In reply to the discussion: If a person is still a Republican, then they are a fucking asshole. [View all]Jarqui
(10,110 posts)32. I still regard my sister as Republican
I think she would say so as well.
But she voted for Obama twice.
She absolutely can't stand Trump.
We're on the same page on a lot of issues.
She is a fiscal conservative (not like Paul Ryan) - just wants the spending under control (ie military)
Her husband is a staunch Democrat.
But I still think of her as conservative and therefore, Republican - I guess in part because I'm quite progressive.
Some might describe her as a Blue Dog but to me, after years of debates, it doesn't quite fit.
Having said that, she is the most generous, decent person I've ever known - not a fucking asshole.
Unfortunately, that party has allowed a bunch of assholes to take over and with their money, brainwashed a lot of people.
