Saving The Republican Party:

A Democrats Duty

This is an urgent call to all Democrats, sensible Republicans, and Independents. We have watched a troubling movement grow in our country under the banner of MAGA. Its influence over people is profound, often difficult to comprehend, yet clear: this ideology has entranced a large segment of Americans, only growing stronger and more extreme. Earlier this year, the Washington State Republican Party denounced democracy and the democratic process, embracing a mindset where the end justifies the means, no matter how divisive or harmful. Racism, hatred, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia and endless lies now form the foundation of this movement.

The following text, allegedly sent by the Republican Party, reveals in grotesque terms just how lost the party has become—seemingly without direction, fixated only on debasing our way of life and undermining the values we hold dear in America.

A two-party system is essential for a fully functioning government. Tension between parties keeps the system balanced and true, and we’ve seen good come from the balance between Democrats and Republicans. But now, the Republican Party has become destabilized from within, risking all of us being pulled down with it. I believe, unwaveringly, in Democratic values and the Democratic platform as a pathway to bring the greatest good to the American people. Yet I also know that, unchecked, even the best intentions can be easily misguided into extremism. We are witnessing extremism take hold within the Republican Party, a path that could lead us all into peril. We must support democracy, preserving the balance and respect that keeps our nation strong and resilient.

For Democrats and sensible Republicans and Independents, voting for Democratic candidates has become an absolute imperative. It’s clear that traditional Republicans—those who genuinely have our country’s best interests at heart, despite differing policy positions—have lost control of their party to a zealous faction intent on dismantling democracy and disrupting our way of life. The radical MAGA movement appears to have no end to its ambitions, with no clear goal beyond chaos and destruction for its own sake.

While Project 2025 may outline a strategy for rebuilding the country in this faction’s vision, the destructive tactics being used are unnecessary to achieve that. Winning an election alone would suffice, yet this movement seems driven by a relentless desire for chaos and the erosion of the very principles that uphold our democracy. It is critical to act now to prevent the continued rise of this dangerous ideology and to preserve the values that make our nation strong.

I have great confidence that we will prevail in the upcoming elections, but this will not mark the end of MAGA. Already, states like Florida and Texas are denying access to independent Department of Justice observers, signaling that efforts to undermine the 2020 election were merely a learning experience for MAGA.

This isn’t just politics; it’s personal. Would you allow anyone to harm you or a loved one in this way without rebuke? I would not, and I will not. Today, tomorrow, and every day forward, we must stand together.

If you ever think you’re too small to make a difference, think again. Hold your head high and don’t avert your gaze. Bravery doesn’t always mean bold gestures; it often lies in holding onto hope and standing firm in your beliefs.
