They also look at the core Democrat constituencies (screeching feminists, environmental whackos, victim-culture minorities, gay and lesbian condom throwers, welfare parasites, etc., etc., and ask themselves, "Why do I vote with these people?" These Democrats simply cannot bring themselves to admit that they and their families have been wrong for decades and have nearly destroyed this nation. Voting Republican would be too hard for many of them.
So instead they call themselves "libertarians" and try to assuage themselves by convincing themselves and others that "the Republicans are no better", etc. Mostly, they are harmless and end up stroking each other.
