In a moment of frankness, Republicans Against Trump founder Tim Miller revealed that his efforts to dethrone President Donald Trump are part of a kind of GOP atonement.

But it was when [Nicolle] Wallace asked Miller what the impetus was for all of the fire burning underneath former Republicans to make sure that Donald Trump doesnt serve a second term?
Miller gave a surprisingly frank answer that Wallace said she hasnt been able to get out of other GOP operatives fighting back against Trump.
Man, I think that my friend John Weaver used this word in a recent article, atonement,' Miller said. We have a special responsibility to take this guy down. Hes a monster of our creating somewhat, even some of us worked against him in 2016. And so, you know, family feuds always get a little bit nastier. You know how to take your siblings down a peg better than strangers do. Were doing our best to do that and were really trying to go into these red states. That ad that you saw those are the first states we went into and where were spending our money right now because we think there are a lot of Republicans like us in those states. When they hear from people like us, they get the strength to come out and say, me, too. Ive had enough of this guy, too. Even though Ive identified as a Republican my whole life, weve just had enough. Hes just demonstrated hes not up for the job.

(29,732 posts)get no kudos from me because they produced this monster and they are now cleaning up their mess. They do have a special responsibility and I'm glad they know it. But they are still republicons in their hearts. Rick Wilson told Vet Votes "good work son." They still think their white maleness demands privilege.
