Arnold Schwarzenegger endorses Kamala Harris: ‘I will always be an American before I am a Republican’
The former Republican governor said that he was backing the Democrat because a Trump victory would mean ‘four more years of bullshit’
Wow, is this cycle doing some interesting things. I've never really much cared one way or the other about Schwarzenegger, but this impressed me, as it meets me where I am:
“I will always be an American before I am a Republican,” he wrote. “That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognise our country. And you are right to be furious.”
Democrats are the new Republicans now that the Republicans have been entirely consumed by the fascist ideology of Trump and Musk.
And they have the neoliberal policies to match!
The tent is getting bigger.
Added context for anyone who isn't aware, Schwarzenegger was the Republican governor of California from 2003 to 2011.

He won it in a Total Recall.
In Demolition man, they passed the 61st Amendment to allow him to be president. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Opportunity_to_Govern_Amendment#In_popular_culture

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time that Arnold has voted against his own party. Does someone else remember...?
He has. What he's not previously done is tell us that we're right to be furious. Perhaps there's meaning there.
I made the choice not to address his concerns.
Because they're irrelevant. I am furious, and my ex wife is a lousy reason to agree. What you instead end up with is your Swiss dad doing a hell of a lot of backpedaling. We have a bit more gold than we should.
