Just a brief summary of the character of the Republican front runner for the 2024 presidential nomination from Michael Bender and David Goodman of the New York Times. “In the last 28 months, former President Donald J. Trump:
- has been voted out of the White House,
- impeached for his role in the Capitol riot and
- criticized for marching many of his fellow Republicans off an electoral cliff in the 2022 midterms with his drumbeat of election-fraud lies.
- He dined at home with a white supremacist in November.
- He called for the termination of the Constitution in December.
- He declared himself “more angry” than ever in January.
- He vowed to make retribution a hallmark of a second term in the White House in March.
- He has embraced the QAnon conspiracy theory movement,
- described President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia as a genius and
- used a gay joke to mock a fellow Republican.
- He has become the target of four criminal investigations, including one in New York that
- he warned might result in “potential death & destruction.”
Still, Mr. Trump remains a strong front-runner for the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nomination.”
What on earth happened to the Republican Party that I once was part of? This is nuts. But his Cult is drinking the kool aid. And some have guns.
I beg Republicans to just turn away. Change the dial. Just like The Apprentice fans finally grew weary of the ever more boring show and went elsewhere. Please, go elsewhere. Stop nominating mentally ill people.
