And a Hippy Chick shall lead them...

[Epoch Times] Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) announced on Oct. 11 that she’s leaving the Democrat Party.

In two videos, Gabbard said the move is driven in part by President Joe Biden and his administration not responding after activists started protesting outside the homes of Supreme Court justices before and after the court struck down Roe v. Wade.

Federal law prohibits protesting outside the homes of judges with the intent to influence them, which is what many of the protesters have said is their intent. Gabbard compared that treatment with how the administration has been arresting pro-life activists for alleged violations of another law.

"When the party in power does not believe in the rule of law but they’re responsible for writing and enforcing laws, our democracy is doomed," Gabbard said. "Today’s Democratic Party does not believe in our constitutionally protected right to free speech."

"I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party. It’s now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoking anti-white racism, who actively worked to undermine our God-given freedoms enshrined in our Constitution, and who are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, who demonize the police who protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans who believe in open borders, who weaponize the national security state to go after their political opponents, and above all, are dragging us ever closer to nuclear war," Gabbard said in one of the videos.
One can hope that video goes viral, as they say.
Gabbard did not say whether she would join the Republican Party or alternatives such as the Forward Party, which 2020 Democrat candidate Andrew Yang helped form. But Gabbard did call on other Democrats to join her in departing the party.

#2 Well, she sure supported Bernie Sanders (two or three mansions? I forget).

Not saying she has to join the rotten, putrid GOP, either.

Even that weirdo Bill Maher said that he didn't leave the Dem party, the party left him.

So how many YEARS did it take her to figure this out?

I tend to see it as.... Looking at a sinking Political ship, she jumps. Hoping she did so early enough to swim away and not get carried down with it.

#5 The Democrats’ push toward nuclear war was the last straw:

“… and above all, are dragging us ever closer to nuclear war," Gabbard said.

She doesn’t belong in the warmonger-neocon GOP.
She definitely belongs in the Trump GOP.

#6 I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party.

I'll consider joining tomorrow's Democratic Party, when they include ME in their power games.
