I was a democrat, because my parents were democrats. They were (and me too) conservative Democrats, and if they were alive today, there would be no room for them, in today’s democrat party. It was Jimmy Carter, that turned me around. I thought he was awful, and I have never voted for ANY democrat since. I don’t know anyone, who is more anti DNC, than me. 😀
I was raised by Missouri Republicans and we’re all pretty hard core anti-democrat.
My mom referred to every insect that got into pur house as a dirty Democrat!
Your political history is the same as mine.
