I hate @TheDemocrats for making me hate them.

I've been an Independent my whole life. There were things I liked and disliked about both R and D platforms. I was farther to the left than most Dems. I was pro-gay marriage rights long ago. Separation of Church and State.

*1
Drug decriminalization/legalization.

But never forget, the whole PMRC campaign against rap music and such started with Tipper Gore. I was never a fan of rap, but I dislike censorship even more.

*2
On the flip side, about the only thing I respected from the Rs was 2A protection. Yeah, they were wishy-washy about it, but Dems were vehemently ANTI-gun. Still are.

So, here I am...a man who would have voted Democrat happily his whole life.

What happened?

Decades ago, I started getting the feeling from the left that they didn't care for me much.

I'm white. I'm heterosexual. I'm a Classical Liberal in that I prefer personal freedom and minimal government intrusion.

The left demands groupthink, and I'm Edgar Friendly.

Let's not kid ourselves, though. The right prefers it, too. They disliked me because I'm atheist. The older I get, the closer I get to Satanism.

I liked smoking in bars and sex with unmarried women. Even some married ones.

*5
But starting with Reagan, the left started to get...mean.

I didn't like Reagan much, because back then I was more left than right, but it was hard not to notice.

I don't remember much about Herbert Walker, because I was mostly apolitical in my 20s/30s.

I had my mind on my money, and my money on those unmarried women.

To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to the Clinton administration, either. There was apparently some kerfuffle about a blowjob and some warmongering in Bosnia.

*7
And then Dubya.

Man. The left HATED Dubya Bush. All their lives, they'd been waiting for a drug-addled draft dodger to come to power and when one finally did, he was a REPUBLICAN?

That's about when I started to take note of the left's behavior.

And it's only gotten worse.

Even the 8 years they had their Affirmative Action poster child (who is responsible for more war and death than W ever was...take THAT, Nobel Commission!) in the White House, it was not enough to just WIN against Rs, they had to vilify them.

*9
And woe betide you if you didn't join them in their Daily Two Minutes Hate. You could find yourself on the receiving end of protests, boycotts, death threats, even assassination attempts.

Which brings us to today.

*10
Cities that rival 3rd World slums. Anti-American protests by millionaire "celebrities". Riots. Murders.

This is the America the Democrat Party has built. All to drive you into the arms of the Benevolent Democratic Socialist Party who promises to care for your every need.

*end
Oh...and for those of you who may be thinking a lifetime of free shit should consider this: It will be some faceless bureaucracy that decides what you need and how much, not you.
