K&R and I agree with your excellent post.

I am old enough to have known people in my life who identified as Republican and who I never dismissed because of their party affiliation. However, these days I cannot have anything to do with anybody who still remains stridently a Republican. I do think that there are probably quite a few who are now going to have to keep the fact that they are Republicans secret or they will start telling people they are "Independents".
