Tax breaks for the wealthy have been achieved. The poors remain poors. Perhaps he realized other than a path to fascism his party literally has nothing to offer. Nothing at all so why bother getting death threats.

It’s fairly certain he wouldn’t win his primary in his home district. Probably getting tired of all the threats too.

Part of his statement:
“In this day, to prevail or survive you must belong to a tribe — our political parties only survive by appealing to the most motivated and the most extreme elements within…and the price tag for power has skyrocketed, and fear and distrust has served as an effective strategy to meet that cost,” said Mr Kinzinger.
“We’ve allowed leaders to reach power selling the false premise that strength comes from degrading others and dehumanizing those that look, act or think differently than we do. As a country, we’ve fallen for those lies and now we face a poisoned country filled with outrage, blinding our ability to achieve real strength. It has become increasingly obvious to me that as a country, we must unplug from the mistruths we’ve been fed,” he said. “In Congress, I’ve witnessed how division is heavily rooted. There’s little to no desire to bridge our differences, and unity is no longer a word we use. It has also become increasingly obvious to me that in order to break the narrative, I cannot focus on both a reelection to Congress and a broader fight nationwide”.

Lofty words from someone who was an active player in the GOP during the years the groundwork was laid for MAGAism. Stuff it and just leave for whatever lucrative sinecure you’ve negotiated with the wingnut welfare machine.

Yep. I’d forgotten that he oozed into congress on the wart covered backs of the Tea Party angry white dudes movement.
So, yeah, maybe he is an asshole.

He’s in the process of losing his district due to re-districting after the census anyway. Illinois is doing some gerrymandering in the opposite direction, to lessen the number of solid Republican districts.

But at 104 years old he’ll only last a few minutes.
Fits in with their whole the only good Democrat line though.
