I mentioned that I was a very loyal Democrat and changed. What about others who also changed?

[Mac1958]

I’m not a Democrat, you dumb MAGA moron.

In their world, either you're a cultist or a commie.

That's as deep as they get. That's it.

You voted for Biden/Harris, so which one are you?

 

[Robert W]

This isn't news. When the Democrats and Republicans switched sides on the segregation issue, that caused a lot of Democrats to become Republicans.

And it didn't all happen immediately. For some people, it took years before their love of segregation won out over their traditional loyalty to Democrats.

They did not ever switch sides. Many liars claim it was super fast. It simply did not happen at all. In my case, the truth is it was the screwing Carter gave us that got me to think I was in the wrong party and it was very near 1980 and not way back in the 60s.

Sorry but I do not engage in gutter talk. I did not say you are a Democrat. Read my actual words when you want to see what I actually said.

 

[Robert W]

Sure you were.

I am not happy I spent decades as a loyal Democrat.

 

[cnm]

Funny but today the Democrats are totally in love with the British who still have kings and queens. They love authoritarians is apparently why,.

Oh, is that what it is? TIL

 

[cnm]

Okay lying jerk weed when did the GOP have state supported separate lunch counters, sitting in the back of the bus, literacy tests etc?

Those were slave state crackers then, they're still slave state crackers now. They were supported and enabled by the Northern states, until their excesses were dragged to crawl post war.

When I registered to vote for the first time in Texas a LONG time ago, the clerk just automatically stamped my voter registration DEMOCRAT. I suppose had I objected, she would have changed it of course, but it was just what Texans, at least in that part of the world, were at that time. Everybody were Democrats and, while we didn't think badly of Republicans, they just didn't factor into the system.

Being a Democrat was a noble thing then. You cared enough to register to vote and you voted for responsible, efficient, effective government that served the people instead of themselves.

But I was also well educated by competent educators in the principles and ethics of good journalism AND good government. And I was aware when all that began to be compromised or ignored. And gradually I came to understand that the Republicans, while they could also be self serving, were supporting concepts, ideals, practical solutions that I believed in. The Democrats not so much. Watching how affirmative action and the promotion of the ERA were causing more problems than solved, and especially observing the inhumanity, futility, and terrible waste and carnage of Vietnam, I made the intentional choice to leave the Democrat Party because it had first left me.

I've never looked back. Though the Republican Party has become something quite different than the smart and strong reformers of the Newt Gingrich era, it still represents the people most likely to support the intent of the Constitution and who don't want a sugar daddy government but rather a strong, free, secure, prosperous America where ALL Americans can reach for the options, choices, opportunities, prosperity of the American dream.

I consider myself Independent. But I will vote straight Republican ticket at all levels because I have witnessed first hand how destructive and unAmerican the Democrats have become.

I was raised in CA by Oklahoma parents whose parents came from Texas and also from Arkansas. They believed it was Hoover who caused the great depression. But I have intensely studied the great depression and no longer believe Hoover caused any of it. Hoover was virtually a clone of FDR if you study Hoover vs FDR. Gingrich was a super good Republican and so was Reagan. I studied GW Bush so much that I think he was also very good. Democrats smeared the man as did the press., But things he was accused of doing wrong are things he never did ever.

 

[debbiedowner]

I was also a Democrat during the anti war years and for a time the Democrats kept fooling me. They blamed the Vietnam war on Republicans. They lied then as well.

No, they did not lie about Vietnam. Who was the first President that put one of our military adviser's on the ground in Vietnam? Wasn't JFK or Johnson, although I hated Johnson for the escalation.

 

[Robert W]

Oh, is that what it is? TIL

Trump was wrong to have them as his guests. So is Biden.

Democrats and the press misunderestimated his strategery, eh?

 

[debbiedowner]

I’m not a Democrat, you dumb MAGA moron.

You see they believe if your not a maga you can't possibly be a republican. But we all know maga is really a separate party and not really republican. Maga has become an arm of Q.

 

[cnm]

Trump was wrong to have them as his guests.

Lol. Trump was their guest. One can see how much they liked it.

 

[cnm]

Trump was wrong to have them as his guests.

Is Trump also wrong to love autocrats?

 

[Magnus]

You don't believe that in the time of Jesus there were prostitutes? Why can you support the party that had many adulterers in their party. Kennedy was notorious as a womanizer. Johnson as well. Both presidents had sex with women they were not married to inside the white house that Clinton did as well.

By open you really mean inside a closed up Bus and talking to some other man. Yes porn people do sell sex so when one buys sex they wind up paying for the sex. Trump did not run Trump University. This myth is just more lying by Democrats.

Democrats have a huge amount of criminals they vote for so that is a fake way to denounce republicans. I will say this about Trump. HE talks in ways I despise. But I do not love presidents as do Democrats. They are in the Biden cult and he had sex with his teen daughter per her, he lied many times even about his own education and lies even lately saying he went by train over the fallen bridge at Baltimore. He simply can't stop lying.

Biden does not even pretend to be a Christian.

I also mentioned Trump's looting charities, cheating students, stiffing his sub-contractors, trying to overturn the election results etc etc.

Let me guess, that too is acceptable to the modern-day Republicans, eh?

I can remember one of my grandparents saying they voted for FDR because of Prohibition FDR being 'wet' Hoover being 'dry'. that was a major factor as well.
BTW in 1920 FDR ran for VP but he wanted Hoover to run as the Democratic candidate.

Advisors are teachers. I learned at the presidents library for Nixon the truth of all of that. Japan had conquered Vietnam and FDR wanted them to get rid of the Japanese and become an independent country. Truman was kept in the dark by FDR in many many things. FDR did not even tell Truman about the nuclear program.

I was in the Army when we had Advisers teaching the Vietnamese. I got a lot of stuff told to us by our own Stars and Stripes. Johnson is the first president to charge in with actual combat troops and it was not Kennedy that did it. Some claim it was Ike. But Ike was told by Truman what the plans were and Truman got the ball rolling to work hard to defeat North Vietnam.

If I said that about any Democrat, you would retort for me to prove it happened.

Where is your proof? You seem not to even know the truth about the so called Trump university.

For a moment, you are now a Billionaire. And you own some and parts of other firms. How much time do you have as a Billionaire has to manage hundreds of firms?

Do you always believe the press?
