A few months ago, people were saying that the position of conservatives was the deciding factor in whether authoritarians succeed. Makes sense to me. For example, the pre-election ads run by Republicans against Trump were powerful.
But Charlie, please understand that many potential Democratic voters think the democracy-is-at-stake theme is overhyped and care more about kitchen table issues. That’s why the Reconciliation bill is so important. The Dems have to walk and chew bubblegum. I wouldn’t expect conservatives to like the $3.5 trillion version of the Reconciliation bill but you’ve kept your criticism relatively low-key in consideration of the threat to democracy and I think that’s wise.
I live in Louisiana. John Bel Edwards had substantial Republican support in gubernatorial race. How about approaching him for help forming a Louisiana chapter of Republicans Against Trumpism?
