Exactly! My Mom and Dad always thought of themselves as Democrats. In his early 70's my Dad changed his affiliation to Republican. I walked in on the argument between him and Mom re same. Dad was explaining that the Democratic Party had changed so much, that it no longer represented his beliefs. Mom wouldn't listen - all she could say was "the Republicans will take away our Social Security". She said that until she died at age 82. The AARP said so, and nothing would make her even consider anything different and she absolutely despised Clinton and voted for him anyway because of SS. That's actually what got me started paying attention to politics.
