I’ve seen my lifelong views change in recent years as well.
First, my faith and trust in the GOP evaporated into nothingness, beginning with Bush’s obsessive craving for amnesty/open-borders and ending with the backstabbing treatment the Party bigwigs gave to Palin.
Second, seeing America re-elect a corrupt Marxist in 2012, and seemingly embracing the sheer depravity of fag-marriage. Such a country is no longer a country I would be willing to fight and die for. To put it mildly. A country that has morally degraded to this point is not a country I can feel particularly ‘invested’ in.
I am there with you.
I think you are not alone.
It’s a great loss. America was the exception to history. Sad to see man’s baser instincts take back over.
