[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband (white, native born) and I (black immigrant) were Democrats, but I’ve grown
disillusioned with the party for a host of reasons. I’m voting for Trump, and while DH is slightly leaning Harris, I’ve been wearing him down from where he was, which was strongly pro-Dem until recently.

It helps that DH is less political than I am, so he doesn’t feel as strongly on the issues. I couldn’t get along with someone on the opposite end of the spectrum who lives and breathes politics the way I do. [/quote]

I don’t believe a word of this post. This is a troll. [/quote]
PP here. People like you are one reason I’m done with Dems. The unmitigated gall of some of you to believe that no one who you consider your “base” could possibly disagree with you makes me want to slap someone. [/quote]
I’m with pp. I think that post is fiction — but not because I don’t think it could possibly be true. Something about the way it’s written is trying too hard.[/quote]
PP here. You can remain in denial. Makes no difference.[/quote]
It’s prudent not believe everything you read on the internet, especially anonymous posts.[/quote]
PP here. I understand that, but there’s a weirdly cultish form of denial that has taken over Democrats. I see it IRL too, because I was a diehard Obama and Hillary stan and most of my friends are still ultra liberal.  A lot of them have become every bit as lockstep, ultra partisan, and uncritical in their thinking as the Tea Party nuts turned MAGA we used to mock.

The Democrat version of cult thinking though comes with believing that every current or former Democrat who claims to dislike what the Democratic Party is doing must be a Russian bot or a far-right, Nazi-sympathizing, white nationalist troll stirring things up. It’s like they’ll spontaneously combust if they allow themselves to understand that reasonable, smart, thoughtful liberals can disagree with the party line and not be far right lunatics pretending in order to sow division. And smart “BIPOCs” who disagree? Omg, we definitely cannot exist. We’re against the laws of Physics. It’s such pompous, delusional thinking, and it’s also self-defeating because you cannot convince those who you refuse to admit even exist. [/quote]
