Today, Michigan Republican Congressman Paul Mitchell quit the party to become an independent, the second one in barely over a year, after Justin Amash did so last year. A second wave of Republicans is now defecting as they increasingly realize that the Republican Party ceased to be the party of Lincoln long ago.
Abraham Lincoln was a Northern Liberal. As the rest of the nation has reversed on social justice issues over the last 150 years, so also the original TRUE Republicans, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower, would not, today, recognize the racist, pro-Nazi, pro-KKKonfederate TrumpubliKKKon party of today.
And if you don’t believe the parties have reversed roles on racial and social justice, consider that it is the PARTY OF LINCOLN that has its supporters raising the Confederate flags that Lincoln literally waged a war to crush in humiliating defeat.
Today’s TrumpubliCON party is NOT your father’s Republican Party.

Not the party of Lincoln.
Not the party of Teddy Roosevelt.
Not the party of Eisenhower.
Not even the party of John McCain or Mitt Romney.
