I get the frustration with the R party - in MO we have a lot of internal battles between the purists and what I call the 'big tent' Republicans. 2022 primaries were vicious, with a lot of negative campaigning between the NO compromise candidates and those who, at least in our blue county (but red state), had a fighting chance of winning as they were more moderate, and there IS a contingent of D's who are disgusted with their party's left turn. But the no compromise candidates who lost in the primary supporters largely stayed home in November, said they would not vote for a 'RINO', and the D's swept the county offices and picked up some seats in the MO legislature. Things are not looking good for 2024 either, too many discouraged R's who jumped in with both feet when covid happened and got active for the first time have thrown up their hands and disengaged. I keep saying, the left plays the long game, and we have to get smarter and work together, but it mostly falls on deaf ears. There is a big R enthusiasm deficit heading into 2024. Trump is huge in rural red areas but the D rot is spreading due to them fleeing the mess they made of the most populated areas.
