Where did all those traditional Republicans go?
It’s a bit like my southerner friends with Battle Flag bumperstickers calling themselves members of the party of Lincoln.
- api 6y agoSame place as the sorts of Democrats who want infrastructure projects and moon shots: they're not getting elected. A Qanon nut just beat out a former neurosurgeon in a Republican primary in Georgia. We do in fact live in a democracy. It's a dysfunctional one, but it is one. The people get what the people elect. P.S. In many ways primaries are more critical than main elections. This is particularly true in states that lean strongly toward one party or the other. In that case the primary is the election.
