The whole party switch thing is false . Look at the electoral map throughout the years . If the parties switched , don ' t you think the blue states would have turned red and vice versa ? Why was MLK not a democrat either ? Regardless , although the right may be backwards on some things , the left is just using people as pets for their own personal gain . So , I mean believe it or not but researching doesn ' t hurt . I ' m neither party because they both suck , but come on . Even the supporters of the left are violent and whiny when they don ' t get their way . I ' ve seen more black people and minorities being victim to racism by those who are angry that they don ' t follow the democratic party . I ' ve seen women get rape threats by feminists for the same reason . Today ' s left needs a major overhaul , or people are gonna be dealing with a whole generation of Trumps . That ' s why he won in the first place . People are tired of being called racist , sexist , etc despite doing nothing of the like . People got so fed up me included that we voted Trump as a fuck you to the people policing everyone else .
