It's strange. Our father was registered as a Democrat, I think because of Nixon. Our mother was a Mondale Republican. In the 90s, he kept grumbling about Democrats and decided he was more Republican than Democrat any more, and switched his registration just in time for the beginning of the most extreme Neocon nonsense.
He regrets it now, of course. "WTF?!?! I thought these guys were sane, but now they really ARE nuts."
Meanwhile, our mother's remains as unchanging as moon dust. 'Cause, you know, she's a REAL Republican, all those other guys are just phonies using the party name. </end mother-ese>
Moral of the Story: by the time you figure what a party's about, it's not about that anymore.
