      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/ …

      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.

      Yes, I've heard your rationalization about this.

      It's not a rationalization, it's what I've been fighting for & against for decades. It's a battle older & larger than Trump, & which will long outlive him.

          Or would have, until the GOP became a craven party of bootlicking seditionists and authoritarians.

          Yes, who doesn’t think Bush era tax rates are more important than the white nationalist takeover of the GOP

          Reactionary libertarian GOP donors, that's who.

          So you're saying that you refuse to abandon the GOP because of your rock-solid adherence to principles such as free trade, respect for alliances, and primacy of the rule of law?

          Simple question: if Trump runs in 2024 (which is looking increasingly likely) and wins the Republican nomination, will you use your platform to vocally oppose his bid to regain power? If not, then why should we believe that you're committed to the cause of liberal democracy?
