MAGA furious over Mitt Romney saying he'd vote for Democrats
"It would be an upgrade from, in my opinion, Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden," the Republican senator said.

"Anybody. I would be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans, maybe not Vivek [Ramaswamy], but the others that are running would be acceptable to me. I would be happy to vote for them. I would be happy to vote for any of the Democrats too. I mean it would be an upgrade from, in my opinion, Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden," Romney said.
The senator added: "I like President Biden. I find him a very charming and engaging person, there's some places I agree with and most places I disagree with him. I think he made all sorts of terrible mistakes, but I would like to see someone else run."
Smart man. If I were a Republican, I’d probably say the same. He seems to see things right down the line. It’s a shame he didn’t manage to make it to become the 45th president; echoing his sentiment it, would have been a far greater alternative.
He's an actual traditional conservative, which isn't a republican anymore. But he has the freedom to say this because he's on his way out. If he was in the first half of his career, there's no way he'd be so up front.
That said, as someone who voted against him, it has been refreshing hearing him vocally go against Maga for years. But he has had the luxury because his seat in as head political Mormon in Mormon controlled State, and his status in the party as a former presidential nominee. He was never risking much besides being a target of MAGA domestic terrorism.
He's a fucking Mormon. Wtf is wrong with you?
The comparison is with trump. I might vote for a Scientologist if he’s my only other option.
Mormons are afaik relatively chill people even if some of their beliefs are a bit whack. I've met a few IRL, and that South Park episode fits my understanding of them pretty well. For the most part, I think they follow the actually good parts of the teachings of Christianity rather than going to the fucked up fundamental/GOP version of it.
One side of my extended family converted to the Latter-Day Saints. I've been to two Mormon weddings and even once went on a date with a Mormon lady who came from Texas.
They're chill people, 100%. In fact, they're probably the closest you'll get to traditional family values in today's society. Contrary to beliefs spread by shows like Family Guy, they don't believe in polygamy. They just don't like alcohol or caffeine.
