I was in the military during the Reagan era and was a Republican. I coasted on that for awhile and then watched the film adaptation of TGOW and noticed the government run by the Democrats was trying to help poor people at the time, while Republicans were trying to run them out of town if they couldn't exploit their labor. This was the film depiction. I don't vouch for it's voracity. I'm not a historian. What I did do what take a look around in the 90's and notice Democrats were trying to help poor people while Republicans were trying to cut social security and school lunches for poor kids. That's when I became a Democrat.
