Sen. Lisa Murkowski, aghast at Donald Trumpâs candidacy and the direction of her party, wonât rule out bolting from the GOP.
The veteran Alaska Republican, one of seven Republicans who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial amid the aftermath of January 6, 2021, is done with the former president and said she âabsolutelyâ would not vote for him.
âI wish that as Republicans, we had ⌠a nominee that I could get behind,â Murkowski told CNN. âI certainly canât get behind Donald Trump.â
The partyâs shift toward Trump has caused Murkowski to consider her future within the GOP. In the interview, she would not say if she would remain a Republican.
Asked if she would become an independent, Murkowski said: âOh, I think Iâm very independent minded.â And she added: âI just regret that our party is seemingly becoming a party of Donald Trump.â
That is frustrating, but also peanuts compared to whatâs on the table today. We are facing a very real risk of losing our democracy to christofascism, and if we let that happen, the 3rd parties and everyone else who isnât a christofascist is fucked.
Vote according to the reality of our situation; donât let an unachievable ideal enable the greater evil.
This is just my opinion, but I do not believe those people most of us associate with chrisofascism are Christian at all.
Again, just my opinion, none of these politicians or people screaming about their faith no anything about Christianity. Or are not at all followers of it.
As is the case with almost every âchristianâ. Itâs never been about the religion - thatâs just a tool to sell hateful policies.
I usually call it plain old bigotry, but I think some just legitimately donât know it.
I have met people who had good hearts, but stupid beliefs. I think some are sheltered and do t have perspective.
Then thereâs cake lady. AKA, bigot. Exactly what you said.
