I left the GOP because it seemed to be losing it way. Last week convinced me I was right.
Opinion by Kurt Bardella
I dont think Ive recently experienced a span of days that quite so neatly captures the difference between being a Democrat and being a Republican in todays America.
Last week began with the GOPs wannabe standard-bearer, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, using human beings as political props for a craven publicity stunt designed to stoke right-wing outrage toward migrants.
Then, the current Republican Party standard-bearer found himself in even more legal hot water after the New York attorney general's lawsuit alleging Trump and his eldest children committed fraud. (This happened on the same day that a court-appointed special master called Trumps bluff and ordered him to back up the conspiracy theory that the FBI planted evidence at Mar-a-Lago.)

Meanwhile, Democrats convened in New York for a trifecta of high-profile confabs: the United Nations General Assembly, NYC Climate Week and the return of the Clinton Global Initiative. At the U.N. General Assembly, President Joe Biden delivered a forceful rebuke of Russian leader Vladimir Putin and a defense of Ukraines efforts to resist the Russian attack. The president also announced $2.9 billion in additional funding to address global food insecurity.

keeping white, "straight," "Christian" men at the top of the power structure.
