Time for sane Republicans to vote to save our democracy

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-qanon-2658203545/

"Trump shared a picture of himself wearing a Q lapel pin, overlaid with the QAnon phrases 'The Storm is Coming' and 'WWG1WGA,' on his Truth Social account on Monday evening. The post had been originally shared on Truth Social by an account called 'Patriots in Control,' before Trump re-shared it," reported David Gilbert. "'How much more obvious can it get?' one QAnon follower asked in the QAnon-focus Great Awakening forum."

In QAnon lore, "The Storm" will occur when Trump finally reveals that he has unraveled a global conspiracy of Satanic pedophiles and will announce mass arrests. QAnon adherents never explain why Trump never did any of this during the four years when he was president and apparently seemed more focused on rage-tweeting about "Morning Joe" segments."

Even if all four of them vote Democratic, I don't think an election will be swayed in our favor by them alone.

That it's up to Republicans? Sounds like we are waiting to cuckolded by the MAGA crowd.

I swear this is something I would hear on CNN, although they would also be criticizing Joe Biden if he didn't supplicate enough.

I didn't read that as us waiting for saviors, and in no way did I find it "weak or impotent."

I read the headline as stating a need that is self-evident, but that none of us are sure the sane Rs will fulfill.
