As an independent I hear you all loud and clear!! I am a recovering Republican and I’m embarrassed to say that. My eyes were pried wide open in 2015, but it took about a year before I became completely horrified by the rights words and actions. I still don’t identify as democrat, but I’m 100% pro democracy and anti fascist.

Good for you. He is pretty obvious. Welcome, to the “other side of his lies” life could be good again without him. 🇺🇸
If it’s true that Dems are tax and spend, let’s have a debate over that. Less negotiable are matters like the necessity of God on our public space, the banning of transgender people, and the importance of making sure that gay people know that they are second class citizens. I’m not remotely conservative, but I am old and a property owner, and I don’t want blood in the streets. When the evil of Trump is over, and a loyal opposition emerges that wants to talk about wallets instead of what’s in people’s pants…but who knows if that will ever happen.
