Former Georgia Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan spoke at the Democratic National Convention urging Republicans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris due to the threats posed by President Trump. Despite agreeing that Trump is unfit for office, the author suggests abstaining from voting in the presidential race to show disapproval. The author believes that the policies of a potential Harris administration pose a greater threat to conservative beliefs than those of Trump. While Trump’s disregard for the rule of law is dangerous, a Democratic administration could implement harmful policies that would impact citizens’ rights. The author argues that Republicans who dislike Trump should work towards removing him from the party instead of voting for Harris. Trump’s base continues to support him, potentially leading to further influence within the Republican Party even after losses. The author sees the need for conservative alternatives to Trumpism within the party and believes that Republicans must decide the future path. Ultimately, the author emphasizes the importance of addressing the deeper issues in American politics rather than seeking a quick fix involving voting for Harris. America is seen as being stuck with Trump’s influence, requiring long-term efforts to overcome.
