In a past life I was a registered Democrat.
I have kept the registration through many years, for no reason other than not caring enough to do anything about it.
I have come to appreciate the hilarity of that side of the aisle though (tbf I am sure Republicanism^TM is also bad).
For example, this email I received (from this person I’ve never heard of who somehow has been granted preferential access to communicate with me, for no reason other than being an “official” democrat I guess):
Wherein, the Democrats decide they have committed an act of virtuous defiance in stopping Trump from cutting the DoE.
Dictatorship? Denied! They say.
However, I voted for Trump with explicit hopes of gutting things like the DoE. I wager many, many people did the same.
Trump landslid the election and yet here we are, receiving direct confirmation that the Dems not only misunderstood why, but don’t even care enough to wonder.
