On paper, I am a democrat, I get to vote in all the little democrat things but in reality, since 2016, I have broken ranks and voted mostly R across the board. Sure you might get "Dems" registering on paper but who they vote for is also different.

I find I can do the most damage to my now insane party by staying in the Dem category and then voting the opposite way since they lost their mind. It also gives me a shield against BLM and Antifa when they find out I am a dem, so I won't get physically assaulted.

So you coat wearer has more allies than you think!

I am counting on a lot of cross over votes this election. Good people want peace and tranquility. The Democrat party is only offering insecurity and violence.

I would like to see that party swung more back toward the middle. Force out the communist, socialist and other weirdos. Make them go back to their own parties.

I have a shield for Antifa and BLM: a Winchester 30-30 lever action, two 44 Mags, two 357's, a 9MM, and a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun ( too shoot them in nuts with after blowing both legs off).

Got it covered I think.................

And it only pisses me off when the dems try and say "their the ones offering peace." this is bullshite, you're holding peace hostage unless the nation picks you.

They had that clown on here yesterday saying all of the Unrest is BECAUSE of Trump. If someone can't actually see where the violence and anger is coming from there is no hope for them.

It’s why the pills are so off. They under sample Democrats in rural areas and over sample republicans in suburban/urban areas.

Every democrat I talked with since I am a Dem, I showed how BLM and Antifa are acting. I also point out to Black Democrats I know mostly my workers and people I hired, how Trump has a plan for black people but Biden just have proposal. That even CNN who hates Trump have to admit he has the Platinum Plan, then they know it is legit.

I also ask them if they rather a aggressive rude person who got their back and get work done or a polite twat who give them vague promise but never follow through. I am proud to said I converted a lot of the black dem voters who work with me due to them fact checking things for themselves.

The asians where I am at is all in on Trump.

There was an article on nola.com this morning about exactly this, in Evangeline Parish I think. Evangeline used to be deep blue, but now everybody there (registered Dems included) votes Republican.

I tried to find the article but it’s already gone. Stephanie Grace must have complained.

My mom and dad were die-hard democrats. Voted for Edwards (Edwin, not JBE). I can't imagine them ever voting democrat now.

I certainly have no respect for anyone that votes democrat. Our office is about 90% republican, and I don't even talk to the dims anymore.

Well said. No one is going to deny that Trump can be an arse hole, but he's our a-hole on behalf of America. He will have the loudest voice in any room that he's in.

This election is emotion vrs results. In what industry does emotion take precedent over results? They don't. If you're hiring people based off of emotion you're not going to last long.

This happened in La. During the 50s-70s most conservatives in La. were registered Dem so they vote in the Dem primary for Governor. It was much more important than the GOP primary. Then when La. went open primary people gradually started changing registration to GOP.

Same here and I also have no intentions of changing it now either.

Yeah. My dad was really anti trump and voted for hillary in 2016 after telling me my entire life the republicans could trot out basically anything and he would vote republican. The last 4 years made him realize how foolish that vote for hillary was.
