Never Trumpers are still republicans and still see the world that way.

Never Trumpers are still and always will be republicans. As soon as Trump is out of office, all the "no longer" republicans will go right back to being republicans. We see it in moments when the topic isn't Trump. Senators who are Trump haters still always vote the republican line. Trump hasn't changed who they are or how they see the world. The same is true for "never Trumper" television personalities. These people see the world through a republican lens. Trump hasn't changed that. We see it today in how they are reacting to the Kavanaugh Confirmation and Dr. Ford's accusations.

Their demographic continues to die off and they cannot win without Unindicted Co-Conspirator cult followers. We are the majority. It comes down to us versus ourselves. If those who purport to be of us would stop undermining us we would never have to suffer Republican stupidity

I know that sounds harsh. But the truth is that democrats are often self-sabotaging.

What's harsh is that some who purport to be Democrats enable Republican lies and smears by buying into them.

GW is out campaigning for Repgs, Michael Steele is defending the party and the handling of Kavanugh. Yeah, all those pretty words only apply to drumpf as an individual but now that an election is near and Dems are surging, they are showing their true stripes and want us to vote repug. Don't trust the never trumpers, not one bit. They all still cheer the tax cuts, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh so are still anti-worker.

Trump and his base were created by the Republican Party over the last 50+ years.
