Your dismissive of OP’s reasoning. That tends to reinforce people’s position.

My wife is a registered Democrat who’ll be voting for Trump in a swing state. As recently as six months ago she loathed Trump.

Her stated reason is that she doesn’t feel like she can be herself, have her own opinions, among Democrats anymore.

“ Leadership is increasingly immigrant driven who often do not understand full implication of their policies and decisions.”

As an immigrant myself... spot on. It’s taken me a decade to understand a bit of the US, appreciate it’s branches, and I’m from Canada!

Luck has nothing to do with it.
