It’s quite comical who you think I am, since I’ve voted pretty straight party line for most of my 60+ years until the last election
The change I see in the Republican Party since the Tea Party takeover is horrific and it needs to lose
Until Trump I was a Republican

Those are contradictory statements. Is it the tea party that drove you away, or Trump? |

You're trying to have a conversation with an intellectual drunk who can't quite put his finger on exactly the what and how is, but floats generalized ideas explained by unverified labels. |

Trump took the Tea Party rhetoric and did a much better job of playing on the fears of people.
Now the Republican party is repeating the mistakes of the Goldwater era.
Those mistakes brought, in the next few terms, all the progressive evils that conservatives now rail about.
Few Americans have all extreme views, left or right, which is why things always come back towards the center. |

Your typical vague statement loaded with labels and memes that somehow are supposed to take the place of verification. |
