GREENSBORO, N.C. — Republican delegates in North Carolina voted Saturday at their annual convention to censure Thom Tillis, the state’s senior U.S. senator, for backing LGBTQ+ rights, immigration and gun violence policies.
As Sen. Tillis has gained influence in Congress for his willingness to work across the aisle, his record of supporting some key policies has raised concerns among some state Republicans that the senator has strayed from conservative values. (Politico)
Let us, the ones who try so hard to try and find any common ground, UNDERSTAND, that this current crop of Fascist loving, Christian National leaning, Bigots, Racists/Anti-Law and Order, Cultists identifying as Republicans have no INTEREST, INTENT, or INTENTION of ever wanting, seeking, or garnering COMPROMISE. And while we are at it, let us, the us who still think democracy is the foundation of this nation, finally realize that remaining passive, remaining on the defense, remaining too Pollyanna-ish, thinking that sensible heads will triumph within the Authoritarian loving, Anti-Constitution treasonists, hypocritical, saving their own asses ONLY, Republican politicians will ever place country above their personal ambitions. MEH, maybe a handful of GOP politicians will step forward but way too little.
Senator Thom Tillis IS NOT A BASTION of decency, but he at least had tried to think beyond his own needs, and as the article states, WAY TOO CLEARLY, he has been punished for reaching out and realizing that maybe all Americans are equal.
To vote Republican, as I see it, is to say uncategorical, that you hate Democracy, hate the Constitution, and actually hate anyone who isn’t you!
