Bay Area Houston

BTW They are all white, male, Republicans on City Council which doesn’t really matter, but Council Member Chad Tressler has broken away from Trump.

I did not see that coming. League City Councilman Chad Tressler posted a long article condemning Trump and his party for leaving him. The last time he posted something this controversial was against his Council mate Justin Hicks who by the way is living a great life after resigning in disgrace from City Council. His post highlights the obvious about Trump, his socialist policies, economic disaster, tariffs, our relationship with our Allies, law and order (LOL), and more. It is a clear break ending with the old line of “I didn’t leave the party, the party left me” but also with basically “Both sides do it”.

Both sides don’t do it. We don’t tolerate candidates who make racist remarks, mock the disabled, call people petty names or tolerate those that do. Unlike the Republican Party the far left of the Democratic Party is kept in check. Their crazy ideas like the Green New Deal and Medicare for All cratered with little support from the Democrats. The craziest thing Biden did when in office was trying to pass college tuition forgiveness, which also died and rightfully so.

But Tressler’s party is Trump’s party and there is NOTHING conservative about it. Their crazy ideas have either become law via Congress like the Big Deficit Bill, or via Trump’s executive orders. Their economic policies are driving up our deficit, stressing our dollar. Their claim to being the party of law and order is laughable (Jan 6, ICE) They tolerate Trump’s lies every single fucking day and the republicans in Congress have lost their balls to keep him and his administration in check as the Constitution was designed to do. That is actually the problem. If Republicans in Congress had been doing their gdamn jobs the party wouldn’t be in this fucking mess.

But Tressler is making good points for breaking away, although a bit too late. Maybe other elected officials who are wanting to continue their political careers should do the same because with Trump in charge the Republican Party is about as popular as herpes at a hot tub party. Kudos to Councilman Tressler for breaking away.
