More than 30,000 voters who had been registered members of the Republican Party have changed their voter registration in the weeks after a mob of pro-Trump supporters attacked the Capitol — an issue that led the House to impeach the former president for inciting the violence.
The massive wave of defections is a virtually unprecedented exodus that could spell trouble for a party that is trying to find its way after losing the presidential race and the Senate majority.

I’m fixing to get flamed by a bunch of lefty scum.

BWAHAHAHA
They’re changing because of the capitol riots??? Not because Republicans have proven to be 90% spineless derp douchebags?!?!
Of course The Hill gets it wrong. It’s not because of the Capitol. It’s because our election was stolen from us and NOBODY did a damn thing about it! The other half of it is the 30,000 of us (I’m one) don’t want to be hauled off to the camps if the time ever comes. TYVM!
Effers.
