The Republican Party used to be highly principled and an important part of our democracy. But now they seem to favor various conspiracy theories, favor insurrection and even oppose the very idea of democracy. That is why I was hopeful that the party could be saved as a valuable part of our democracy when a group of Republicans called “for the Republican Party to rededicate itself to founding ideals—or else hasten the creation of an alternative.” (see Save the Republican Party).

It has been several months now and I have not seen any progress. It could be happening behind the scenes but still it is very discouraging.
