5. I have my share of Trumpanzees around here but even more Log Cabin Republicans, many who voted for him

They vote Republican every time because it's a generational thing. It's who there Grandparents and Parents voted for. They don't think about "who" they are voting for they've just been multi-generationally trained to not vote Democrat. I can talk issues with Krasnov with those Republicans, they are in the FAFO stage. But my exchanges are quite heated now because I've moved on to their party not him. And I tell them if they want to really be "Republicans" they better kick the MAGA crowd to the street. I've gotten flak from friends who say we can't get their votes if we speak to them that way. Fuck that. I don't want their votes. I want them to do what's right for the country. To be a true Patriot. FIX THEIR PARTY. Unfortunately its a necessary evil. But it has become tyrannical.
