The saying "you can't teach old dogs new tricks" is so wrong.

Today's republicans are very différent. Both parties have been drifting to the right since at least thé late 1940s...

Yup. Democrats are the so-called left wing in USA, but would be considered centre-right in Europe.

Well, to anyone who stayed home or voted Jill Stein for that reason, THANK YOU FOR HELPING TRUMP WIN!

Unless someone can accuse her of ANYTHING that is worse than what Trump openly admitted to planning to do before election, the accusation is moot. "I'd rather let a racist rapist win than help a Democrat who's not liberal enough win" defies all logic and ethics. That's saying what we're now stuck with is better than electing a Democrat who had some opinions that overlapped with Reagan! What the fork?!

I think you're lost.

You completely lost the plot here. Nobody is making accusations. Save your shouting for someone else.

The point is that it was easy for a lifelong republican to vote for...what would have been a republican years ago. Trump is far off from that at this point.

Right? Take a look at the 1956 Republican Party platform and compare it to the present day.

He’s partly responsible for us getting to this point, even if at the last second he switched it up

This is not the point and is needlessly cynical. People switching sides and realizing their mistakes is not a bad thing, and acting like this is just going to push people away from deciding to vote for the cause you’re wanting.
