It’s great to finally see this happen but we should all be wary of “good” political news. The headline only says “dozens” of republicans after all. A trolling brigade tactic is to get people thinking “Harris is going to win by such a landslide I don’t even have to vote”
I think it’s the camel’s back that breaks. Loading straw on top, straw by straw, it’s that one that’s the tipping point of what it can carry.
I’m wondering the same. They did something similar 8 years ago, didn’t they? George Conway? Or was that 2020? At what point do they just start another conservative party and jettison this one.
If I had to guess, considering what Republicans are like, I would say spite. I believe that in their own minds, they’re not voting for Harris; they’re voting against Trump. While there are plenty of Democrats and Independents who will also vote against Trump by voting for Harris, like myself, the reasons for doing so are dramatically different when it’s hard R Republicans doing it.
So, what broke the straw on the camels back? Seems really odd this actually happened (not that I’m complaining)

It is a smart strategy to assume everything any Repub says is a lie or some sort of trick. If they had honestly and integrity they wouldn’t be Repubs.
