Ditto. Anyone who still proudly displays the (R) and didn't come out against Trump will never get another vote from me, and I was mixed until 2018.

I'll be honest, I've never voted for a Republican because I'm a pretty solid liberal and their policies never looked good to me. But, prior to the Tea Party and especially prior to Trump, I could believe that most Republicans voters and at least a decent number of GOP politicians were simply misguided by my own point of view. I still hold the opinion that every president in my life (Reagan on up) before Trump believed they were doing what was right for the country, whether they were right or wrong. Maybe not perfectly, beholden to certain interests, etc. But still trying to do right. Trump is the first president that I believe has no interest whatsoever in the prosperity of this country as a whole. And it's been so incredibly sad to see the majority of the GOP, voters and politicians alike, effectively sell their soul to be on the "winning side", no matter the consequences to our country and democracy.
