When I made the move from voting 'rat to voting R(INO) in 1994, it was because I made the conscious decision to sift all the facts and reject what was not true or did not work. I was excited that I had voted for a winner in Bill Clinton in 1992. By 1994, he and the rest of the 'rats were dead to me. I had obviously decided to stop letting myself be as the author says - bamboozled by the 'rats and media. It's simple really.
I’m proud of you, Friend! I hope someone comes up with a 12-step program to open the bamboozled minds.
I voted for Jimmy Carter in 1980. I believed all the predictions of doom if Ronald Reagan got in office.
By 1984, it was obvious the predictions were totally wrong. It was obvious the Democrats and media were lying. And I’ve voted GOP ever since (except I voted for the announced Democrat for AZ senator in 2010 & 2016 - No McCain, Never).
I suspect a lot of snowflakes in their 20s are about to spend 4+ years learning what Ronald Reagan taught me!
