Another lifelong Republican leaves GOP

16. Unaffiliated means not brainwashed, not Q and not cult 45

So that's a step in the right direction, which is distancing themselves from the GOPQ.

Becoming independent means they do not and will not blindly support their former party.

I agree we don't want them joining the Dems unless or until they can support our agendas.

While I could never bring myself to do so, I've honestly thought about joining the GOP a few times, just to infiltrate and manipulate their numbers. There are rethugs who are registered Dems but never vote with us. If we (all) joined the GOPQ, we could vote in their primaries, get rid of Q and tRump candidates, influence or complain to the RNC as constituents, then vote for the Dem candidates in the general election. Note: I am not advocating that, just sharing a warped and crazy idea that's popped into my head a couple of times, out of frustration and desperation.

Any (sane) rethugs leaving the party these days are fed up with what it's become. And while they may remain conservative, they no longer owe allegiance to their former party. That's a start.
