i understand single issue voters, i am not one of them though. i was a registered republican from 1998 until 2016. i mostly voted republican, but sometimes voted democrat., depending on who i felt was best for the job. after the rise of the maga, i decided that i could no longer be associated with that party. it became really weird to see people worship a political figure. after that, i registered democrat and i have mostly voted democrat since. i consider myself fiscally conservate and socially liberal. i feel that bitcoin doesn't need government approval, but sure, it does help with adoption. ill continue to vote whom i think can do the best overall job.

We had opposite conclusions. I voted democrat until 2020 when I saw the lefts reaction to trump. It became apparent to me then that these people were a corrupt permanent bureaucracy who didn’t feel constrained one iota by the democratic will of the American people. Who also didn’t share, believe in or respect common American values or social norms.
To me, it's odd how I could have the exact same response as this to how I feel about the Republican party. We are so damn politically divided as a society. I hate it. Our opposite conclusions and vilifying the opposite side makes me believe that we're being played by the government and the media as a whole. Both sides of this spectrum probably have some fair points and fair policies, but because we frame our differences so publicly now, political parties have to be extremely different and go to the far side of the spectrum to stand out so that they can be viewed as the polar opposite. We barely have any bi-partisan issues that parties and people just agree upon for the good of the nation. What the fuck? Most people aren't extremely left or extremely right. What the fuck? Love you brother. Appreciate your insight on this.
I think the media environment has a lot to do with it. Frankly though I’m only ever worried about the party in power. Right now that’s liberals. When the conservatives were in control I was liberal. Now that the liberals control society I am conservative. I will likely always be in opposition to the dominate authoritarian side. Just what feels right to me.
They all need to get thrown out on their ass and reminded of who really runs shit!
