Have you ever heard of a republican turning democrat?

Question

Chazmatazz269 · Accepted Answer

Yes, it happens less frequently but it’s still not uncommon. The two party system is broken. The natural progression to this understanding is indoctrination to a political party. Disillusionment with that party. Shifting to moderate and feeling ineffectual. Joining the opposing party. Disillusionment with that party and shifting back to moderate. Disillusionment with the entire two party system.
It is a tool for the powers that be to maintain control of the masses. We the people will never see meaningful change until the majority recognize that and move to change it drastically and permanently.

Hunter Avallone, I don't know if that's how you spell his name. When I first discovered him on YouTube years ago he was a Republican, and now he's a Leftist from what I understand or Centre-Left.

Paige90 · Accepted Answer

No but I am sure it has happened. I heard of a lot of democrats turning into Republican

abc3643 · Answer

Yes, that's happened... and vice versa.

For example, when I was a boy, John Lindsay was the Mayor of New York from January 1, 1966 to December 31, 1973. In 1971, he switched from Republican to Democrat.

Miristheiss · Answer

I cannot say I hear about it happening much.

I hear a lot about dems switching.

It is because dems are pushing such extreme stuff... extreme woke, DEI, trans people in girls sports, cancelling anyone who doesn't think exactly like you, total open borders and utter invasion from 3rd world countries, sex changes on children.

Most rational people do not believe in this stuff.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Actually, yes. A few hours ago, some witless, misguided soul said he was excited to go democrat after being republican. But, usually, it's the other way around.

Wodens_Apprentice · Answer

Nobody swings towards the left anymore become everyone is realising what a giant grift it is. We also don't like our ethnic groups being replaced with others who have a tendency to commit acts of barbarity which reminds us that our culture is infact superior.

Summeroflove · Answer

I’ve heard more of the opposite to be honest with you. As well as more people in the middle being pushed farther right. However, I see news stories I’m sure it happens now and again. But not commonly

Sevenpointfive · Answer

that's a pot of water i'd steep.  that's one-third or more of the country. the politicians aren't looking at polls because that's false numbers. i am not a republican or democrat but i am not happy.

Anonymous · Answer

Not in my lifetime. I think it happened more in the distant past, but not in recent years. People tend to start out democrat when they are young and naive, and then as they get more life experience and become wiser they shift to the right.

But in recent years, and lot more young people are republican early on and just stay that way.

But most notably, a LOT of democrats of all ages have turned republican, which is understandable given how absolutely insane the left has become.

Sometimes I wonder what causes the disconnection I feel between what a profile says and what question asks the very same profile.  This is happening now.

sawno · Answer

I have, it happens both ways. On the republican side its usually the pre-maga republicans which rightfully see the war mongering corrupt party they liked was closer to the modern day democrats.

slatyb · Answer

Of course, just as I have heard of Christians leaving their faith, and haters learning tolerance. Perhaps we'll have a lot of new Democratic voters as many Trump voters feel his love.

NathanDavis · Answer

Not a republican, but I'm friends with an ex Turkish nationalist. When I met her she hated Kurds, migrants and homos, now she's more tollerant and is even friends with a homo.

Not in a decade. There hav e been some democrat politicians that have become Republucans. The Mayor of Dallas and a Congressman from NJ are two

llorando · Answer

Yes, not too common, but it does happen. Elizabeth Warren is one example of a Republican who became a Democrat. To be fair the opposite also happens where a Democrat becomes a Republican.
