Never Trump Warnings Go Unheard As GOP Remains Unchanged
Republicans and former Republicans gathered to express grave concerns about Donald Trump’s impact on American democracy, with speakers describing his movement as an “authoritarian-embracing cult” and an “existential threat.” Despite the dire warnings, the event drew a relatively small crowd, with few current Republican elected officials participating, highlighting the diminished political influence of the Never Trump movement. Nevertheless, some attendees expressed cautious optimism, pointing to a recent Supreme Court ruling and polling data as signs that Trump’s influence may be waning, and rooting for Democratic victories in the upcoming midterm elections.
