My view is fuck democrats past, present, and future. Just a blanket fuck everything they ever cared about. Now I only have former democrats to vote for, finally acknowledged as former democrats, who want democrat but slower in the republican party. What baggage did you bring over when you switched party? Do you really think you completely changed? Or are you going to finish what you started with the people you hated before truly transitioning into "republican."
I watched Elon switch party, act like he bought it, and immediately start calling people who spent their lives voting republican renos that need to be removed because no infinijeets. Fastest turnaround yet. All I have seen from the republican party in my life is the equivalent of trannies invading a shelter for battered wives on repeat. It gets harder to bother voting straight republican every year when I know the people I was voting against are now stuck in here with me. I know winning by inches is going to be shut down the moment it gets outside their tolerance, so voting at all just means I'm helping them get what they want. If you think that is not a problem, just wait until populism picks all the low hanging fruit. They will have to make hard decisions and you will see who now own the party.
