I live in a small upper middle class town in northern NJ. Last night the League of Women Voters held its annual Town Council Forum for candidates running for our town council. This is usually where moms and dads running for local office debate things like new turf for the high school football field and whether we should allow a vape shop to come in where the old sushi restaurant no one went to used to be. Last night the forum was canceled because the Republican candidates boycotted on the grounds that the League of Women Voters is a radical liberal group that supports open borders and CRT funded by George Soros (it is actually funded by the occasional sale of baked goods). I used to think dysfunction in Washington was a joke but we could all live in the real world in our local communities and leave the idiocy to D.C. I didn't realize to what extent it is coming for us all.
Once upon a time Peter Navarro (yes, that one) ran for office several times in San Diego. I was president of our local Community Council and we hosted a LWV candidates forum to which he was invited. He refused to come unless it was clear I'd do nothing more than introduce the moderator and then sit down. Now I watch what's happening to him with the utmost in delicious schadenfreude. :D
It's really now the whole party. I mean, it could have been different, but it's the chosen path. I feel sad, disappointed, and disgusted, but I left as soon as the convention nominated Trump in 2016 and probably should have sooner, but for hope there would be a stronger stand against populism and Trump.
