Three words I never thought I’d ever utter: I’m a Democrat. This former Republican Congressman, former Republican candidate for President, this former TEA Party champion is formally joining the Democratic Party. The stakes are simply too high to NOT become a Democrat. Let me explain why.
Let’s start with the obvious—a tyrant sits in the White House. The very thing our Founders feared most is here. Throw in the fact that one of our two major political parties is a real and direct threat to democracy and the rule of law. These are unprecedented, dangerous times in America. I know it. You know it. There are even Republicans who know it.
Anyone who cares about the Constitution cannot sit by and watch as fundamental American values—the rule of law, democracy, pluralism—are attacked. Daily. To defeat my former party and defend democracy, we must do something different. We must assemble a broad coalition of moderates, progressives, and, yes, even conservatives.
We’ve never been here before. Of course we’ve always fought about and debated policy—how best to pay for healthcare, whether taxes should be raised or cut, and how best to deal with immigration. But we’ve never before fought about actually remaining a democracy or abiding by the Constitution and the rule of law. Now we are.

Without freedom, democracy, and the rule of law, America ceases to be. And currently, only the Democratic Party is on the side of all three of these core American values. There isn’t a third party coming to the rescue any time soon. Right now, the Democratic Party is democracy’s lone defender and best hope.

God help us. He has it all bassackwards, and that is the nicest way I can say it.
Wow. I guess he completely forgot the Biden years.
Moron.
Is this satire or just the ramblings of a delusional idiot
I'd say this falls into projection given how wrong he is.
Did the Deep State get to him?????
One of the defining traits of democrats is selective amnesia.
The “other” Joe Walsh makes a lot more sense.
Walsh is Adam Kinzinger without the tears.
From the article:
“I’ve opened my eyes and listened to people who don’t think like me. And by doing so, I gained a greater understanding of and appreciation for LGBTQ issues, structural racism, the need for empathetic immigration reform, the dangers of climate change, and the role government must play to help care for the neediest and most vulnerable among us.”
In other words, he has bought into the Left wing propaganda, hook, line, and sinker. Because the issues he champions above were and are all being used to destroy the Constitutional order and the country.
Don’t know. Its possible. Either blackmail or bribery or a combination of both.
Walsh talking stupid again. Ranting for Ratings™.
TDS: it has very strange effects on those who suffer from it.
He lost his seat and he’s trying to figure out how to get back in.
Who is this DumFuk and why does anyone care?
Joining the world of biology deniers and the war on women and girls, porn being peddled to minor school children, drag queens giving lap dances in school assemblies, anti-Semitism, open borders allowing for terrorist gangs, sex slavery/human trafficking, drug cartels killing and destroying the lives of countless families, etc. to all flourish within the US, attacks on people of faith and free exercise of religion, etc. Could go on and on. Today’s Joe Walsh - a far-left extremist. Betraying everything he previously believed in due to irrational hatred of Donald Trump.
Well, sorry to learn of his testicle removal in the middle of his dementia diagnosis while his boyfriend is held at gunpoint and his closet skeletons are coming out to roost.
Hmmmm.
As olde Sam said,
Joe, crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. Samuel Adams.
