Normal people don't have to be told that
-
Normal people aren't MAGA Republicans, and I clarified between republics and MAGA Republicans deliberately. It's time for Republicans to say No to Trump and take their party back next election - sit out or vote Harris this election and in a massive defeat MAGA will be destroyed and Republican party can be rebuilt on proper grounds again.

The problem is that their career would have been declared dead by political suicide by the time they got about halfway through even reading that sentence. Remember, many of these people represent districts that see all the bigotry and hatred and are saying "Yes, we want more of that.", and standing up to Trump has not gone well for virtually any prominent member of the party.
People have tried what you suggested, to varying degrees. Liz Cheney, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney. It hasn't ultimately led to a defeat of MAGA. All it's done is leave the door open for them to be replaced by people even crazier than they are.

The thing I find intriguing is what's going to happen when Trump is no longer around. It's such a cult of personality and he's the type of person to suck all the air out of a room. There is no one that will have that kind of impact and it will leave a huge vacuum when he's no longer around.

Honestly, in a nation whose founding is linked upon slavery & apartheid why do we want to keep a party whose ideological anchor is tied to those same chains ?
-
Republicans have been a cancer going back to Nixon and the southern strategy. There is nothing there to rebuild or redeem. The party and its ideology need to be utterly destroyed.

Meanwhile, Conservatives:

They're finally being honest about who and what they are. It's what their sexist and racist base want. Their base would vote for them if they dressed up in hooded robes emblazoned with red and black swastikas and burned crosses in the lawn of the Capital. They're trying to time down their honesty so that they don't alienate swing voters who might be turned off by the open expression of their sexism and racism and to reduce the risk of mobilizing those who find it abhorent.

Can you imagine not knowing Republicans are racist and sexist just because they talked about hiding it for a few months?
-
What they need is to give the typical con and, lol, "independents", a permission structure to continue to vote for Republicans. Everyone knows they are racists, but it's nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Good luck with that.
Literally a few articles above in my feed:

The fact that Republican leaders have to even "urge party members to avoid racist and sexist attacks against Harris" in the first place should tell you all you need to know about how deep the bigotry is embedded in the Republican party.
Notice how Democrats don't have to, for example, tell their party members not to use racial slurs when campaigning against Tim Scott.

Hey, so you know how when you hire a new female employee and the boss has to send out an email reminding everyone to resist being racist and sexist?
Yeah, neither do I. Probably because we don't hire Republicans.
-
LOL, they know their own, don't they?
HAHAHAHAHA
-
The dog whistles that they pack into their everyday speech was always racist and sexist but now that they have to say it to a woman of color, everyone can hear the whistle.
-
Also republicans:
-
Don't forget the part where they blame everyone else for "making" them do it, too.

“Well I’m already here drinking a Mountain Dew, might as well go all-in and drop some N-bombs”
Republicans, probably

(whisper "don't say the quiet parts out loud")

“We might need to stop saying the quiet part out loud for a few months guys” - the GOP right now
-
That headline again:
Republican leaders urge party to hold their breath until November
-
If only.

Years ago I predicted Republicans in their desperation to win and for lack of an actual popular platform would have to pivot further and further right, appealing to more extremists. This because Democrats effectively absorbed any decent policy platforms they once held. They are thus only holding on by 1) Lies, 2) Right-wing nut jobs, and 3) The Electoral College + Gerrymandering.
Now, they've forked themselves. If they try to put the brakes on appealing to racist sexist uneducated bigots, then they alienate those same people and it backfires for them. They've hitched their party to Trump and I'm loving it.
-
This is why they now openly embrace un-democratic and un-American views about how to run a government. If they seize power, they will do everything possible to have minority rule (theirs) encoded into the system they use to replace the American one.

Meth addicts urged not to do meth.

So, be normal and healthy, at least until Nov 6?
-
Subtext is about to become text, and I seriously hope it results in the backlash it deserves.
-
That's like urging a pig not to stink.
-
Supposedly she slept her way up the ranks. Wouldn't be surprised now a days, honestly. Not because she's Kamala, but society as a whole is chit tier.
-
You're on the Internet. Her entire career and accomplishments are public knowlegde. Stop being lazy and turn that "supposedly" into "confirmed" or "false" and stop letting dumbshits fill your head with bullshit.
-
How does this have anything to do with the post?
"Supposedly" Trump fingers his asshole. What's your point?
-
The, "sexist attacks".
