They have become more liberal on social issues and more conservative on fiscal issues. I used to be more for a populist message on the economy... lift everyone up type of thing. Now as a natural reaction to the ilk that Trump has brought out I have a much more hard line stance on fiscal issues. Cut taxes, cut social programs, support as much free trade as possible, stop sending money directly from the two coasts to support social programs in the Midwest and South (we pay way more in taxes than we get back). Basically, I want a sink or swim economy. But I want it to be "fair" on social policies, which means there shouldn't be racial discrimination, gays should have equal treatment, and we shouldn't waste a ton of money on dumb wars. So on balance, I still support democrats.
you, buddy.
That being said, I see the appeal of cutting off all of the support that flows from the coasts to the heartland, if only to show these folks how much they rely on the elites that they decry so much. If some temporary tough love is what it takes to show them that they should be voting for Democrats, well... so be it.
you, buddy.
This experiment would be funny.

Those two words are not as clever as you think.

anyways mostly this cycle has strengthened my conviction that human rights > democracy / rule of law
