Changing your political party is free. I do that all the time on nearly every election cycle before reverting back to Independent again. Putting your money where your mouth is isn’t free. We’ll find out more as more information comes out. I’m surprised that’s the part you’re hanging your hat on. With all of the layoffs happening by the day, and the increasing political divide on non ideological basis by the reporting media, the country is becoming more and more ripe for a civil war. The people want change as well as a complete reset on the country’s priority list. Just everyone disagrees on what the changes should be and how to rank the priority list. It’s hard to see for someone on the left or the right but it’s easy to see as someone caught in the middle of it all. I just want to end with a message to bridge the growing divide in our country both ways. Why do you think half of our country votes the opposite way that you do? Could it be they have seen things in the world that you have missed? What has the other side seen that you haven’t?
