint Chiefs that he himself appointed, and gave a medal to on his final day in office. Trump said the Constitution should be terminated so he can be “installed” as President. And just yesterday, he called on even sick people to get out and vote for him, even if it meant they died in the process.
These are just a few examples off the top of my head, of the type of behavior that shouldn’t be glorified, it should be repelled. I understand people are desperate to close the border, etc, but Trump didn’t even do anything that lasted a day after he left office anyway. I’m not going to lower myself that level, for just the mere possibility, of a fleeting victory by way of a charlatan. I am going to maintain my principles, which I believe are from God, and eternal. If that makes me “Sanctimonious” so be it. I’m not going to be corrupted in this fleeting life, when I am being judged for something greater.
