It's not like those 3 elected Trump. Do you think the election would have gone differently if they'd deregistered as Republican? It would be truly wonderful if it were that easy.
Perhaps I was unclear.
Today, right now, this very moment:
I agree that they should get around to changing their registration. But not having done that bit of admin is hardly what decides who's a fascist. Your "carrying water" criterion makes more sense and a party registration doesn't carry much water.
Retaining the party affiliation is carrying water for them. If it's just a "bit of admin," then there's nothing in the way of their doing it, is there?
You may disagree, and that's fine, but I am standing on this one. Anyone who still has an R by their name is a fascist.
Who cares what they did during the election if since then they've voted in basic lockstep with Republicans on the nominations.
None of the three I named have been in office for a while.
