"Trump jumps into a divisive battle over the GOP's future with a threat to start a Patriot Party"

Washington Post headline this morning.

WHAT?

I heard idle talk about this, but if this has any legs, it will be the first thing Trump has supported that I can get behind.

REALLY split the Republican Party in two instead of just spewing headline-getting speculation?

BRING IT ON!

I get the division politics but this is the wrong time to invite them back on the national stage.

Absolutely wrong.

We've got so damned much important climate and covid work ahead, we must not let this derail this administration.

We can't be so addicted to our past suffering that we fall for cult hype headlines from anywhere.

He didn't like the sound of it. Reminded him of Nazi Germany and it sounded "brown shirty" to him. I agree.
