We don't have to agree on everything since neither of us have the power to change the world. Lest you forget, I tilt left or right on individual issues rather than in conformance with a political tribe.

It is common for people to say the party (tribe) moved away from their values like Jim Webb & Tulsi Gabbard did when the tribe doesn't align with their values. I hear people talking about RINOs or extreme left or right when it's just a matter of the population of the tribes not being a monolith. I reject all tribal labels since none of them define me.

The one who surprised me was George Will. but on reflection, not so surprising. He didn't become a Democrat, and probably the only reason he bailed was because his patrician pretenses were irreconcilable with Trump's crudity.

BTW he has had that same stock photo since I can remember, and he's 81 now. So it's at least 35 years out of date.

Maybe labels don't accurately define me or thee but go over to the other side and you won't find a hell of a lot of ideological diversity.
