Time's almost up! Sane US conservatives have 2weeks - maybe 4 - to gather courage, honor and decency to step up for their country and our children. (See how.) After that, there'll be nothing to salvage from the undead, gone-treasonous party of Lincoln.

There were >20 honorable Republican senators, during Watergate. Today there are (tepidly) 3. The 'decent wing' of the Republican Party has three weeks to stand up. By mid March it will be too late for any such mythical 'decent Republicans' to register to 'primary' treacherous/liar MAGAs politicians.
