I wonder how many of those switching to the Republican party only did so to vote in the primary and will vote Democrat for the actual election.

That was in 2021.
Before the decidedly conservative (read: Republican) SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade a few days ago.
Things might look a lot different after the upcoming mid-terms.

It feels like its all part of a plan. Purposely divide tge country between left and right while they push their real agendas through.
Look at how foreign policy between trump, obama and biden hasn't dramatically changed. They all support the military industrial complex.
They convince you the other side is all evil so you look the other way when they put in swampy politicians to high office.
And look what they did to the growing conspiracy movement that was a mix of people focused on weeding out corrupt politicians.
They created Qanon and had conspiracy theorists larp for four years while they pushed in more draconian laws and politicians.
Hell, people still follow Q and the never-ending goal posts that make people think corruption is being destroyed behind the scenes.
This way, conspiracy theorists sit back and do nothing but vote in pro trumpers whp TPTB can control. Just like how they use the hatred against trump to get biden elected.
I wish ATSers could see how this is all being used as a distraction. War, corruption, greed, economies, and bad politicians will be overlooked to talk about this issue ad infinitum.
Furthermore, do we want ATS to be another right wing blog that complains about the evil democrats and liberals every other post? I think we can do a bit better than playing their game of divide and conquer.

It ended when Ross Perot last run as an Independent in 1992.
We really fked up allowing the corrupted system to run over Perot and Ron Paul
