Youre correct, this message isnt for the GQP, this message is for those that dont want to go out and vote
Enormous divisions are showing within the GOP as the unreasonable forces are gaining ground, but the old guard knows how insane and fascist this path is.
That part of the GOP is sizable and realizing they don't need to follow along the same path as the fascists. Give those people a soft landing, not a harsh criticism, and they'll join your decision that they don't want the future presented to them.
What a fancy way to say, "please dont punish us for spending the last 8 years supporting a rapist who our members of the House voted to support in an attempt to overthrow democracy!"
Punish? Where'd that come from
Youre assuming punish in the most direct sense of the word.
Im not talking about beating people in the streets.
Yeah I didn't take issue with the definition or literal use, it's that what that person wrote doesn't correspond with what you said with any interpretation of "punish".
His point is that they FEAR punishment. 🤦
