At the end of the day, we just have to come to terms that the Republicans just don't represent us. They're back to defense mode and talking BS non-stop on TV about stopping the Dem agenda knowing full well they don't have the numbers. They're grifters who will continue to get rich just like the Dems and never pushed the agenda that the people voted for in 2024. The base will not come out and vote in 2028 in any significant numbers and that was part of the Dem agenda, to disenfranchise the voters.
I think we need to come to grips with the fact that Republican politicians are representative of Republican voters. MAGA is not 100% of Republican voters. Democrats were faced with a block of Socialists in their party and eventually they accepted them because they represent a growing voting block. Many Republican voters are disenfranchised Democrats. Those voters are not going to tow the MAGA line.
We need to convince these people that America first policies are teh correct policies for America. Insulting them and kicking them out of the party is counter productive.
I also think these weak Republicans are going to be even more assertive now because they think MAGA dies with the end of Trump's second term. They are wrong I think. We still form a major voting block in the Republican party and no one can win without us. Ask Susan Collins.
But, we can't win without the other Republicans either. Ask Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton.
Somehow, we have to find common ground and agree to respect each other. If we can do that, then we are pretty much finished as a party and Democrats win for a generation.
