Reflections on Political Party Identity
Representative Eric Swalwell shares his experiences growing up in a Republican household and contrasts it with the current state of the Republican Party. He notes that his parents, traditional Reagan Republicans, struggle to recognize the party as it now promotes divisive culture issues and a corrupt approach to power. Swalwell suggests that many Republicans feel lost and disillusioned, unable to align with the radical shifts seen under contemporary leadership. This generational disconnect highlights a broader identity crisis within the party, as the values his parents held dear have seemingly been abandoned.
