Keeping up the stir

 

                                         Thoughts From The  Middle Of Nowhere

 

   I am a Republican; this is getting harder to say, Caucasian, Christian, cisgender, heterosexual male. Now is not the time to end these conversations.

   We need to keep stirring the pot. A majority of the Republican party is consistently embracing conspiracy theories.

   They are kneeling at the feet of former President Trump as if he were some sort of god. They are giving voice to the lie that he was defeated and removed from office by means of fraud and deception.

   The new leaders being deferred to; Senators Hawley and Cruz and Representatives McCarthy and Taylor-Greene are not only sticking by the big lie they are adding to it with other deceptions.

   It is time for all U.S. citizens to stand up and demand that these liars follow their leader Trump into political oblivion. The Republican party should take the lead in removing them from office and actively seek reasonable, intelligent, honest replacements.

   Perhaps it is time for me to change my opening: I am an Independent, etc. and urge others to redefine themselves likewise.
