So right Keel. I wrote something similar on Facebook recently. Though I’ve never voted for a Republican candidate, I was never frightened about the outcome of an election. Generally two reasonable people were running and, though my views may have been more closely aligned with the Democratic candidate than with the Republican one, I felt safe with either one in office. No more. I’m terrified that either Trump or DeSantis will be the Republican candidate for president. Or someone just as bad. And our state legislature. What a disgrace! Where are the moderates indeed?

On point, Keel. The lack of those voices that you lament were those of what I called "Main Street Republicans". They were the ones that saw and improved local situations, be that the need for a new city park or county-wide library expansion. Now, it's all taking coup and braying about it. Let's hope the rising young voters make better choices than we have.
