Like Averroes Nix, I've come to the conclusion that enough is enough and that I can no longer in good conscience, even on this forum, continue to sport the avatar of this despicable cult that calls itself a political party. If Abraham Lincoln, Thaddeus Stevens or other greats saw today's GOP, they would be sickened, replused, shocked and ashamed that this is what their creation has become, that this is how far low this party has sunk. I will now have an I-India avatar, at least for the moment, though I will reain my username - but know that I am disgusted by this party and what it has become, and no longer identify with it. I knew they were terrible but for them to sink this low and actually defend January 6 is several bridges too far - until know I've been a Republican In Name Only but now I feel I cannot in good conscience even be a Republican In Name Only and am now officially an Independent. I urge all good Republicans, centrists like flyingmongoose, even conservatives like GregTheGreat, to at least temporarily cease using the R avatar to demonstrate that this rhetoric should not be tolerated.

I just changed from R-India to I-India and urge all good Republicans (centrist, conservative or in between) to do the same, at least temporarily.

Flyingmongoose has already switched to I-CA for now, which is good.

Reports are that the median age of this movement is 14, and only expected to go down as time goes on.

I move to make the transition to lime green a bipartisan affair, since many left-leaning posters like myself switched from red.

Boris Johnson and Candice Bergen aren't a very good look either.

Boris is a disappointment  , and Pierre Poilievre will be great .

That's why all the Liberals, Dippers and Bloquistes want him to run! I'm surprised to have met someone who actually believes he would be good.

Also Boris being a disappointment is the under statement of the century. I suppose you think he's been too moderate or left on some issues?

Boris was great on Brexit but has been terrible on COVID (way way too pro restrictionist), is way to weak on China , and his economy policies are too left wing .


As for Pierre , keep in mind that Canadian Tories do better when they go to the right not the center . I also want the party to return to where it was in the Harper years and stop it’s movement back to the PC version of the party

Switching from light-green to blue now. Liberals get more bigoted and anti-freedom every year now, and I can't in good conscience be seen as neutral.

I already quit the GQP in 2020 and I cannot in good conscience consider myself even a moderate Democrat.

Lol with you guys sperging so much about "muh Jan 6" I might just change my avatar to R-AUS, despite me aligning with democrats on most issues.
The GOP made the right choice, in fact they haven't gone far enough. Trump has the most based take on everything relating to Jan 6 and tbh the GOP and its candidates should embrace it, just like they should embrace socialism. If Mike Pence did his duty and overturned the election, I would have changed my avatar to Republican.

Since you're from Autralia and won't live with the consequences of where the GOP is going, I'm sure it's a big circus for you. In the US, forgive us for being a little concerned when one of the two major parties is actively trying to end democracy.

Reject lime green, embrace forest green!

We have:
  • OC - Who doesn't want to share an avatar color with the King?
  • The highest per-capita of Woodstock attendees of any party
  • Some parties fly the rainbow flag, we run candidates with rainbow hair.
  • The Four Values
  • Prius carpools save gas money
  • Democrats hate us for being Russian bots, socialists hate us for being liberal hippies,  and we still can't get 3% in a presidential election— conservatives wish they could scare the left as efficiently as us!

I can certainly respect anyone who wants to distance themselves from trumpism.

It remains to be seen whether the GOP will move away from the craziness of the last six years, but there are a few within the party who would like to get rid of the toxicity. We need to see a little more backbone.

Cowards. I abandoned my blue avatar years ago, and it wasn't for some milquetoast lime-green replacement.
