Don't believe you.

Yet another thing that makes people sick of the left. Constantly accusing people of lying because you don't like what they have to say.

The fact they can never provide accurate quotes when asked in this thread is notable.

The whole "nuclear family" concept is a relatively recent one, and I think it's done a lot more damage than good. In my grandparents' time, instead of the nuclear family, it was the more traditional extended family where multiple generations might all live in the same house, where it was more about "it takes a village" with family members right there helping each other out, where it was much easier for grandparents to take care of the kids while the parents were working, and so on. But with the nuclear family, it's just parents and kids, typically far flung and scattered around, for lack of grandparents to watch the kids they get shuttled off to the hands of strangers in some expensive childcare and so on.

DP. So, uh, you think the state should step in to raise kids or something? 😳

If that’s what Democrats stand for, no thank you.

[citation needed] - Exactly when did Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, Joe Biden, Hakeem Jeffries or any Democrat that matters ever say that families should be abolished and that all children should be raised by the state?

This must be the fourth or fifth post now where someone stated something along the lines of "I am no longer a Democrat because because of [insert false Republican propaganda strawman here]"

It seems like you aren’t following the point of this thread. It’s for people who identify as a republican to explain their views and yes that is going to include people who were formerly democrats. That’s literally what OP was asking to learn about - what persuaded them to become GOP. The fact that it’s hard for you to understand isn’t the point; they are sharing their own opinions.

It's not really explaining one's views when one says "I believe up is down and red is blue" and not being able to explain themselves when their views are exposed as counterfactual or contradictory.

Liberals always think they are the only ones knowledgeable and everyone else is misinformed even when people are trying to explain why they left the party. It’s exhausting. Maybe try listening and then you wouldn’t have a nominee that polls behind a convicted felon.

Ppl explain why they “left the party” and the reasons, to me, are insane. It’s all about money.

No one mentioned money in their responses. Your disagreement with their reasoning won’t impact their November votes.

Nor mine. So, I’m not sure why we should be so concerned about dialog and conversation. No one’s changing their mind.

So true. The extreme political left in this country wants to overthrow the Constitution and start anew. They are represented by none other than our current Vice President right now, who was the only person in the chamber wearing brown when Ukrainian Zelensky came to speak to Congress in 2022. She’s siding with the very people who were permitted to spray “Death to Amerikka” on the Marquis de Lafayette statue this weekend.

The survival of our country and our constitution is far more important to me than any single Supreme Court decision. The Supreme Court has tossed unresolved legal issues back to Congress on many occasions. If you are angry at any single decision, write to your failed Democratic representatives in Congress who have had single party rule multiple times in the last two decades but have failed to pass a law that expressly defines what is permitted legally in women’s healthcare.

I have come to the view that the extreme left is more of a threat to this country than the extreme right. Weirdly, the behavior of the extreme left has made me more sympathetic to the gun nutters than I’ve ever been in my life before. I’m still fiercely pro gun control, but I’ve never understood the reasoning of the 2A zealots before. I still don’t agree with them on everything, but I understand their position now. Nobody should be defenseless against the extreme left.

Do tell, how’s the extreme left threatening you or this country?

Actually I think a lot of people are not sure who to vote for this time around, or more likely, whether they just sit this one out entirely. Choosing between two elderly men with dementia is not a real choice.

Riots, inciting violence, suppression of speech, destruction of rigor in education, open borders, crime. And more.

I’m sorry, but anyone preaching “family values” while simultaneously supporting Trump is talking out of their ass.

Anyone who claims to support compassion for the elderly while supporting a Biden presidency is talking out of their ass. What he is going through is cruel.

I'm not going to convince any right wing republicans of anything, so I am just waiting for them to fool around and find out. Not sure they are going to like what's coming for them too, if a republican actually gets elected this time.

Well, you convinced me. Just to be safe, better vote for the guy who turns 78 this week.

Candidly, as a Democrat I was assured that the entire country would fail if Trump became president and that objectively did not happen.

They both have dementia. But you can’t claim to have compassion for the elderly and support this charade, particularly of Biden. It’s exploitation.

We did have a pandemic. And nationwide race riots. I dunno about you, but I didn't enjoy all that.

YOU are an idiot.

Yes, Trump set us on a course of not only failing but being owned by Putin. Biden had to fix everything Trump did. Ask our farmers you like food right?? Well gee between Trump's crap decisions 148% more farmers went bankrupt during his term.

Project 2025 have you read it doubt it and if you did you are too stupid to understand how horrifying it is??

Cause? No. Made exponentially worse because of his completely inept response? Hell yes.
