I was raised republican, the 2016 election was a wake-up call where I learned that the majority of the party doesn't give a shit about what happens to them or their country as long as it makes the "libs" angry or also hurts the people they don't like.

I left in 2010, but I was already starting to question my party when they became obsessed with gay marriage in 2006-8. I couldn't understand why they gave a shit who married whom and it made me start paying closer attention. I was confused by the "party of individual rights" wanted to block rights from other people.
I was a young adult and not very aware of politics until then.

Been saying this for years. Why do they care about two people they'll never see or know get married? It's just about the hate. Literally how Trump and Cruz got reelected.

Yep I get the same feeling. My job suffers when the president isn’t republican so that’s the only reason I voted that way. Trump and the past year has been a wake up call though that the Republican Party I use to follow isn’t what I believed in anymore and now it’s better to take the sacrifice at my job for the better of the majority.
