This, except Im probably more conservative than you. Im fairly ideologically libertarian in a lot of ways. I think the best way to cut medical costs is making it so doctors shouldnt have to be licensed (As long as they make that completely apparent)

But the last 8 years or so have had the Republican Party turn into the literal forces of evil. What the hell man.

I represent one of the greatest current fears of the Republican party. The actual moderate ones know they're rapidly losing the people who don't strongly identify with either party.

I didn't like Bush Jr., but frankly we were fine as a country for 4 years. I've paid more attention to politics in the last year than I have in my entire life. This is a case where extra exposure has been bad.

I can't tell you how much they'd have to clean themselves up to even get me back on the fence. The same holds for many like me. My current political leaning can be simply put as "The Democrats aren't "good", but the Republicans are "evil".

Biden isn't the "hero" we want, he's the hero we need. If the Democrats waste these two years though, and they're probably going to, at least we get some peace in our lives for a little while. Not being terrified of my own President is a good feeling.

That fear was there from the start and got even worse at the end. 2016 stunned me into being noncommucative for days (Blade actually picked the TNF game for me that week, Ravens over Browns, because I wasn't functional enough to do it myself)

I don't trust that party as a whole to even be able to recognize me as a woman. I've spent the last 4 years with a looming sense of danger as a trans. That fear is going to be the toughest thing to forgive.
