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). I’ve 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 what’s right.

In our state, for example, the Republican Party isn’t 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 “Republicans only” Republican primaries to depose true Freedom candidates in favor of left-leaning Establishment candidates. And then, there’s the cheating that makes “election integrity” 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.
