    It’s always “former” or “outgoing” any time a GOP member is vocal like this. Even among those willing to push back against the MAGA agenda, they’ll only do it when they can afford to piss off the extremist freaks they need to win elections. What a toxic Party…

      Most of the people leaving are doing so because the MAGAs don’t follow the 11th commandment, not because of any of the things the party is doing. Specifically the breaking point seems to have been them campaigning against sitting Rs in the House.

        11th commandment. What pious cunts. Such decor of religion to then turn around and completely disregard it. Jesus feeds the needy, Jesus hangs with the downtrodden. These people are Pharisees, nothing more.

        Ah yes, the 11th Commandment. Party unity before all else (like, you know, the country)

      It’s because they are all cowards. Every single one of them. Liz Cheney was close at the end to showing she has a spine, but she saw the writing on the wall before her exit was official, so it was basically “outgoing” it just wasn’t official.
