JUST DEFEAT IT.

Let's make this go viral!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. Copy and paste the picture...

Then post it on other message forums you belong to, such as FB on your timelines, in responses, or Invitation only Political group pages. I do that as well. Causes some people to lash out, others to THINK. It is all in how you word your responses.

Exactly. It can not be reversed.

6. Agreed

8. EXACTLY!!!

9. Walsh isn't exactly Mr. Purity.

[LakeArenal]

10. Rec a million on that....

[speak easy]

11. That's the difference between Dems and the GOP.

Republican welcome people coming over to their side. We view them with suspicion, citing post wrongs, even as we know that the Republican Party has moved so far to the Right, it has left many of its former representatives behind.

Walsh said he would support the Democratic nominee, even a socialist, in February 2022, when Bernie was still in the running.

[TwilightZone]

12. Not really.

It's more like the difference between DU and similar sites and the GOP. On DU, there are some Dems who some don't even want in the tent, much less moderate or former Republicans.

In the real world, most Dems are fine with working toward a common goal with moderate and former Republicans. That's how politics is supposed to work. Michael Steele, George Conway, the Lincoln Project, Adam Kinzinger, Lisa Murkowski, and some other current and former governors and members of Congress in the northeast and purple states, etc. Even Nicolle Wallace is a reformed Republican.

The main problem is that there just aren't enough of them.

[soldierant]

33. There are indeed not enough.

But you have left out some, like Steve Schmidt and Rick Wilson, and I know I'm not remembering them all either.

And I don't feel we can inclde Liz Cheney (certainly not yet) but I can still admire her courage.

I really appreciate Nicolle. I miss her now - but new mothers need time off from other work. I find it hard to see how anyone with ther brain could stay Republican for lng. She can really cut through the BS.

[PatSeg]

13. Yes, it always surprises me

when he says something sane and reasonable, though with Walsh, I always question his motives. He strikes me as a hardcore opportunist. Nonetheless, his words are spot-on.

[speak easy]

14. Walsh said on Fox News that he would support the Democratic nominee,

even if the nominee was a socialist, when Bernie was still in the running in February 2020.

[PatSeg]

22. That's pretty remarkable

Of course, I am still inclined to wonder what the catch is.

[soldierant]

32. No, he's not. But it certainly puts him in a position to be an authority

on Republicans.

[ShazzieB]

35. I agree 100%

I'm always happy to hear former Republicans or even those like Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney who haven't formally left the party (yet?) speak out against TSF. Their voices are extremely important and have the potential to reach people who would never listen to any of us.

I HATE it when people act like it doesn't matter what those people think. They are an asset in this fight to save our democracy, and we need as many of them as we can get!

[soldierant]

36. I agree that it absolutely matters what they think.

I believe they are the key to getting through to others ( not that we'll ever reach everyone,, but we do need as many as we can.)

[mountain grammy]

15. I welcome any and all republicans

Who recognize what their party has become and speak out. Problem is there’s precious few.

[alfredo]

16. Maybe

Maybe a good thrashing at the polls will give them the incentive to question their …..
Naw, they seem to lack the capacity for introspection.

[TakeItEasy]

17. I agree OP

Republicans and everything they stand for needs to be beaten and pummeled to the ground.

There's just no other way around it.

[MontanaMama]

18. Kicking.

This is war. It really is.

[brer cat]

19. I agree. Just defeat it!

[jaxexpat]

20. Would it be okay if, after they've been defeated, ...........

those Republicans guilty of crimes, like lying under oath or spreading propaganda in order to damage our national security go to jail? After we've got that in hand, it would be okay to be sure our house is clean as well.There should, I think most will agree, be some means to discourage treason in the legislative classes.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. I support your novel idea of consequences for lawbreakers in office.

It might, indeed, discourage treason and possibly seditious conspiracy as well.

[jaxexpat]

26. A novel concept, for sure.

I want to go after the "apps" people too.

Who out there is with me? Together we can remove the appian way from our midst. It's easy,there's an app for it!

[AllaN01Bear]

21. i joined after the american peace and freedom party got taken over by kooks .

then came raygun and started the trend downward ,( acutally started with nixon). then the shrubs and next came t,,,, i became no party preference . then a friend convinced me to goto the right side . glad i am here and home . i hope this is the end for them

[Oopsie Daisy]

23. Could "The Republican Party" cease to exist?

Will there be a new party with a new name? Or is it simply going to keep the old name while morphing into the ugly "Dorian Gray" painting/monster?

[Evolve Dammit]

25. Joe Walsh got it. And he's pissed as we all are. I respect that.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

27. The mask is off...

All pretense eliminated.

I guess we can thank The Rapist for that.

30. It was all a lie

That's the title of a book by Stuart (forget his last name) and it's true. Everything the Rs have been claiming to care about for the last five decades has been a lie.

[Seeking Serenity]

31. I agree, as I've previously posted

Past tired of having to campaign against them every two years. Be gone, I say! Just leave it to us

[Roc2020]

34. I had a similar thought earlier

They won't care that Trump loses in November. MAGA won't change. They are at minimum a cult or worse a treasonous movement. They will only get worse after Trump loses. Maybe becoming terrorists. Defeating them at the polls is only the beginning.
