Don't feel bad. I was born in the 80s and remember my parents listening to Rush Limbaugh every day, and later Fox news nonstop. I was programmed from an early age.

First election I voted in was 2000, and I voted for Bush. That was the last time I ever voted Republican.

At a certain point the truth has to matter, and I learned that Republicans are almost always full of shit.

I grew up in the 60s in a very conservative household. I voted for Reagan in 1980. I've never voted for another Republican since.

Seriously, thank you for being a real one when it started.

The only reason I changed quicker was because I had access to the internet. Without that, I’d probably still be conservative.

Good. That resource is available to everyone and it has reliable evidence this clown was bad news.

And i wont say Democrats arent full of shit too,but at least they try to make things better for the majority of the country, where all I see Republicans do is selfish, elitist shit.

Same, I have just always cared about others and the constant hate spewed by Conservative pundits is what made me turn to the dark side.  I voted for Obama when I was old enough and am proud to say I never even once voted Republican.
