Another excellent thread. My dad was a lifelong Republican because he was a conservative—he valued order—but not a reactionary.

Today’s Republican Party is an existential threat to our citizens, our society, and the world. They must be removed from office. https://twitter.com/teri_kanefield/status/1169272865113272320">https://twitter.com/teri_kane...

This thread also justifies @tonydowler’s long insistence on continuing to call himself a conservative. It is possible to be both conservative—valuing order and institutions that help society function—while also being progressive, looking to make things better for all.
