    People are leaving the Republican party in name, but 90% of them are still going to vote as conservatives (aka Republican), so really they’re just letting the extremists control the primaries so the ones that “left” can pretend to be moderate while still voting for racists and indirectly supporting their hateful rhetoric.

    Source: look at the fucking idiots like Joe Manchin, Lisa Murkowski, Liz Cheney, and Susan Collins. They can claim to be moderate all they want, but at the end of the day, they vote however the Republican leadership tells them to.
