I’ve stopped all GOP donations with Winred. Find races that matter and send directly to the candidates campaign. When the National recognizes what we want maybe we can revisit.

If the numbers look terrible in a couple months I may donate, but right now I’m irritated and unwilling to send more money except the few good candidates who care about actual outcomes.

The poor lady from the RNC told me her daughter’s husband convinced her to get the shots and she’s had soft tissue infections the last 5 months that started right after her second shot. I asked her why she wasn’t pushing for people to talk about the terrible side effect profile and the fact that they don’t work…… her answer was basically Republicans are better than Dems and we need better candidates. I told her I agreed but most of the reason the country is being torn apart is these ridiculous ideological pissing matches. If these shots were safe and effective there would be zero need for mandates - they would have worked. Same for masks. If the people opposed to the mandates would simply include the fact THEY DON’T WORK the country wouldn’t be getting torn apart by the perception they do work from an opposition opposed solely on the grounds “I’m not going to do what someone tells me to.” The truth is, nobody would need to mandate stuff that works. That’s the true basis for historical opposition to oppressive mandates. Even if the terrible side effect profile resulted in actual stopping of transmission the debate would be can you require young people to risk their lives to save old people. It’s beyond stupid, and highly suspicious, so many anti-mandate Republicans are flat out ignoring objective reality that masks don’t work, lockdowns don’t work, and the vaccines don’t work to stop or meaningfully “slow” the spread. Targeted protection isn’t the best approach because of ideology, it’s the only one that might actually work without destroying society.

Yes they kept money I thought was going to a candidate, did the monthly donations it the default. Stopped the monthly my husband too. Months later they restarted them!
