I used to ‘vote blue no matter who.’ Here’s how the Democrats lost me.

--SNIP--

I left the Democratic Party because I could no longer deny its own authoritarian tendencies or its corrosive impact on our culture and public trust. Party activists have adopted an identitarian ideology that cultivates a noxious sense of grievance, entitlement, and nihilism, fueling divisiveness in everyday life as well as outbursts of political violence.

To win back voters like me, Democrats would have to be humble enough to actually learn from their mistakes so they can earn back the trust they’ve destroyed.

Though Trump’s own poll numbers remain underwater, Democrats’ numbers remain even worse, because they refuse to acknowledge or address the problems they’ve caused for everyone. Their COVID policies cost millions of people their livelihoods and educational opportunities, while their censorious approach to divergent views on the virus and mRNA technology shattered faith in public health officials.

I guess demons could win her trust if they just admitted their mistakes and promised to be just a little less demonic.

“Though Trump’s own poll numbers remain underwater...”

She still Wants to Believe.

There’s no doubt when she goes into the voting booth, she’ll hit the Dem straight ticket just like she always has.

President Trumps numbers are always going to poll lower. That's because respondents are afraid
of violence, arson, or vandalism. Democrats are evil. Killing a gentle man like Charlie Kirk
exemplifies that evil.

In the voting booth, that fear goes away.

It’s always comforting that crazy isn’t a terminal condition for all Democrats. Grateful for every one of them that comes to see the light, by whatever path they take to get there.

God knows who votes for abortionists. At least we don’t have that hanging over our heads when we pass on like this guy still has, unless he repents and that’s if he even thinks to do so.
“Whoever gives me the most money” is what it came down to when one Dem told me as to why he votes for abortionist democrats, rather demonically I might add.

One of the major threats to this country are those completely-uninformed people who "vote Democrat because our family has always voted Democrat."

They have no idea what the Democrat party has become.

Case in point. Some people are "To Stupid To live", some people will take a ride to hell rather then admit they are wrong. Some people will double down on their hate filled ignorance even when shown irrefutable proof they are wrong.

So what does the left do? It seems that even in concession, always, ALWAYS they lie. They will vilify any one they can, they will demonize anyone who is not overawed, who is not cowed by them by making false statements about anyone, lying spreading vicious rumors and innuendos. Their sick minds set never really get repaired or return to normal they just sink in to a lower level of hate and ignorance. ready re-erupt at any moment.

That's how those dumbasses (including too many of my relatives in PA) got us into this mess.

Writer is an embodiment of a brainwashed automaton. She has already shown her inability to reason logically. If one is a cogent, rational being, one doesn’t do any action “no matter what”. Gonna’ take the rest of her life to prove she has changed her mindset

Arrogant pride and an evil dark satanic core will never change.

“I guess demons could win her trust if they just admitted their mistakes and promised to be just a little less demonic.”

My thoughts are along those lines as well. I’ve seen very few people in my long life who truly changed from bad to better. Mostly, they just pretended to be better people until whatever was happening blew over. Then, back to whatever evil they were up to before. Once I’ve seen someone do something evil, I write them out of my life. It’s not worth the risk of betrayal of keeping them in your life and hoping they don’t do something bad again. Abusive people follow the hurt you, apologize, hurt you pattern. I won’t play their game.
