re: #113 Ghost of Tom Joad

It’s like what you hear from some of the remaining Republicans here. Everything is ‘my party.’ It doesn’t matter how awful a candidate is as long as he helps ‘my party.’ It shows a complete lack of critical thinking skills, which is exactly what those people want.

The only thing I can think of is that at some point they made a determination that voting for Democrats is unthinkable, and literally no power on earth could warrant revisiting that decision.

For my part, my voting for Republicans as they stand now is unthinkable. However, if they alter their essential nature over time, this decision could be revisited.

Evidently, the mental model that Republican voters have of the Democratic party must be worse than the GOP reality, which is impressive testimony to the power of propaganda.
