A musician in one of my bands is a Republican. Most are. I try to keep politics an arms length from SRV, but we talked a bit about whats his name in the Oval Office. I asked him if he would vote for tRump again and he said God no. He said that around conservative Republicans, he would be an outcast. He believes in much, not all, of Republican ideology, and believes that whats his name has done some good things, which is more than I could say. As is usually the case with many of us, he grew up in a Republican household, so hes Republican. As a side note, my father was a die hard Republican, a thought that never crossed my mind.
The point is, hes in his mid 30s and hopefully represents a newer generation of voters. He likes what the party stands for, but is appalled at the daily dose of BS coming out of tRump and his band of gypsies. (Oh Firestorm, you sly dog - slipping in a band name)
Maybe theres hope in the younger generation. One can only hope.

And any so called good things the party claims to stand for, like freedom and liberty, are exactly the opposite of what they really stand for. Anti choice is not freedom. Liberty and Patriotism requires one to also be horrified that a foreign adversary hacked our elections and placed a proxy president for putin in its place, and ensure that we hold them accountable. Law and Order would actually require republican politicians to uphold the law themselves, while many of them act in a corrupt manner, shirking the rule of law.
Religion and terrorism is weaponized, while they twist their own interpretation of religion to justify their immoral values & behavior. They don't live, believe, or practice what they preach. Its a facade as a means to an end.
