I've been a Republican since I first voted for Richard Nixon (sorry about that.) I admit I have not often liked my choices, and this election was no different. The problem has been that the Democrats keep moving Leftward, while I am staying put. But if the Republicans can not see fit to repeal Obamacare, or give us meaningful tax reform, what good are they? I intend to sit the next election out. Or, as David Prentiss put it:
What is a nation who has been lied to by both parties supposed to do? What is the base of the GOP going to do?
I don’t know, but I do know I’ve never seen the center right base so disgusted and angry at its own. GOP: Trust me, the base hasn’t left Trump, but it has left you. It’s not official yet, but the avalanche is about to begin. The anger is going to boil over. Upon you. GOP: you’re not going to like it, but you have no one to blame but yourselves.
To the very small list of conservatives that fought the good fight: I apologize. But to the rest: You have become like the salt in the parable. Good for nothing.
