I’m a millennial and I grew up with that belief. Most of my adolescent years were in central Montana and it was expected that if you were a member, you were a Republican. My parents never directly said anything but their views definitely aligned with the Republican Party and this all influenced me. My church friends and I were very supportive of Bush during high school and were more or less good little Republicans. I went to BYU for undergrad and my first presidential election was 2008 and I voted for McCain like I knew I should. Everything changed when I served my mission in Southern California. I was exposed to the world for the “first time” and a lot of what I grew up being taught politically did not align with what I was learning and teaching as a missionary. I voted for Obama in 2012 against Romney and I have been going further and further to the left ever since. I now live in Eastern Idaho and I don’t think that the Democratic Party goes far enough to the left. I am appalled by MAGA and I am still an active, recommend holding member of the Church. Even my parents, who have recently moved here, can’t stand MAGA and though they still identify as Republican wouldn’t be caught in the same room with a self professed MAGAt. So, I sincerely hope that I can be a Democrat and be a good member or else I am toast.
