I always leaned conservative, but would occasionally vote for a demon rat or an independent here and there, on a state/local level. No more. The party as a whole has shown their nasty, dangerous, insane, criminal behavior, and there is too much at stake. It would take complete and utter obliteration of the Democratic Party to convince me to ever vote anything other than straight-ticket Republican. Not only that, I’m motivated. Did not always vote in midterms or local elections. Dems really overplayed their hand, and have created a strong, motivated backlash, consisting of people you wouldn’t necessarily expect.
