Can Decent People Be Republican Anymore?

7. I don't think so.

Mrs. Aristus, one of the most loving, compassionate, open-hearted people I've ever known (lucky me, I'm married to her...), used to be a staunch, rock-ribbed Republican, the product of a wealthy, conservative Christian upbringing.

She was initially dismissive of the disaster Election 2000 turned out to be, but quickly grew to despise George W. Bush and his ham-fisted, incompetent, war-mongering misadministration.

By Election 2008, she was so disillusioned by the GOP that she voted for Obama/Biden, despite her opposition to Biden's Catholicism. She voted for Barack Obama again in 2012 without a qualm, constantly praising his grace, compassion, intelligence, and humanitarianism.

She was so horrified by the prospect of a Trump Presidency that she voted for Hillary Clinton without hesitation.

She now swears she will never vote Republican again, and intends to vote for every Democrat on every ballot.
