We need to raise our voice in unison for our freedoms. The rights to free speech. The right to gather. The right peacefully protest . The right for religious freedom. The right to bare arms. We should have these right world wide .

Even democrats used to believe in rights like those you mentioned above (except, perhaps, the right to bear arms). See their platforms in 1920 and 1976 for example: https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/1920-democratic-party-platform and https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/1972-democratic-party-platform

I use to not follow party lines. I use to vote for who I thought would be the best person for office. I vote strictly Republic now. The difference between the two parties is extreme.

Generally true that the parties are very different. However, the Overton window concept is seeing them move ever closer together, mostly with the right moving left (https://conceptually.org/concepts/overton-window). IтАЩve observed that Republicans are moving ever closer to the left as money and power corrupt them and the desire to win overcomes the desire to do whatтАЩs right.

In our state, for example, the Republican Party isnтАЩt as true to the platform or the Constitution as one would hope, with lots of bickering between the Establishment and Freedom arms. Our state also has Democrats registering Republican and voting in the тАЬRepublicans onlyтАЭ Republican primaries to depose true Freedom candidates in favor of left-leaning Establishment candidates. And then, thereтАЩs the cheating that makes тАЬelection integrityтАЭ into a joke.

The resulting loss of freedom-minded candidates and true Republican winners has been catastrophic at every level of government and deep state.

Melanie, Evidently the extreme difference isn't a concern in the scheme of things. I don't really think you would vote for an obvious dangerous, demented, and unprepared promoter of all things vile man to run this country.
