Dear sir
What to do? Until the FOG was elected, you and your conservative cohorts were all in and were almost in lock step with Ms. Cheney’s voting record-Ron Johnson, the Supremes, Bush vs. Gore, Obama care,ad nauseam and so logical but no heart, definitely not my cup of tea. However, needs must and I find the Bulwark to provide points…

Until the FOG was elected, you and your conservative cohorts were all in and were almost in lock step with Ms. Cheney’s voting record-Ron Johnson, the Supremes, Bush vs. Gore, Obama care,ad nauseam and so logical but no heart, definitely not my cup of tea. However, needs must and I find the Bulwark to provide points of view and facts not to be found anywhere else. I mean even Mother Jones refers to you. Cheers to Tim, he seems to be the only one of you doing the mea culpa! Given THE FACT that you’all laid the track for our current political situation, it is absolutely right that someone of the conservative persuasion should fall on the political grenade and I,for one, am totally in awe of Ms. Cheney’s and Mr. Kinzinger’s bravery!!! The Republican Party, as you know it, is dead and never coming back-they have joined the Know Nothings on the bus to nowhere. Which leaves you where? I hope that articles such as this will provide some type of ground for moving forward, especially now that it is so clear how dangerous our current situation is. Please keep up the good work.
If every conservative (even the Never-Trump ones) needs to apologize for having "laid the track for our current political situation," what about the people who made the Democratic Party look like the worse alternative to so many Americans, not all of whom are crazy racists? For example, many reports have shown a substantial Latino movement toward the GOP, and it's unlikely that they're drawn to white nationalism.
When the Trumpified GOP wins an election (leaving aside the Electoral College issue for presidential elections), it means that Democrats didn't persuade enough people that they're better. And some Democrats appear disinclined even to try to win over voters who think the GOP better represents their interests. In the progressive wing, it's basically "Who cares what middle America wants? Our demands are righteous, and we will never compromise!"
Our current political situation isn't entirely the doing of conservatives.
Anyone who expects the Dems to be more than they are ignores that great pundit, Will Rogers, who said that he didn’t belong to any organized political party, he was a Democrat. Your points are well taken, but as lame as the Dems. are let’s consider the relative sins, if you will, of each party-make a list and there you are. For example, does saying “defund the police “equal black people being gunned down, both are deplorable but really. Being locked into a political party’s ideology is a road to nowhere. But to your conclusion-every one of the people involved in the culmination of TFOG’s dump on our system is a republican. Many of the people testifying before the Jan. 6 panel-all good conservatives-have said that they would vote for TFOG again. So our current situation may not be the soul fault of the conservatives but so what.
