I'm a lifelong democrat, and I recently defected. I could not disagree with your ideas more completely. Your article suggests everyone who voted for Trump is less intelligent than you, that their brains are not fully functioning. To be expected, from the sanctimonious woke brigade, who believe so fervently they are right, anyone disagreeing with them must be retarded.

The real reasons for this seismic shift are demographic and societal. The blue party crawlewd so far up its own rectum, it lost touch with middle class families, working families and real people with real world concerns. It declared war on tech and progress, then acted surprised when the traditionally democrat-voting tech bros picked up the ball and took it over to the red tent. Oops. Quoting Ryan from One Republic, "It's too late to apologize".

America has mOved away from the sanctimonious crybabies, and it seems even a twice convicted felon with dictator tendencies is less unappealing than the woke left.

I walked away from the blue tent, and with millions like me, didn't walk into the red tent but decided to be a happily independent tech bro, apologizing to nobody and caring very little what anyone thinks.
