Yeah I was the same way as a kid, luckily that imploded once I had access to voting record from senators, congressfolk, and presidents. Its one of those things that probably originates back wehn the Republicans were lead by the progressive factions and the Democrats were led by the sputhern blue dogs. Ya get meemaw ranting about the evils of the Democrats and over the course of 80 years and some vaguely okay Republican presidents ya end up with dumbshit.
