I heard it from someone who switched parties from Democratic to Republican when Obama got elected. She was always a selfish, terrible person but her then-new embrace of racism and birtherism cemented my view of her then and there. She's since gone off the MAGA deep end, despite the fact she's a lesbian and the GOP likely hates her just for that. She's a loudmouthed Second Amendment fetishist now, too, and an anti-vaxxer who believes that vaccines cause autism and the COVID jab was (and still is) killing or crippling more people than it helped.



Edit: now that I think about it, she was actually a Randrrhoid registered as a Democrat because some of her views did align with the Democrats at the time. She's a right-wing wackaloon now, though.
