I think what most of us in the middle want to see is people in the GOP standing up and calling out the bad actors in their party and bringing it back to center.

As an example, I freaking hate the woke crap, doxing, etc., that goes on with the left side. If Joe Blow business owner down the street is a racist jerk, who gives a crap? Let him live. As long as he isn't hurting anyone, he is allowed to be an a hole. That's just life in a free country. We don't have to all like each other, and we don't have to all be kind. Is it nice to be a kind person? Sure, it's how I choose to live, but my way isn't the only way. And that's what I find annoying about some of those on the left. They feel like everyone has to live their way, or else. Come to think of it, so to those on the far right too. So they share that one. lol

Our nation does not survive if we cannot find a way to keep the politics in the center, and shut down the extreme sides. Social media and the internet have completely destroyed our ability to do that. The only people who have voices are the extremes.

There was a time when good men on both sides would put aside the party, and stand unified for Country. That's what we need today. It is what Cheney and Kinzinger are doing. I'm a doggone registered Republican, and I freaking hate the current direction of the party.

I'm not saying that those people are "fascists." That's a strong word. However, I do believe that there are those in the party who are actual fascists, just like there are those in the Left who are actual communists. Still the far right checks many of the boxes on the "what it takes to be a fascist" checklist, and we should keep an eye on that. After all, the Germans didn't just wake up in a fascist regime one day. It's a process, one step at a time. I'd say those who deny that there was a coup attempt on January 6th, or who deny that the 2020 election was a fair election are teetering dangerously on that edge. Those are simply facts that any rational person should understand. The far right believing in the "big lie" is really terrifying.
