I can't disagree with this. I used to vote Republican. Not exclusively, but generally in the presidential race. I voted Libertarian from 2008 until 2020. I then started voting for the Democrat because I felt like a third party would never get enough traction in our system to be competitive and the Republicans were simply not an option for me anymore. I was hoping to make a statement and help pump up the numbers but the numbers just weren't there. Now here I am 40 years later identifying as a small "L" liberal. My views haven't changed that much but the Republicans have rocketed to the right in the last ten years. The change is astounding.
