The Republican Party is no longer a political party — it's a loyalty operation for one man, and its members in Congress are now complicit in his criminality. I need you to say so publicly and act accordingly.
Look at the record. Congressional Republicans are nearly unanimous election deniers, still proclaiming Trump won in 2020. They've backed an immigration dragnet that has resulted in the murders of three U.S. citizens by ICE agents and deportations conducted without hearings. They've supported the abduction of a foreign leader, an undeclared war with Iran, and killing suspected drug smugglers on the high seas in violation of international law. They've cheered using the Justice Department to prosecute political opponents and defying federal court orders. This isn't a policy disagreement — it's organized lawlessness.
Republicans who pushed back — Bill Cassidy, Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney — were purged or driven out. Cassidy said it plainly in his concession speech: someone who controls others through levers of power is serving themselves, not the country. That's the party your Republican colleagues belong to now. I want to know where you stand. Silence is a choice, and right now it looks like complicity.
