(54,698 posts)Republicans pulled a lot of crazy shit then, but they thought it was part of the "game."
Now, some of them, some who can speak well and get the point across to others like them, are seeing that we have entered a whole new world and that fascism and the end of the Republic are real possibilities.
Those people are now speaking out against the factions that are trying to bring about that fascism and that end of the Republic.
We are in a war. We need all the voices we can get. Voices that republicans used to listen to, and that might be able to pierce some average republican's fog of trumpism and make a few see that they have become morally repugnant to ANYONE with any decency, are very very valuable to our war effort.
I'm not going to bad mouth either Schmidt or Wallace. More power to them.
