As far back as high school I assumed this was possible. All it took was learning about amendments 18 (Prohibition of alcohol) and 21 (scratch that).
Those touting their pocket edition US Constitutions (I think we saw Ted Cruz do this?) do so with the same with bibles. All I see is John Brittle from Django Unchained.
More people need to understand this, I think.
One video of a red voter had him expressing regret for his vote. In one expression he said “I guess I’m democrat now” with the same distaste as someone saying “guess I eat dogs now”.
I don’t think he’d have as much hesitation changing a vote in the future if he didn’t feel like doing so makes him into a monster he helped to paint.
My dad said the same bullshit about being a former liberal. The turning point for him, according to him, was when Clinton lied about the BJ.
I know he’s full of shit all around because he has vocalized:
Nostalgia for slavery
“Countries used to do this all the time to the conquered! Why’d we stop?”
Advocating, repeatedly, the nuking of middle east countries. Because anything less is token restraint.
That Republicans freed the (US) slaves, then he’s conveniently disinterested in continuing that line of conversation after the first counter.
Malicious deadnaming a trans suicide victim who was in the news, eyeing others in the room to see if it had the intended effect.
During the George Floyd protests he claimed his black coworker “supports none of those insincere protests and is humbly and gratefully employed.” This one was cathartic for me because I laughed my ass off to his face for several minutes, taunting his refusal to call up or name that coworker.
Those are just the top 5 for this particular lie. We no longer have contact. He doesn’t see his kids or grandkids.
By the way, people like this deserve the experience of some rando dropping an anonymous fake detailed tip to USdotSSdotgov along the lines of “I keep seeing brown people in his backyard pool but they never come outside otherwise. Like he’s hiding illegals.” Maybe people like that would get their own gravySEAL treatment firsthand. But of course if I were on the jury prosecuting the fake tip dropper I’d have to vote to convict because of law & order ©. (wink wink jury selectors)
Inspiration is the 4:56 mark of this. <3
