Reagan's bread was buttered by the right wing once he married Nancy. It was more that than any kind of epiphany that he had.
Wish I could remember the 7 who pretty much did everything for Reagan. They everything for him from giving him the GE speech and the places to make it to managing his finances so he'd have no debt.

Both parties have corruption. Problem with Democrats though is they want to be involved in your life even more and it's IMO the one party that resembles a 1 World Government the most and that's when you start thinking biblical.

Let's see what you say when the election is reversed and all the dems responsible are standing trial.

The upcoming reversal of the coup and all of the criminal trials are going to be bitter pills for the dems to swallow. Most dems will simply bury their heads in the sand and refuse to even acknowledge reality. They will try to tell themselves that the coup never happened.

SOME democrats (the few honest ones left) will admit the facts and leave the party. The party itself may cease to exist, as it will be able to be declared a criminal terrorist organization and dismantled. Democrat political items may be as collectible as Whig Party items.

I don't expect this to materialize all that quickly -- inasmuch as Trump is every bit as much a manipulator and charlatan as the Democratic gangsters. The real question is whether enough reasonably well-educated voters can recognize and refute the class-warfare, snake-oil and outright lies fed to the loyal robots at the bottom of the economic dung-heap -- what was called the lumpenproletariat by German statecrafters -- and far in advance of the rise of the Nazis.

Does it matter? We don’t know you. If you don’t wanna be a liberal anymore, then be something else. Ehhhh...shrug.

Lol, that was my category. I was all over the map because I am a moderate independent. My politics seem at odds with each other but they are my core beliefs.
