    Normal people don’t have to be told that

      Normal people aren’t MAGA Republicans, and I clarified between republics and MAGA Republicans deliberately. It’s time for Republicans to say No to Trump and take their party back next election - sit out or vote Harris this election and in a massive defeat MAGA will be destroyed and Republican party can be rebuilt on proper grounds again.

        The problem is that their career would have been declared dead by political suicide by the time they got about halfway through even reading that sentence. Remember, many of these people represent districts that see all the bigotry and hatred and are saying “Yes, we want more of that.”, and standing up to Trump has not gone well for virtually any prominent member of the party.

        People have tried what you suggested, to varying degrees. Liz Cheney, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney. It hasn’t ultimately led to a defeat of MAGA. All it’s done is leave the door open for them to be replaced by people even crazier than they are.

        The thing I find intriguing is what’s going to happen when Trump is no longer around. It’s such a cult of personality and he’s the type of person to suck all the air out of a room. There is no one that will have that kind of impact and it will leave a huge vacuum when he’s no longer around.

        Honestly, in a nation whose founding is linked upon slavery & apartheid why do we want to keep a party whose ideological anchor is tied to those same chains ?

        Republicans have been a cancer going back to Nixon and the southern strategy. There is nothing there to rebuild or redeem. The party and its ideology need to be utterly destroyed.
