When I met him in college he was a Democrat, not progressive though. In his 40's he started working at a cyber security firm and I saw him gradually slide right, not conservative. He was still pro choice but he really hated the Obama presidency. We had horrendous fights, completely started by him because the kids all are like me, as they put it "liberal because it's sane".

He didn't vote for McCain because of Palin but he did good for Romney.

For a few years it was really bad, I wasn't sure we would make it because I began to lose respect. He was a Kasich supporter but it was clear he wasn't gaining traction. He has hated Trump since 1980, as the primaries dragged on he switched parties. He actively campaigned for Bernie and then Hilary, even bought a bottle of pink champagne for election night.

Now, he absolutely hates every single Republican. He is in a fury every day, right alongside me and our children. Trump had been bad for the country and the world but there is cohesion in my home. And it's permanent because my husband is so disgusted with that party.
