Even after his smear campaign against the validity of the 2020 election culminated in a deadly failed insurrection against the United States Capitol, former President Donald Trump continues to enjoy widespread adoration within the GOP, and is currently the favorite to win its presidential nomination in 2024, if he decides to run again.

While Trump's sycophants are certainly vocal, there are a handful of Republicans warning of the dangers posed by his recklessness. Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming has repeatedly emphasized Trump's responsibility for the Capitol Riots, as has Congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.


And in a recent CNN Town Hall featuring Americans of all parties, Republican Phil Heimlich warned that Trumpism poses an urgent threat to American democracy.

Heimlich told CNN's Don Lemon:

"I think the greatest danger to this country right now is Trumpism, more so than any policy, and if they're able to suppress the vote, whatever policy you care about, if they're able to attack our rule of law, and we become one of these countries like Turkey and others that have really become right-wing — be really dictatorships, it doesn't matter what you stand for. So I think all of us, Republicans and Democrats, have to make the decision we're going to put country ahead of party."

The discussion was convened in response to President Joe Biden's recent town hall on the network, where he addressed a range of issues, including the right to vote.

Heimlich also decried Republicans' attempts to absolve the party for its responsibility in the Capitol Riots, as well as dismissing the violence that day.

People agreed with Heimlich.



He's not the only one warning o the dangers imposed by Trump's Republican party.






Trump remains beloved by a majority of the party.

JB Pritzker Just Epically Trolled Pam Bondi With The Perfect Fake LinkedIn Profile

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker mocked former Attorney General Pam Bondi following President Donald Trump's dismissal of her by posting a fake LinkedIn profile with a clever Epstein files twist.

Trump himself is widely believed to be in the Epstein files—said to contain detailed lists of some of the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's most high-profile clients and enablers—and has rejected calls by his followers to release them, admonishing critics of Bondi, who recently concluded no such list exists, despite previously claiming the exact opposite.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

With the United States set to host the 2026 World Cup, a video out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is drawing attention for a very different reason: showing a man ripping apart an Iraqi soccer fan’s banner and telling them, “Don’t come to America.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.
