No. Not even Romney or McCain. They have been evil and corrupt for a long time. It's only in recent years they've been so blatant with it. They've been doing similar or the same things just on the down low before that. If you are associated with that party you are complicit in their heinous acts.

Yes, but the problem is they cant regularly watch Fox News or listen to Limbaugh or read breitbart. Once they go down that path, small chance of them being good. Those sources rot the soul.

Id like to think there are some at the local and state levels who want to do right by folks but havent been in long enough for the kool-aid to poison their souls. I couldnt tell you who they are though.

There are a relatively large number of disillusioned Republicans, like myself. But a lot of us have come to the realization that this problem has been festering in the Republican party for far longer than just a few years, and I honestly don't think the Republicans ever deserve to be in power again after what they did. And who they've clearly shown themselves to be. I can't ever risk allowing that kind of insanity to happen again, knowing they were too chickenshit to stand up against it.

You really can't be an economic conservative and a social liberal, and somehow use that as justification to be a Republican anymore. There are plenty of economic conservatives in the Democratic party who aren't racist assholes, so our best bet is just go with them instead.

Eisenhower was legitimately one of the best presidents ever, but it's fair to say he would not support the modern Republican party.

As someone from oklahoma, I can tell you Tulsa's mayor GT Bynum is really quite good, which is precisely why Trump hated him so much.

He got so much hell from Trump and Gov Kevin Stitt over early mask mandates and opposing Trump's rally in Tulsa (RIP Herman Cain).

Precisely. At this point, trying to change the party from the inside is pointless as it's completely overrun by a personality cult. Maybe a new party can be born from the ashes, but that's going to be decades.

The republicans were a legitimate party until regan took over. After that they have become a crazed cult, that believe in the shitty reganomics. Bush sr. Was the last decent republican and he had warmongering issues, but at least he helped with the deficit that regan fucked up. But most republicans are pretty shitty nowadays. I don't know how anyone can be a Republican nowadays. After this last election cycle, fuck em. Never gonna vote republican again.

Yeah, I was always one of those, "Hey quit with the stereotypes, sure there are some weird, screwy republicans but most are great and trying to do the right thing!" But the Trump era really opened my eyes to most of the negative stereotypes being true about most republicans, they just hid it until Trump made it cool, or something. I've been all "Hey my fellow republicans, this doesn't represent us, we have to stand against it!" and almost everyone I know is either, "NO this is the greatest ever, MAGA!" or "Yeah Trump is kind of dumb but hey he's not a democrat, so..."

That said I've always liked Mittens and Kasich and this Rep. Kinzinger that came into a bit of prominence more recently seems cool.

EDIT: and duh, Mike Nelson.

I think Romney gets points because he at least gives the appearance of having actual values, instead of just being a corrupt ****.

They aren't good values, but I guess something bad is better than nothing at all?
