Since 2024, at least three other elected Republicans have left the party to become independents. Meanwhile, at least eight Democrats have left the party in the same time frame.

Most current republican policies are horribly unpopular, but it's still easier to be one, clearly. I think it's shameful to abandon decent values to become a conservative culture warrior.
