This is from a woman on FB.
"PROUD DEMOCRAT". That is the cover photo that was used on my Facebook page. I am 57 years old and have never voted for a Republican.
I have a picture of my Mother with Hillary Clinton that I had sitting on my dresser. I would argue with anyone that said they were voting for Trump. I refused to use the words, "Trump" and "President" in the same sentence. "He is NOT my President!", I would stubbornly tell anyone.
I still don't know exactly when things changed. I feel like it started when I watched Nancy Pelosi tear up the Presidents speech. I was for the first time ever embarrassed of the Democratic party. Then there was the impeachment. I drive 1.5 hours to work each way every day and I would listen to CNN the whole ride. I was not only embarrassed but honestly angry at how it seemed the President was being setup. I started secretly listening to Fox News on the way to work and CNN on the way home. I had never listened to Fox News before as I was always told by fellow party members that it is not "real" news. I was trying to make sense of the thoughts I was having.
I woke up one morning (literally) and realized for the first time ever that I had been fooled by the Democrats. I had been blinded by my stubbornness to look at the other side. Blinded by my pride to admit I could be wrong. Blinded by my past beliefs. I had refused to look at any other side except my own. How could I have believed everything I was being told by the Democratic Party? I had quit talking to family members (sorry Greg). I had argued with good friends. Realizing my previous beliefs were wrong was a really hard pill to swallow.
I still can't believe that it took me so long to see the light. I'm just thankful I did. I will be voting for Donald Trump...President Trump (IN PERSON). I thank God I saw the light and hope there are more people like me that open their eyes.

 Congratulations  It is hard to swallow one's pride but it can be done and it's OK. I feel there will be an awakening and you have helped confirm that for me.

Good for her. There many people that refuse to admit a mistake. We all make them. I glad she finally took off the blinders. I keep hearing this more and more.

While I am a republican I will say the platform of Democrats has changed greatly since JFK was in office. The parties would half was work together, but now it doesn't happen. I don't agree with all the republican ways, but the Democrats has moved to a new level. Not a good one. Most people will vote their party no matter what. I will say any party that is ok with killing babies is against everything I was taught and believe in. If the Republicans was backing this kind of reform and the Democrats wasn't, guess what I would vote Democrat. But they are not the same as they use to be. It's a shame that why everyone in DC is so power hungry and no longer care what the people think. To be honest the whole system needs a reboot.

I've stated this before, I'm still a registered Democrat but, I've never voted a straight ticket in my life.
While I remain a registered Democrat, I'm not a happy camper with the direction they've taken. I hope to help them change from within. I can't support their platform or very many of their candidates.
I didn't leave the Democrat party, they left me. They have lost their way.
