[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really does boggle the mind.  How did the party that strived for limited government for decades suddenly swing so far to being an authoritarian party that strives to impose its morale and political opinions onto everyone, across a spectrum of issues?  And the blatant hypocrisy of demanding government stay out of their decisions and away from their bodies when it comes to their own personal beliefs, such as with vaccines, but demanding government interfere with people’s decisions and bodies when it comes to what they believe is right?

I used to be a moderate swing voter, and voted for Republicans just as much as Democrats over the years.  But I just can’t vote Republican now, even though I may want their conservancy on some issues.  I don’t trust them anymore not to suddenly take away rights just because that’s their own opinion, the hell with what anyone else thinks or what is democratic.  [/quote]
They were always authoritarian to some degree. People just excused it because society was more paternalistic and so it just seemed normal.[/quote]
