In reply to the discussion: Beware of GOP rehabilitation. [View all]swong19104
(642 posts)19. We still have to be wary
these control freak conservatives arent die-hard Republicans. To them, its just a name. Remember, they were Southern Democrats back in 1900s to 1950s. Then Dixiecrats before becoming Republicans. They will worm their way into the Democratic Party (if some havent already). Sinema, Manchin, Gabbard were of this ilk. Fetterman is a special case. But look out for Platner.
They need to be identified not by the R after their name. All potential candidates need to be thoroughly vetted. And after the eventual destruction of the GOP, these cretins wont stay humbled. Theyre definitely going to work their way into the Democratic Party, the Green Party, and even a possible progressive party, should such a thing exist.

My position is: If you voted for Trump in 2020, you do not have the ability of using good judgement...
