Good riddance.

Your post gives a clue as to why this may be happening.
When you demonize the opponent with false smears and hateful rhetoric and all the while embrace absolutely nutty positions on issues (abortion on demand with no restrictions, allowing biological males to compete against women, restricting speech, defunding the police, etc.), expect reasonable people to run away from you. Now, you might say that ALL Democrats don't embrace the positions listed - but how many Democrats have spoken out against them?

Well said.

Your characterization of what democrats support is crazytown. It just doesn’t exist except on the fringes.

The republicans are the ones banning books, the definition of restricting speech. The Democrats are the ones trying to increase police funding. There are no “Post-birth abortions”

Your presidential candidate led an attempted insurrection (in which police were attacked and injured severely) and lies constantly. Who knows where he actually stands on abortion, we know he delivered on getting rid of RvW and we know he will say whatever it takes to get himself elected because literally the only thing or person he cares about is himself.

I believe in two strong parties working towards compromise. The current republican party sees compromise as a dirty word because they think it gives their side a disadvantage in elections. See bipartisan border bill.

hence my question above yours

sold their souls to satan...for what exactly?

Blackmail? Maybe they have some really great dirt and gave him an ultimatum switch or we expose you.
Bribery? Maybe they paid him handsomely to switch.

On the flip side, Democrats sometimes seem less like the party of human rights and science, and more like the rich guy who bought the rights to Human Rights™ and Science™ because it markets well. Kind of like what Musk did with Twitter, but in a less out-in-the-open way.

Huh?

The democrats are more technocrats and believe in the social sciences, environmental sciences, medical sciences and physical sciences when it comes to making policy. Certainly more the "feelings" that is MAGA.

They really aren’t. They’re getting the people who are susceptible to propaganda and disinformation.

Again, they love the uneducated.

So all Dems are complicit because they haven't spoken out enough?

How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's corruption (crypto scams, being gifted private luxury jets, pay-to-play access at Mar-A-Lago, racking up millions in excessive charges on taxpayer-funded golf trips to his own properties, Trump Hotel and other emoluments)?

By your logic you endorse third world banana-republic style corruption, because we don't hear you speaking out against it.

How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's trampling of Constitutional protections and habeas corpus by having gangs of masked thugs who refuse to identify themselves kidnapping, or attempting to kidnap people off of American streets (including in some cases citizens with Real ID and people with legal status to be in the US) and shipping them off to concentration camps and places like war-torn southern Sudan, without due process? What if it were you or one of your family members, and before you say "oh but they couldn't do that to ME because I'm a citizen!" it actually very well could be since they are suspending due process and normal means of recourse and are lying outright, "we think your Real ID is fake!"

By your logic you endorse stripping people of constitutional rights and due process, including citizens, because we don't hear you speaking out against it.

How many Republicans have spoken up about Trump's fiscal policies - how his tax cuts will add three trillion to the debt and make billionaires who don't need the money richer as it piles more burden on the working class, while also cutting medicare and other things that the elderly, disabled and other Americans depend on? While cutting the VA which millions of veterans depend on? While cutting SNAP which tens of millions of low-income families depend on? While cutting scientific research and other strategic investments that have made the US a world leader? While gutting our entire system of soft power abroad, leaving power vacuums around the globe for China, Russia and other people who would gladly see the US crushed and burning?

By your logic, you fully and whole heartedly endorse every single piece of this, because we don't hear you speaking out against it.

How many Republicans have spoken up about Project 2025? And before you say "that's not a thing and Trump has nothing to do with it" that's already been proven false. Of the 313 agenda items laid out in Project 2025, as of now, end of May, 98 have already been implemented, and 68 are currently in progress. How many Republicans have spoken up about the utter chaos of Trump's dysfunctional and disorganized and contradictory tariff policies and how those have roiled the markets and are costing American businesses countless billions?

I could go on and on and on with all of the bad policies that Republicans have been silent on and by your logic you fully endorse every last bit of it - because as a bloc, Republicans are to afraid and too cowardly to admit even the most glaring of inconvenient truths about Trump.

+1 google “ancestral Democrats.” Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who refused to perform gay marriages, was elected as a Democrat.

Kinda shows how unpopular the Democrats' ideas and policies were/are for the Republicans/Trump to win the presidency.
