> The letter calls Trump “unfit to serve” and notes his “dangerous qualities,” including his coziness with “authoritarian leaders,” “contempt” for ethical and legal norms, and “chaotic national security decision-making.” As commander in chief, it says, Trump “promoted daily chaos in government, praised our enemies and undermined our allies, politicized the military and disparaged our veterans, prioritized his personal interest above American interests, and betrayed our values, democracy, and this country’s founding documents.” The letter goes on to condemn Trump’s incitement of the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
> Signatories include Republican national security officials who served in previous administrations—such as former Secretaries of Defense William Cohen and Chuck Hagel, former Bush Sr. official and World Bank President Robert Zoellick, and former CIA and FBI Director William Webster—as well as former members of Congress, including Barbara Comstock and Adam Kinzinger.
Country above party. I probably agree very little with these officials, but I’m glad that they’re sane enough to see how much of an existential threat Trump poses to America.

Note that it’s former GOP officials, not current.
Because most of the current GOP officials are spineless cowards who care more about their careers than democracy.
The only exceptions are politicians like Romney who are already on their way out.

Dear GOP. Fuck Trump over and reclaim your party. He’s old as shit anyway. It’s there for the taking

This doesn’t count the 100+ former Trump administration members that have come out against trump and/or endorsing Harris.

Will not matter. Any criticism of Trump, by definition makes you a RINO.
It’s insane how much this will not matter to MAGA. They will not listen to reason of any kind from any source.

He’s an imbecile. They try to white wash him, but it doesn’t take a genius to see he’s a moron.

They’re all ‘Never Trumper’ RINOs who lack loyalty and patriotism (according to Trump).

I HATE REPUBLICANS.
Oh, wait.

These are Republicans who see that MAGA has taken over and are destroying the party they were building up for minority rule. Keep in mind that we don’t care about them, we don’t welcome them, and we don’t condone them – what we care about is that they’re giving Republican voters a permission structure to vote against Trump and MAGA.
This is either going to be the last flailing of the old-school GOP before it dies, or it’ll be the first step towards breaking “conservatives” between the Republican Party and the MAGA Party.

Sure would be nice if they were judges, and election officials.

If news like this motivates even a few percent of Republicans or Republican-leaning independent voters to either not vote or vote for Harris, that’s a huge deal in swing states where the margins are so close.
In any event, it will be close. We have lots of power to save freedom and democracy if we put in the work. Donate blue, volunteer blue, recheck your voter registration, and then enthusiastically vote blue with friends! 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

Great news! Unfortunately all MAGA will only see this as a list of “deep state” “establishment” politicians who are scared of Trump. Their level of metal gymnastics is really Olympic.

It’s great some of them realize they have a boat anchor attached to their party.

I know he’s running on the republican ticket. But I find it difficult to consider Trump or his followers ‘republican.’

You can be conservative and at the same time be fully against someone who was twice impeached, civilly liable for fraud, civilly liable for SA, convicted of election crimes, and charged with crimes under the espionage act and for attempting to overthrow the government. People know that right? Like you can uphold your values and opinions that lean right but be firmly against trump. I feel like a lot of these conservatives are struggling with this concept.

It is truly surprising how few that is. When conservatives like George Will left the GOP in 2016 upon a Trump nomination, it would seem that many more senior conservatives would join the rank to rid Trump from their party. He is not conservative and this country needs a healthy Conservative Party.
