To all the self declared republicans

in the various media who express their dislike for trump etc. but still hold on to their republican party because you like their policies like small government and fiscal responsibility. If you truly dislike trump you only have one option, lobby the republican members of Congress to remove this lying criminal from office and restore your role in the government that they have abandoned and made Congress moot. Republicans in Congress are the only ones who can solve the problem before the people take action. See you all on April 5 th. Hands off.

They enable more crimes than there are words for. I won't vainly appeal to a sense of honor they don't have.

They're like the Prussian generals who counted themselves innocent of the Third Reich because once in 1935 they feebly raised the point that maybe, kinda, sorta, ze fuhrer could do ziss instead of zat.

their policies like small government and fiscal responsibility."

People who believe that the Republican party is for small government and/or fiscal responsibility are either ignorant of the truth or brainwashed. It is great to try to fracture the cracks that exist in the Republican party, especially now when they control all three branches of government and most state legislatures; however, thinking that these people are likely to become permanent allies of a progressive Democratic party is misguided, in my opinion.
But there certainly are some Republicans who are anti-maga, or at least anti-Trump, and politics certainly does make strange bedfellows.
