party, with Trump taking all his loyalists into his new "third party": think about it----do you really WANT those anti-American racists in YOUR party?
Are the Q-anon crazies and the Proud Boy applauders REALLY who you want in your tent?
Are you ok with telling Republicans like Pence or McCain or Raffensberger or Cheney to get the hell out of the GOP?
Lord knows, we don't agree on a whole lot politically, but while we differ on what is best for the nation, we do agree that this is OUR nation and we do want what is best for it.
Keep those Trump cultists and there will be no unity that is anything more than cosmetic. Disavow them and intentionally separate from them and we can talk; we can compromise; we can govern together.
Yes, you will be members of a smaller party numerically. But, you will have shown yourselves to be much larger than those who choose to worship at the Trump altar.
And, won't you feel "cleaner"?
Think about it, ok?
