from Maga Land if/when our pres candidate wins. Granted, not a whole lot but I think they can and have provided a valuable service by driving in wedges and further fracturing the party. The more of them that renounce Maga the better, cos that then can help others to find courage to leave the cult. If the refugees from the repub party simply became democrats i dont think it has the same effect, and I dont think they would do it. If tables were turned I dont think I would. I love Kamala's whole strategy about this. The cult of Maga needs to be marginalized and driven back into the fringes from whence it came - whatever it takes! If that means collaborating with some on what we have in common ie respect for constitution and rule of law - then so be it, we can go back to our regularly scheduled programming later.
