My parents were life-long republicans. They’re now independents who’ll be voting for Biden this year. They might not vote for dems in the other races, but they certainly won’t be voting for republicans since they’re all fucking crazy here.
I’m used to politicians being corrupt, hypocritical, dishonest, out of touch, naive etc. but I hoped they’d never become stupid/insane and yet…
Maybe in the future your parents will get a presidential candidate they actually want to vote for but It’s nice to know that in an age of vitriol and misinformation there are adults looking at the bigger picture and making a pragmatic choice. Good on them.

(Seriously. The republican governor candidate last election was recorded accusing elementary schools of putting out litter boxes in class rooms to “accommodate students who identify as furry”.) (Oh. And the others that primaried against him were even crazier.)
