Yeah. My tag line. It took years to convince me I was being fooled. I left the Republican party in the W years. No, I didn't become democrat. As Reagan said, with a slight twist, I didn't leave the republican party. The republican party left me. They are way too far left for me now. And, of course, the D's are even further left.
I started seeing both parties as the "uniparty", playing "good cop, bad cop" with us. The bad cop being whichever side disagreed with you the most. And eventually this uniparty became known as the "deep state". They exposed themselves with the Trump presidency. They all hated him, but none quite so much as Liz Cheney, apparently.😁
But I stopped trusting virtually all of them quite a while ago.
