Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican lawmaker, explains at the Democratic
National Convention, why he will be voting for the Democratic presidential ticket.

And, he urges conservative Republicans who value law and order, and the
Democratic institutions, to do the same.

Kinsinger represents the dilemma of conservative Republicans, who were
repulsed by the lawless violence demonstrated by MAGA Republicans at the
rioting at the Capital Building. And Kinsinger is clear that he is convinced
that it was Donald Trump who inspired this lawless violence, against
an institution of American democracy.

Ridiculous. If he is voting the democratic tickets he is liberal or moderate.

I am trying to figure out what you are expressing.

"Ridiculous!" in reply to what, that I said?

And, as I have noted before, the word "liberal" is used in a number of different
ways (such as in a "liberal education"), and not simply as not-socialist or
not-communist.

I voted Republican for my local government. Guess that makes me a conservative.

You are avoiding the thrust of the initial post. Kinzinger gives a clear, concise explanation of the problem he sees with Trump. You, artfully evade that and try to slap a label on him. However, the assiduous reader will see that you have danced away specifics of Kinzinger's claim .

And this is where the entire argument falls apart. Trump explicitly instructed his supporters to do a peaceful protest.

His view is Trump invited violence when anyone with half a brain knows he didn’t.

It’s ridiculous to think that a conservative republican is even testifying at the dnc. He must ne a moderate or liberal republican. Makes no sense, is laughable.

I posted this article, because it is rather UNPRECEDENTED
that Republicans, who have a history of being for law and order,
and for strong democratic institutions, have come to believe
that the Democratic presidential ticket is better for democracy
in America, than the Republican ticket.

AND, that conservative Republicans who have arrived at this conclusion,
would be INVITED to speak at the Democratic National Convention.
Note that Kamala, in her recent DNC speech, welcomed members of
ALL political parties, to unite together and affirm the great ideals on
which America was built. It seems clear to me, that Kamala see Trump
as the problem, NOT conservative Republicans.

This does not indicate (as some MAGA Republicans think) that these
Republicans have abandoned law and order or being conservative.
Rather, it indicates how RADICAL Trump has become, in many of his
slogans and assertions. It it Trump, who has left the conservative
fold, and launched off on a journey of unsubstantiated conspiracy
theories, and slogans that historic tyrants have used.

It is Trump, who has moved radically to the right.
