People like you and I were never fooled by Democrats, or at least I was never fooled by them. I have never voted for a Democrat.
Instead, I was fooled by the RINO Republicans, but they exposed themselves, to me, in Trump's first term. ππ
Sadly, they still fool some, even on this board, and that is why we keep getting these traitors presenting themselves as conservative, returned to Congress, insteasd of being primaried. π
Oh, occasionally they will vote as a real conservative would, but only to give some voters the pretense that they are true conservatives to continue receiving their votes.
They fooled me too, and exposed themselves when he threw his hat in the ring in 2015. That was a wake-up call. I vowed then that I would never hold my nose and vote for another RINO again, even if they had Jesus as a running mate. I held my nose and voted for McCain only because of Sarah Palin, and I held my nose for Romney. Sorry I voted for W twice because he's shown his true self since he's left office and cuddled up to the Clintons and Obamas. Freaking useful idiots, all of them.
