The GOP can’t be saved. Center-right voters need to become Biden Republicans.
The Washington Post ^ | April 7, 2021 | Max Boot

Posted on 04/08/2021 10:07:17 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), one of only 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump this year, recently told the Atlantic why he remains committed to the party: “I’m a Republican because I’ve been a Republican far longer than Donald Trump has. He’s a Republican usurper.… I’m not going to let him take the party. So I will fight. I will fight like hell.”

It is a decision I have not for a moment regretted, because the GOP has become even more of a horror show than I anticipated. As former House speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) notes in a new memoir, the “crazies” have taken over. There are vanishingly few John McCain-style Republicans left; Kinzinger (a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard) is one of the few. The party’s center of gravity has shifted to kooks such as Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (who blamed Jewish space lasers for wildfires) and low-rent hucksters such as Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz (who reportedly shared nude photos of his sexual conquests with his colleagues and is under investigation for possible sex trafficking).

No one who is in the Center, let alone Center Right, has anything in common with the collectivist nutjobs in the Biden camp.

Kinzinger is a twerp cut from the same cloth as Boehner and Ryan!

So glad I left the worthless Republican Party!

Still too many for my taste, however...

At least the title is half right.

I never thought I’d agree with Max Boot on anything, but I do here. Anti Trump Republicans need to take off their mask and join the Ds.

Is this for Thursday afternoon humour? Especially with these howlers:

“I admire Kinzinger’s fighting spirit. I once shared it.”

“Most Republicans don’t care that Trump locked up children, cozied up to white supremacists, tear-gassed peaceful protesters, benefited from Russian help in both of his campaigns, egregiously mishandled the pandemic, incited a violent attack on the Capitol and even faced fraud complaints from his own donors.”

“Biden has turbocharged vaccinations with better management”

The “go along so we get a cut of the corruption” RINO Republicans need to all be purged.

They are just taking off the masks.

The GOP has had almost no Republican members for about 30 years. Now the “Republicans” are saying “Let’s stand strong behind Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and their Red Chinese Overlords!”

Things have gotten so bad in America, that our enemies are no longer bothering to hide.

I agree 100%, that the GOP cannot be saved and that the Biden supporters should leave.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger have you ever heard the saying:

Your own Party and Country couldn’t trust you, why should we??

Pass I have a fear of stepping into a democrat grave never knowing when the dirt will be shoveled in.

I would blow my brains out first.

If I wanted to be in a dictatorship I would just move to N. Korea.

“...the GOP has become even more of a horror show...”

Well, he got one thing right.
