    After his flip to the dark side post election, I honestly don’t know why there aren’t a lot more people cosplaying as Republicans. That side is so easily duped that anyone who comes out faking hate for moinorities, or claiming the government is a swamp you could easily win and then just flip afterwards.

      I do have a friend who ran for county judge as a Democrat and was defeated. Four years later, she ran as a Republican and won. Her politics are the same as ever, but that ® on the ticket makes the locals fill in her bubble every time she’s up for reelection.

      To wholeheartedly promote Republican policies requires brain damage, which we don’t yet have the technology to reverse.

        I could easily lie about that stuff and be convincing enough to enought morons to make them think I’m on their side. You live near enough conservatives and christians and you learn how to fake it.
