My parents were old fashioned, conservative Democrats I was an old fashioned, conservative democrat. I was so angered by Jimmy Carter, I voted for Reagan, and never again, have I voted for a rat 🐀
My father was a liberal Democrat (although cynical about all politicians). He would be turning over in his grave if he could see what his party had turned into.
My parents were among the original members of the #Jexodus movement. They switched parties around the same time Pres Reagan did, and for the same reason. They didn’t leave the party, the party left them.
