Yes I very much respect the minority of conservatives who are loyal Americans instead of power mad neofascists trying to subvert our precious 245 year old democracy.

If there were more than 5 of these unicorns Trump wouldn't have done so well in 2020, and Republicans in congress wouldn't be the clown show that they are today because of the pressure they'd have been receiving from their constituents.

The current state of Repubican leadership convinces me that the only pressure they are getting from their consituents is to go harder with facism.

I hope she fractures the R vote also. But I'm not going to forget what conservative America has enabled and continues to support to this day.
