A vote for @KamalaHarris is a vote to get politics out of everyone’s face - and maybe even start to see a normal Republican Party reemerge.

They are all about control, and the idea that they will no longer be in control of one of the two parties no doubt has to terrify them, because it means that people will start to ignore them again, the way they SHOULD HAVE BEEN ignored.

Everyone has a right to their vote and their opinion. That is the essence of a democracy. However, democracy also works upon the principle that if you cannot convince enough people of the validity of your position, then you do not have the right to unilaterally establish that position. You have to compromise. You have to be willing to see other's viewpoints, and to ceded concessions in order to gain concessions. MAGA is the American Apartheid, and it is antithetical to the whole idea of a democracy.

They would never join a rational republican party. The chem-trails wouldn't let them...

I don't think they heard him say that, with all the noise of the rallies and fake news and stuff.
