[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people in my circles who were “good Republicans” are no longer Republicans [/quote]

I have friends who are still Republicans and decent people. It seems to be cultural identity related to some degree as some  come from many generations of R and in another case, related to being evangelical Christians.

Many Latino immigrants are Republicans due to what they perceive to be better fit for their conservative values (I actually think Dem have way more family values in substance).

Others still perceive Republicans to be better choice for economic management although I do not agree.

We can’t just dismiss the integrity of millions of people who have different political views/ beliefs.[/quote]

Republicans, when elected, are not afraid to use the authority granted to them, fully and swiftly. That's what appeals to many. These voters know that the 2-3 things they care about (taxes, security etc) will be taken care of. They did not mind aligning with the far right out of convenience. Not sure where many of these voters stand today as they tend to be extremely transactional and a country that is slipping backward will threaten their prosperity and security.[/quote]

Yes but this post is about Republican friends not Republican politicians.

We need to keep talking. [/quote]
