the switch

On Sunday, for the first time in my life, I voted Republican and I have a litany of reasons why.

First, let me make clear that I am not a Republican but an Independent. I am a moderate American voter who wants to vote based on his principles instead of a political party's demands.

However, I was a "vote blue no matter who" kind of moderate Democrat years ago. I don't recognize that Democrat party anymore. The party I used to support stood for liberal values like free speech & now pushes harder and harder for censorship.

If you told me 6 years ago that the official Democrat party position, even echoed by a Democrat President, was that mutilating children is not only acceptable but desirable and if you reject it you're a bigot, I would have thought you were insane. Yet here we are.

When I was a Democrat, we knew that abortion was the ending of life but it was a matter of giving someone the uncomfortable choice to do so and not wanting the government to interfere. We didn't use language like "clump of cells"; we knew exactly what it was.

Today, the pro-choice element of being on the left has gone into an extreme area of being pro-abortion. Mainstream Democrats like Stacey Abrams speak of abortion in such a disgustingly flippant manner. I can't support that worldview at all.

When parents showed up at school board meetings because perversion was appearing in their children's school classrooms and libraries, the Democrats were doing everything possible to label concerned parents as bigots for doing exactly what a parent is supposed to do.


It was with Democrat influence to even call these people Domestic Terrorists. Why? Because they don't want highly sexual books accessible to their children? When did sexualizing children become a political position? Why have Democrats made this the hill to die on?

You even have Democrat State Senator Tiara Mack as the voice advocating for teaching the pleasures of masturbation & sex to children in classrooms. Why?

Another huge matter to me was the management of all things COVID-related. There was one party that became social tyrants to enforce questionable policies regardless if they made sense or not and they used law enforcement to carry out arbitrary mandates.

The Democrats tried using OSHA to force people like myself to get the jab or be highly inconvenienced with constant testing at my job. I watched one party influence corporations to "do their part" in vaccinating people, resulting in my wife getting jabbed when she didn't want to.

A fetus is a clump of cells.  Prove me wrong.

I've known this since grade school, it's not that hard.

The only significant thing that distinguishes a person from a non-person is the capability of conscious thought.

By the same token prove a fetus can't feel pain, or capability of thought.

I'll wait.

Prove thought is not there at Inception.

I'll wait.

Prove that a single cell has no thought.

I'll wait.

They call unborn children a "fetus" so they can kill them and feel ok or so they can justify doing it. It's barbaric.

I know when my boys were born it likely took them a month or two to actually have "conscious thoughts". Most of what newborns have are unconscious natural instinct because their brains haven't fully developed or learned how to use them.

So you're saying it's okay to kill anything without an actual conscious thought?

Yeh...I'm still waiting... Matt??

A brain is never "fully developed" until the end of adolescence.  Are you saying no one has conscious thought until adulthood?

There's a guy named Jeff on this forum that we're still waiting on.

IDK. There are a few on here that still don't have conscious thoughts. 🤪

You gave to remember beej. If it goes against what they have been told to believe it's got to be a lie or misinformation. So a black man going from Democrat to Republican or liberal to conservative just can't be true.
