I know a few Democrats and they seem be apologizing for their party, explaining that they don't agree with it. Will they leave it? Not yet, they are in denial.
Dad was an FDR democrat, and didn’t understand that his political party was being radicalized. He and I had plenty of political “discussions” - ME: Dad, you had your own business-you thought taxes were too high, right? DAD: Right. ME: you’re pro-life, right? DAD: yes, abortion is murder. ME: You don’t want thee government taking your guns… DAD: They’re not gonna get my guns! ME: Dad, you’re a conservative. DAD: You’re full of sxxt.
The only media Dad had access to was the local Gannet-owned newspaper and local tv news, and he trusted them. He went to his grave believing the lies.
I had an uncle-same thing, but out of respect for his age and life experiences, I didn’t argue with him. He watched CNN and got his news from them. Listening to him, you’d think that Republicans were Nazis, which was sad because, like my father, he also fought in WWII, in the Pacific. Dad was behind the lines, mostly, but my uncle actually saw action- wounded at Guadalcanal, recovered and saw action at Bougainville.
He came home, married, also had a successful business and died just shy of being 102.
Like Dad, the only news he had was liberal. He went to his grave believing the lies, as well.
God, how I hate the liberal media….
