I’m just observing that some of them are realizing they have no other choice if they want to vote to relieve their suffering.

That’s all.

Republicans are not going to vote for Democrats. Ever.

You are wrong - They already are.

It’s already been documented that recent Democratic victories in Texas and Florida in areas Trump won handily, were a result of Republicans (and independents) voting for Dems in significant numbers.
