Republicans who are on the fence because they feel they will be betraying their loyalty to the RNC they have supported and voted for all their lives, should not be afraid of change. The RNC you have today is not the RNC of 2016. The party is a MAGA party now... otherwise, the RNC, pre-2016 will not nominate twice impeached, and the 34-time convicted felon who boasted of assaulting women and does not shy away from saying he will break the law that he had broken several times. He has only survived because some in the SCOTUS have bent the rules to keep him afloat... RNC of Ronald Regan/John McCain will not nominate a candidate that allegedly instigated an insurrection. The party will not nominate a man who uses the most vile language you don't want to hear as a normal - decent human being. You will nominate a man who appointed members of his family into plum strategic positions with the sole aim of making money out of government (otherwise, Ivanka's husband will not be the Middle-East envoy, and all of a sudden floated several ventures with the Saudis worth billions six months after he left Trump's government); and rewarded loyalists with plum positions, an antithesis to the anti-cronyism stance in the US.
RNC used to be known as the Whig Party until 1856. The party changed during the civil rights era. RNC used to be the pro-abolition, anti-racism, anti-Jim Crow, anti-big government, anti-government telling what to do. At that time, the DNC was the pro-slavery, pro-racism/segregation and pro-Jim Crow party. The whole US South used to be BLUE states. The unfortunate thing is that both parties have switched positions on policy, and have always evolved throughout history. The DNC today is the party that fights against discrimination, racism, hate, and inequality. So, the US South that used to be all BLUE is now all RED.
So, if think your values no longer align with the RNC, do not feel obligated to vote for a convicted felon. RNC is now a MAGA party, otherwise, they will not nominate two Ivy Leaguers and billionaires/millionaires (the elitists) as their candidates. In contrast, the DNC has nominated a person who went to an HBCU and chose to work for the public legal system at the expense of earning mega bucks in a big corporate law firm, and the VP candidate, Tim Walz who is a former soldier, former teacher, former coach... these are two people who have been middle-class all their lives and know what it means to be an average American and will fight for many Americans care about not what the big bloated billionaires wants (the 1% of the 1%).
In the end, vote your conscience, there is so much at stake.
I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...
