Calling all the moderates in the Republican Party — if there is to be any chance of saving the party, you must vote the extremists out. No more election deniers, no more ridiculous culture wars (does anyone really care if the green M&M isn’t sexy anymore?), no more assault on the LGBTQ community and no more assault on women’s reproductive health (please look up the story of five Texas women who had to fight for the right to an abortion when it was realized they could not carry to term — now one of them is infertile from being forced to wait so long to abort).
Does the government really belong in our bedrooms? At one time the GOP stood for individual rights, for American businesses and for commonsense laws on immigration and gun control. Can these principals be restored? Or is the party just too far gone?
