I agree. Who is the messenger for this though? Former presidents? It seems every time a Republican dare speak out about the carnival of chaos, they are immediately shunned and disregarded by the base.

The Bushes aren't going to speak up. Their younger members are in on the grift.

Right! I canтАЩt think of anyone that can actually change the minds of the MAGAcolytes. ItтАЩs not a logic thing for them, itтАЩs all base emotion and lack of understanding driving them. So many would have to confront and challenge what their own beliefs are for them to change. I just donтАЩt see anyone cracking through the cognitive dissonance armor they choose to wear.

But there are the people who donтАЩt usually pay attention until two weeks before an election. And there are an increasing number of folk, even on this site, who have given up on being Republican.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. But that doesn't make it not worth doing. And it has to be Biden doing it. Nobody else has the chops, frankly . . .

This message is desperately needed for traditional conservatives and the right leaning Indies. MAGAverse will never change. Swing voters, however, decide elections. They must be reached.

I don't think anyone can. Look at Liz Cheney. There is not one Republican that has her sterling conservative credentials. So committed to United States law that she sacrificed her career to tell the truth. Look how the Republicans treated her. They clearly have no conservative principles.
