For context, the author is one of the more influential members of the Federalist Society, the right-wing judicial takeover group. If you’ve lost him, you’ve lost a huge chunk of people who have historically funded the Republican party patronage machine.
It’s too late. This is just a small monster finally grown scared of the big monster he helped create. He’ll be shot in the street by the very people his ideologically driven program made, and he will die with a Pikachu face like the rest forced to face the abomination they’ve unleashed.
One thing has always been true of fascist states every time they’ve manifested. They eat their own. In their final form, they are without center. And when the society under its thrall finally comes-to, as if from a fever dream, they’re surrounded by the remains of all that was lost. And then, finally, they lament.
Sadly, this will change nothing. The information ecosystem is so bifurcated it won’t reach the intended audience. Won’t be covered by Fox, or anyone else, certainly in any kind of unslanted manner.
Sorry bud, you’re not a republican any more… They’ve left you behind because your morals were based on something.
There aren’t a lot of conservative judges like this guy left. He testified in front of the January 6 Committee, so Trump lost him a while ago, but his testimony and subsequent public interviews are master classes in what it means to put the country before partisanship. I strongly disagree with his judicial philosophy and his conservatism, and find a lot of his views to be antiquated and part of the problem, but he stood up and spoke out when others didn’t. That should still mean something for a judge, who rarely go public like this.

there never were many conservatives like this judge. trumpers have always been the republican majority as they are now; but they were managed by higher profile conservatives like this judge and that gave republicans the popular palatability they needed to remain politically relevant.
things started to change with the tea party movement and the few remaining respectable conservatives recognized the shift and tried to control it as first publicly evidenced by john mccain’s vice presidential pick with sarah palin; but it’s led to trump and now they’re simply along for the ride as a passenger in their own party.
Polls indicate Trump has overwhelming approval among republicans.
There’s only like 10 of those mythical never-trump moderate respectable republicans, and every single one of them has a job writing editorials for NYT and other liberal media.
Yep, they’re only alienating democrats by trotting these people out. You should go out and show that both parties aren’t the same instead of platforming people that say Kamala will further the goals of the American Empire and won’t get in the way of the further hollowing out of the judiciary.
Dems literally couldn’t have given republicans a bigger gift than abandoning any message of progress or materially improving people’s conditions to chase <10% of the republican base. Republicans are campaigning just by associating the democrats with the policies of the republicans they keep trotting out to represent them. https://xcancel.com/OS26/status/1850299840627921180
I don’t know what ads you’re seeing, but basically every ad I see for Harris is about materially improving people’s lives 😅
