But, it is amazing how one can grow, evolve, and change previously held opinions.  IMO, the fiscal choices of the Democrats are far less harmful to this country than the politics of the 1950's that the Republicans seem to favor.  The Democratic Party looks forward and the Republican look backward.  The Democratic Party has ideas and the Republicans complain but offer no actual alternatives.  

The authoritarian, Christian-nationalist bent of today's republican party should scare the hell over anyone who claims to be a patriot

Based on SSF post maybe it read wrong. You just don’t seem to have any conservative ideology at all. It’s just weird that you were ever a Republican. I’m not doubting you you, it just doesn’t seem to fit. People who quit a party don’t generally go all in for the other party. Like me. I really don’t identify with Republicans anymore, but I sure as hell don’t have any love for Democrats. Maybe you are the political version of a person who quit smoking.
