A good majority of them have been silent for the most part in blaming or begrudging the hand that they believe was dealt to them by “the other(s)”. In Trump they finally found someone who they could” put to good use” in publicly validating who they are; what they believe in, what they want, wish and hope for. Valadao’s courageous act of putting country before party is commendable however he still remains a registered member and supporter of a political party that is filled with elected officials who have willingly worn a blindfold regarding the attack on our capital and the ongoing insurrection against our government and our institutions. This systematic and strategic insurrection continues to creep through every State in the Union, most especially in designated red States, with elected Republican Party senators and representatives voting for and passing laws designed to subvert people’s right to vote (a return to the days of Jim Crow), women’s rights (purported Christian activists ignoring and undermining the Constitution’s Separation of Churches and States), and continuing the nauseating promotion of Trump’s big lie of election fraud (ruled by election officials across the entire United States as well as our Courts that there was no fraud; Biden won, Trump lost). I find it very disturbing that Valadao continues to praise the leadership of McCarthy and champions Nunes as his mentor (aka AWOL Nunes) knowing that both “chose” to abdicate their pledge of allegiance to their country to pledge their allegiance to an autocratic narcissistic immoral now former president. They have willfully chosen to not honor their oath of office to serve and protect this nation against terrorists, foreign and domestic. The oath of office means nothing when it can be bought out by corporations or special interest groups and even be silenced out of fear of reprisal. Decisions of any government official holding office in actuality affects the lives of ALL THE PEOPLE not just their local constituency in their voting district and the political party they are affiliated with. That is why ALL POLITICAL OFFICE HOLDERS must be held accountable for not just when what they do is right but for when what they do is wrong. That is why honesty matters. That is why decency matters. That is why morality matters. That is why being Pro-Democracy matters. We the people of the United States…..United We Stand, Divided We Fall. THAT matters!

Trump was the greatest thing for Democrats in a long time. The funny thing is his loss will prove Trump destroyed the Republican party. Trump was the greatest thing for Democrats in a long time.
