Joe Walsh, a former Illinois GOP representative and Tea Party member, has shifted to the Democratic Party amidst concerns about the threats posed to democracy by the Trumpist faction. Walsh's reflections highlight a common sentiment among Never Trumpers that the Republican Party has strayed from its principles. He believes that a coalition of moderates, progressives, and conservatives is essential to protect democratic values. His commitment to aiding Democrats underscores the urgency he feels regarding the current political crisis.
To defeat my former party and defend democracy, we must assemble a broad coalition of moderates, progressives, and, yes, even conservatives.
For democracy and the rule of law to persevere, Democrats must succeed. I want to help.
