    The notion that people who have devoted their lives to causes should abandon those causes and the people to whom they matter is pure nihilism.https://twitter.com/BillKristol/status/1394408007770025984 …

    “A much more useful approach would be for these Republicans to announce they will back Democratic candidates...I suspect Bush, Cheney, Romney and other anti-Trump Republicans know that is the best strategy. But identity politics is getting in the way.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/05/17/dangerous-identity-politics-anti-trump-republicans/ …

        It's really just stupid. Partisanship being what it is, Bush backing a Democrat could move his family and 3 of his closest friends and that's about it. More interesting would be trying to get a third party some play and a few (maybe temporary) seats by jumping en masse

        Or it’s pure patriotism seeing as the most likely 2024 Pub nominee is the former guy that tried to steal an election and provoked Jan. 6th. What does it say about all of these leaders that would support such a man to lead us again knowing full well he’s a threat to our future...?

        So it would seem to me that the more important project over the next few years for Conservatives is to move heaven and earth to prevent that.

        You're of course correct that people should be loyal to causes and values, but not to arbitrary brand names of institutions. Support who presently represents your most important values, no matter the arbitrary name. Republican. Democrat. Independent. Means no more than Whig.

        Or, another way to look at it, is that ensuring the continued existence of liberal democracy is more important than your particularistic causes.

        The Democrats have been assaulting that for a century, and they have deep institutional support for doing so.

        The bigotry just under the surface of the republican party which drove policy is now at the surface. Time to choose wisely over the next year.
