Agree 100% with both statements in bold, especially the first one. There were a lot of folks that had no idea the train wreck that was coming when Biden was elected, but there were a lot of us that were not surprised how things turned out, we had already seen the template under Obama.
As to the second, you can say that about most constituents as well, no party is perfect, you have to go with what aligns as best with your ideology, or choose to have no voice at all.
The shame of it is, the Republican platform is very close to my ideology, but the implementation of it by Washington Republicans is not.
Good post.
