As a trans person (and you can substitute pretty much any identity that is commonly understood to be marginalized and the point stands), there is no middle ground to be found working with republicans. I'm either allowed to exist, work, own property, access healthcare, etc., or I'm not. I'm either being discriminated against or I'm not. I'm not interested in compromise here.
I do not believe the majority of Republican politicians today are trying to improve the country. I think the majority are self-serving, self-interested, and corrupt. This isn't the party of George Bush—who I disagree with about virtually everything, but seemed genuinely interested in trying to do a good job. This is now the party of Donald Trump, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, James Comer, Ted Cruz, and so on. There is no equivalent to any of these characters on the left. There is no compromising with obviously bad-faith actors like this.
