Because front line Republicans are just parroting what they heard from their leaders.

How'd you get out? (Congrats btw)

It's a bit of a long story and probably would reveal a bit more than I'm comfortable with.

TL;DL: I started to realize that the Christians I was hanging around didn't actually care about the political issues they said they did.

2016 was the first election where I didn't vote Republican. 2018 was the first election I voted Democrat down the line. 2020 was the first election I donated, supported, and campaigned for a democratic candidate (Bernie).
