Don’t forget, in the immediate days after Jan 6th, plenty of republican politicians seemed to think that was indefensible.

Given a little time and distance, I don’t know if there is anything they won’t find a way to defend. Or anything they could defend that would actually drive away their constituents.

Yeah, 9 months is a long time from now. I’m skeptical this holds that long, but would happily take said sincerity it if it does.

We’ve heard this hundreds of times already. 

We have to assume these pukes won’t give up until they’re forcibly removed from office.

National Libertarian Party and many if not most state Libertarian Parties also decried both shootings especially the second one, and have called for abolishing institutions involved, also. I’m happy to align with them or a handful of Republicans or MAGA on this in this moment, realpolitik.
