(13,029 posts)For voting for Republican presidents 5 times? And probably for Republican senators, congressmen, governors, state legislators and school board members without fail for that span of 20 years? And who wants to bet that he wasn't disparaging and insulting Democratic candidates and liberals in general, and repeating Fox News lies the whole time? It's this guy and lots of people just like him who have allowed the Republicans to do what they've done ever since 1980. And he's just now figured out what they're about? What's far more likely is that he was finally affected personally by the Rpublican Party's viciously anti-99% policies, and that if he hadn't, he'd be just as virulently conservative and disparaging of people who had been as ever.
Just shut the fuck up and vote the right way. Don't strut around like you have something to be proud of for finally figuring out what some of us have known for 35 years..that the Republican Party is poison. You should be deeply ashamed of yourself for having supported them in any way at all. When you and those like you have undone all the harm your votes have done, then maybe you'll have the right to feel proud. But not before.
