No one who does not support the "Big Lie" has any business calling themselves a Republican.

That is who they are now. If that is not who a handful of principled people are, why do they not---at the very least---declare themselves Independents and leave them to their self-destructive and transparent mendacity?

I don't expect Cheney, Romney, and the few others to join the Democratic Party. But what's the point in staying in the Republican Party? They may as well be Independents.

Can you imagine a person climbing the corporate ranks that doesn't espouse tax breaks for the rich and corporations, that believes in the general welfare more than profits, that wants regulations that force corporations to act ethically?

The people who get promotions in business are the ones that are pleasing to the ones that are giving the promotions.

It is a self perpetuating system.
