    It’s a progression, though. They turned up the heat slowly so people wouldn’t notice how they’re being boiled alive. Romney isn’t a Tea Party/MAGAt like the rest, but he had no problem catering to them during his 2012 bid for the Presidency and he was part of the establishment that paved the way for the extremists. He can afford to distance himself now that he’s retiring, but he didn’t listen when we warned about the rise of extremism in his party. It’s too late to earn our respect for acknowledging it now.

      This is like the same logic republicans use to say abortion is just a gateway to death councils for grandma.

      Don’t make false equivalencies when you don’t want them made against your party. Each party has a nuance of plurality in members.
