Question for former Democrats. What flipped you over to the Right Side?

I’m 62 years old, was a Democrat until age 30-31. Both of my parents were old school Harry Truman blue collar Democrats from the Greatest Generation. I was raised Democrat during the 60’s and 70’s where the stereotype was a Democrat was of the working class and Republicans were the wealthy privileged class.

I gave you a little background so you would understand my previous affiliation with the Democrat party. The beginning of my separation from the Democrat party was around 1989-90. I had just graduated from a technical college, every job I applied for that called me in for an interview was non union, this was new territory for me, all my previous jobs were union representation.

I landed a job with a small company and the radio, which was played throughout the facility was always tuned to the same AM radio station…..yeah, no Muzak. Every day during the week at 11AM Rush Limbaugh was on that AM station and I wanted to shut that shite off. I can’t remember the day but I remember Rush talking about American exceptionalism and rugged individualism and that really started me thinking and paying closer attention to the Maharushie. It didn’t take long after that and I realized the Democrat party had morphed from the party of the blue collar working class to the party of the self imposed victim class……..I was done, and never looked back.
