I once was an enthusiastic Republican. That ended in 92 when the Buchananites (the original trumpites) knifed HW in the back and helped elect Clinton. Bush, McCain, and Romney were okay when they ran. Then came this abomination.
We use to be the party of ideas, most good, some not so, but overall a big improvement to the same old, same old, just throw money at interest groups and problems approach of the other side. We were for free trade, opportunity, balanced budgets, lower taxes, free markets, safe borders, and a global order that believed in human rights and utterly defeated the Soviets by rubbing their noses in their bankrupt totalitarianism.
Now we are for tarrifs, crazy deficit spending, fearmongering, isolationism, divisiveness, crazy rhetoric, kissing the ass of a dictator led, much weaker version of the Soviets, and evangelical social right wingism.
Count me out.
