I come from a long line of democrats who worked in the iron and steel mills of Pennsylvania and were democrats. They stood on union lines in the rain and snow, fighting to get good pay, rights and benefits for factory workers. The Democratic Party basically represented the average worker and the Republican Party was the party of the rich factory owners.
For half a century I was a registered democrat.
Then one day I realized the party of my ancestors had went totally batshit crazy. It no longer gave a crap about the average working man and if anything the people we elected to represent us in Congress were off selling their influence to the Chinese and other nations for large sums of money. The democrats no longer supported the capitalistic form of government which had made us the greatest nation in the world but instead were pushing Marxist socialism which has failed in many nations and led to the death of millions of people.
Democrats wanted to defund the police, let just arrested violent criminals back on the street without bail and even cheer on rioters who were busy looting and burning our cities to the ground in violent riots. They favored a wide open Mexican border and are probably getting a kickback from the Mexican drug cartels which are making a fortune smuggling drugs like fentanyl and charging illegal aliens a small fortune to be allowed to illegally enter our nation.
Now cities can’t find people to train as police to replace the officers who left in disgust as their cities refused to back them up. Crime is skyrocketing and the cops that remain in the blue cities are reactive not proactive. They arrive just in time to interview witnesses and put up crime scene tape but not in time to stop in process crime.
We now have a demented old fool as our Democrat President who has managed to reignite runaway inflation which has been missing for four decades. The stock market is falling like a rock and our President is begging foreign nations to produce more oil while stopping our own nation from filling the gap.
Now I am a registered republican and it will be a cold day in Hell before I vote for another democrat for any state or national office.
