@stepfanie Don't see massive data breach of our PII on the list of promises. Was it in his campaign speeches?

I’m deeply questioning my decision to support the Republican Party after witnessing the persistent and dehumanizing attacks directed at me and my community by individuals who, despite hiding behind a veneer of respectability, openly harbor and amplify racist ideologies. I’ve tried to hold onto the belief that these voices represent a vocal minority, not the broader values of the party. But time and again, I am disheartened as accounts with massive followings—many of them wielding significant influence—parrot unhinged conspiracy theories and perpetuate overtly racist tropes without consequence.

This isn’t just about isolated comments or fringe behavior; it’s about a pattern that reveals an uncomfortable truth about the party’s failure to unequivocally reject bigotry. These attacks aren’t simply offensive—they are alienating to communities whose values, work ethic, and aspirations align with many conservative principles, yet find themselves consistently vilified.

The most troubling part is the normalization of this rhetoric by individuals who should be using their platforms to unite, not divide. It forces one to ask: Is this truly the exception, or is it a reflection of an undercurrent that the party is unwilling—or worse, uninterested—to confront? For a movement that claims to champion merit, individual dignity, and opportunity, it’s disheartening to see those ideals betrayed by voices that choose hate over inclusion.

If the Republican Party wants to grow, evolve, and truly represent a diverse and forward-thinking electorate, it must take a hard look at its blind spots and the voices it elevates. Without that reckoning, it risks alienating not just me, but countless others who once believed in its promise.

We've already experienced four years of Trump. They were completely aware of the candidate they were supporting so I have zero empathy. #FAFO

@Cryptofucius @DerrickEvans4WV @harryjsisson Sea of red? lol. You were looking at land, which can't vote. It was a very close race. Trump @ 49.9%, Harris @ 48.4%. No majority

@MilesPerHoward Yes! And this nut has been at this for *years*. It's an obsession

[Margaret Miley @margmiley]

@DonnaBroadus11 @Rick28232068 @asclepiasyriaca Yes the numbers are higher now. Contributing billions to SS & Medicare while not being able to use it. Not to mention the multi-billions in contributions to the economy doing jobs that Americans won't do

[Margaret Miley @margmiley]

@DonnaBroadus11 @Rick28232068 @asclepiasyriaca Catch up on reality here: https://t.co/6CZUkcJ6rn

@DonnaBroadus11 @Rick28232068 @asclepiasyriaca You realize that undocumented immigrants PAY INTO Social Security & Medicare, and DON'T draw from it, right?

[Margaret Miley @margmiley]

@bocavista2016 How many times has Trump called her names, including "vermin", a nazi reference?? Hey don't act like a nazi & maybe you won't be called one. Your VP candidate called him Hitler so what's good for the goose...

[Margaret Miley @margmiley]

@the_franster @Real_RobN @RudyGiuliani The Guiluani, who said "we just don't have the evidence"? That's the Guiliani that you're defending? The man is a desperate, disoriented, demented fool https://t.co/MXTUitvO24

[Margaret Miley @margmiley]

@Real_RobN And yet, they DIDN'T bring any evidence to the 62 court cases they filed. They all failed in court, including before Trump-appointed judges. Put up or shut up, MAGAs! The facts don't care about your feelings https://t.co/M89BLMEyjp

@JoeyMannarinoUS Climate change, with decades of evidence of it, they deny. But this they believe ! It's sad that the morons parading their weak science education get just as much right to vote as those of us taking our country's future seriously. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

[Margaret Miley @margmiley]

@KarenBadboards Yep. Climate change, with decades of evidence of it, they deny. But this they believe in! It's sad that the morons parading their weak science education get just as much right to vote as those of us taking our country's future seriously

@VSC3960 @LtGovNunez @ChristinaPushaw @DannyBurgessFL @PascoSheriff FYI. Yup. As we guessed, the TN Gov is slow-walking his response https://t.co/PLIkzE7Yxu

[Margaret Miley @margmiley]

@VSC3960 @LtGovNunez @ChristinaPushaw @DannyBurgessFL @PascoSheriff The governors call up the national guard, not the feds. NC Gov Cooper, in 9/27 briefing, thanked the National Guard for their help since 9/26. It's in his X feed. TN Governor Lee is not using his X feed for much, but he's GOP, so a slow response is typical.

@DShox1 LOL. Money has a way of changing unmoored people's outlooks. Tulsi Gabbard, for example. And the MAGA influencers, US citizens claiming to be patriots while on Russia's payroll. Silver's working for I-don't-believe-in-democracy, Peter Thiel.

@MaryAnneRachal1 Wait'll you hear about Massachusetts cops raping minors. It's practically an epidemic
