After the 2000 election it was obvious that Republicans played by different rules than Democrats.

After 911 this country lost its fucking mind. Like millions and millions and millions of people just became fucking psychopaths. All of a sudden everybody was willing to split hairs on torture, child murder, forced starvation, warrantless wiretapping, indefinite detention, extraordinary rendition, double tap drone strikes The list goes on.

We became completely fucking insane. It was obvious at that point this is where we were headed. That was when I realized I needed to register as a Republican. Democrats don’t care about my primary votes if they even hold one but in my youthfully naive hope I entertained the idea that you could democratically affect anything.

Aside from the extra good feels of getting to vote against Donald Trump multiple times, The only real benefit is that I get visits from local Republican party officials and they think I’m one of them.

I always put on my home accent and complain about liberals but I don’t think they understand that they are just liberals of the God bothering type to me and I seek to dismantle them from root to stem. … … But please tell me about this canvassing operation you have in my town… What kind of cars are they driving? Just curious
