Your Party ID Through the Years

[Thank you for being a friend...]

I would have been born in the Civil War and somehow lived up to today, but here goes:

Solidly Republican, strongly pro-Lincoln, from Pennsylvania

Loved Teddy Roosevelt in the 1900s (decade) and backed him as the Progressive in 1912, but likely remained registered as Republican

I would have voted for FDR in 1932, despite continuing to be a Republican (but a progressive one).

I would have favored the defense of the Allies and intervention in World War II, and maybe in the 1940s begun to drift away from the Republican Party.

In the 50s, I would have voted for Eisenhower, but possibly supported a Democrat for statewide or local offices in PA.

By 1960, I would be torn between the two parties, I would have gone with JFK, then with Johnson in 1964. 

I think by the late 60s, early 70s I would have sympathized greatly with the antiwar movement, with the women's movement, with the gay movement, and become too progressive to remain a Republican.  I may have kept it as the party registration for me to vote in R primaries, but supported the Democrat in the general election.

I think I may have voted for Ross Perot in 1992.
