Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
@Houhusky If my perception is wrong, please correct me. But over the last 4 years it seems to me you started this conversation on the left side of the aisle. Now you seem to be in favor of DJT, or at least calling out the idiocy and hypocrisy of the DNC.
If my perception is correct, what compelled the #walkaway? What was the final straw?
TIA

maybe you are thinking of @HoustonHusky ?
I did grow up an anti-gun, anti-religion, leftist. I had never shot a gun, never gone to church except for going a few times with girls I wanted to bang, and had never voted for a republican. My parents are well educated, A-religious, low-middle class, from a TUFF liberal family.
The first spark for me was watching my fellow leftist/"libertarians" (we were all so young and so stupid) that universally hated Bush and called him a dictator literally cry with joy when Obama was elected.
People who had talked about how judging people by their skin color was evil, all religions were idiotic cults, and the president is essentially a dictator were the same people overjoyed at Obama's skin color, crying during his sermon like preaching's on the oceans stopping their rise and the planet starting to heal... When I saw that universal public display of social virtue, indistinguishable from religious, I figured I should do some reading.
It was a long road to get to 2016 sitting in the parking lot of the voting place and deciding who I would vote for.

Great post. I evolved much the same way growing up in an @DNC household and swinging to the right when I heeded the advice to actually have an open mind. Not what the left intended by that mantra, but still ....
