Geoff Duncan joins the Democratic Party and wants you to believe it’s some kind of spiritual awakening. Not just a policy shift. A soul-cleansing. He says he struggled to “love his neighbor” as a Republican. That is not satire. He actually said that.

You read that right. A man who held statewide office, who enjoyed the perks and power of a red-state Republican administration, now claims he just could not square it with his conscience. Bless his heart.
“My journey to becoming a Democrat started well before Donald Trump tried to steal the 2020 election in Georgia,” Duncan wrote in the newspaper.
“There’s no date on a calendar or line in the sand that points to the exact moment in time my political heart changed, but it has,” he continued. “My decision was centered around my daily struggle to love my neighbor, as a Republican.” – Fox News
Duncan wrote an op-ed filled with clichés and finger-wagging. He scolded Republicans for “losing their moral compass” and said the party has drifted from what he considers real compassion. His proof? Health care costs. Food insecurity. Guns. Immigration. All the usual suspects. If you didn’t know better, you’d think he just discovered the DNC website and started copying talking points.
Duncan pointed to several policy issues that played a part in his decision to change parties, criticizing Republicans for their handling of issues such as health care, Medicaid, gun safety, immigration and how to help poor people.
He said his time in office taught him the best way to “love my neighbor” is through public policy. Before his time as lieutenant governor, he served in the Georgia House from 2013 until 2017. He opted not to run for re-election as lieutenant governor in 2022. – Fox News
Let’s start with healthcare. Duncan blames Republicans for people being uninsured. He says hard-working Georgians still can’t afford coverage. I would like to personally welcome him to 2025, where the insurance market is still recovering from the disaster of Obamacare. Democrats promised affordable care. They gave us bloated premiums, fewer choices, and endless red tape. But sure, Geoff. Tell me again how loving your neighbor means voting blue.
He also mentions food insecurity and Medicaid as moral failures. He doesn’t mention that entitlement programs exploded under Democrat rule. Or that inflation crushed working-class families while Democrats threw money at every activist cause they could find. But Duncan wants you to believe the real injustice is that Republicans are stingy with taxpayer dollars. Maybe he forgot how state budgets work. Maybe he never really paid attention.
And then there’s his immigration sermon. Duncan said Trump-era deportation policies were a lesson on how not to love your neighbor. Really? Because prioritizing border security and deporting violent criminals is somehow unloving? He says we should deport felons but offer a path to citizenship for others. That’s precisely what Trump said: secure the border, remove the bad actors, and fix the broken system. So what is Duncan actually offering here? A recycled press release with a rosier tone?
I don’t know, maybe Duncan was talking about the Jasmine Crockett form of compassion? If this is the party he wants to join, allow me to slam the door on his backside. Bye!

It’s not shocking that Geoff Duncan’s decision to join the Democratic Party comes wrapped in moral posturing.
Duncan wants to sound compassionate while pretending his ideas are fresh. They’re not. They’re just softer ways to say what Republicans have said for years, without giving the GOP any credit for saying it first.
Duncan calls it a spiritual awakening. What it really looks like is political cover for a guy who clearly misjudged his moment. He didn’t leave the Republican Party. The voters left him. He knew he couldn’t win re-election and wisely bowed out in 2022. Now he’s clutching for applause from the very crowd that once labeled him a threat to democracy. That’s not courage. That’s loser energy wrapped in self-righteous spin.
Duncan says he wants to turn “chaos into conversation.” What does that even mean? We’re supposed to step back into the chaos of a Biden administration and just talk about it? Might as well hold hands and sing while everything falls apart.
Remember, Duncan didn’t just wander off from the GOP. He was kicked out. The Georgia Republican Party expelled him after he endorsed Joe Biden in the 2024 election. Then he doubled down by backing Kamala Harris when Biden dropped out. This is the same Kamala Harris who was handed the nomination without winning a single primary and then went on to fumble every major issue she touched. But sure Geoff, preach to us about principles.
None of this is breaking news. Duncan’s been inching left for years. He took swipes at fellow Republicans like Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and Senate candidate Herschel Walker. He showed up at the Democratic National Convention to clap for Kamala Harris. It’s all old hat, but the media still treats it like a profile in courage. Really, it’s just the last predictable move in a slow-motion flounce.
What on earth is he hoping to accomplish? Is he trying to become the next Tim Walz, a bland, out-of-touch sidekick riding along toward 2028? He’s not positioning himself as a leader. He’s auditioning to be a forgettable footnote in someone else’s campaign. I mean, really, switching parties after the door has shut? It doesn’t scream vision; it’s more like screams of desperation.
The Democrats love these moments. They parade out disgruntled former Republicans like they’re trophies. Look, they say, even conservatives are seeing the light. Never mind that most of these “converts” haven’t won a primary in years. Never mind that the base has already moved on. The narrative matters more than the truth.
Loving your neighbor isn’t a partisan issue, and it certainly isn’t something that gets legislated. It is a commandment, one that is lived out through action like feeding the hungry, helping the poor, and serving the vulnerable. None of that requires a bloated government program or a change in party registration. Crack open a Bible sometime, Geoff. You won’t find join the Democrats in red letters.
Republicans love their neighbors just fine. They do it through churches, charities, and community, not government overreach. They believe in empowering individuals, not bloating bureaucracies. If that makes Duncan uncomfortable, he should admit the truth. He didn’t get more spiritual. He got more progressive.
The media wants you to believe Geoff Duncan joins the Democratic Party out of principle. What they won’t say is that it looks a lot more like damage control.
The only thing more forgettable than his party switch is his time in office. So go ahead, Geoff. Enjoy your spiritual journey. The rest of us will be over here defending what matters.

Wfjag says: My first thought was that he was angling for a spot on CNN. It’s pretty heavily based in Atlanta. However, it seems to be an organization that’s in the downsizing stage of Circling The Drain that looking for “new talent”.
However, Hunter Biden is (he says) now employed. So, there’s probably some opportunity out there for Duncan.
Scott says: The only principle dims ha e is power at all costs..this dude is a buffoon..
