High-Profile Republican Jumps Ship

From “Occupy Democrats”:

Georgia’s former Republican Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan enrages MAGA world by switching parties to become a Democrat in a stunning rebuke of Trump’s party.

“There’s no date on a calendar or line in the sand that points to the exact moment in time my political heart changed, but it has,” Duncan wrote in a new op-ed for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “My decision was centered around my daily struggle to love my neighbor, as a Republican.”

He stated that his journey to become a Democrat started even before Trump attempted to “steal” the election in 2020 and undermine the democratic will of the people.

Duncan reeled off a murder’s row of issues he has with the modern Republican Party, citing their inexcusable dismantling of our healthcare system and Medicaid, their lack of support for their poor, and their increasingly deranged stances on gun control, and their “heartless” and “pointless” immigration policies.

It’s quite possible that we’ll see a steady erosion of support for Trump as we experience things like:

• A growing consensus, even among the most gullible and poorly educated, that our planet is headed for environmental collapse, and that this catastrophe is actually being hastened by the U.S. president and his corrupt policies.

• Severe economic hardship brought on by Trump’s tariffs/trade wars.

• The accelerated transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich, including booting an estimated 13.7 million people off healthcare.

• Growing proof that the president is a pedophile.

I understand that there are people who think this is impossible, because, as they explain, “Trump always wins.” Keep in mind that everyone is undefeated . . . until they lose their first match.
