What Does a "Good" Republican Look Like?
The party is rotten, through and through.
snip
The Good Republicans are as openly indifferent to argument and evidence as the Bad Republicans. Like the Bad Republicans, they dont even feel the need to pretend to be objective. And at the end of the day, they vote the same way as the Bad Republicans, too.
So maybe pinning your hopes for rebuilding a non-authoritarian political party around these guys isnt going to work out so good. The few remaining non-Trumpy conservatives might want to come up with another plan.

The whole party needs to be dissolved for the good of the country.

That the word "good" and republicon should even be in the same book say nothing of the same page or sentence

(31,261 posts)3. I have dealt with a lot of Magats. I honestly have met only a handful that
I would say had harsh racial feelings, but that may be because I am Black.
Many of them seem intent on getting back to the good ole days, viewing those days ONLY through the prism of their lives, they make no real attempt to understand why a Black person would see those days in a starkly different light.
