Quoted from a friend.
A message to my fellow Republicans, or to what’s left of us.
To those of us who have not forgotten the concept of the loyal opposition and refuse to embrace the politics of bigotry and hate. For us who will not be driven by fear. Who will not be misled by showmanship, bright lights, bullying, and reality TV type social media propaganda. To us who still believe that those who hold the office of the Presidency must be decent, civil. We who know our government, institutions, political traditions, party leadership and the political parties themselves are not things to be overthrown, evaded, ignored, insulted, and laughed at. Who know compromise is not betrayal.
We created the current situation, we failed and our party is most likely doomed because of it. That is what a Trump victory means for the party. I know many of you don’t understand this, but some of you do. A Trump victory seems almost certain and very soon we will be asked to fall in line and support the party nominee, as we have always done. I would like to believe that Trump can’t win a general election, but I am uncertain.
Now that Hillary is the likely winner of the democrat party nominee
I will not vote for Trump just because he is the Republican candidate and I will not sit out the election. At this point our best option is a general rebellion of GOP members refusing to vote for Trump. Perhaps we will be able to support a 3rd party candidate, thereby insuring he doesn’t win the Presidency. We are responsible for this con-man’s rise, and we must do everything in our power to stop him. We can survive another Democrat presidency.
Rebel my fellow Republicans… Fight the rising tide, in the GOP, of the politics of fear.
Rebel and hope for a better day.#nevertrump
