I used to be a republican myself. Even had a chatroom going with Bush 04 supporters.
Many tea party fools remind me of what I was like back in the day. I could not wait for the bombs to fall on Iraq. War was exciting and backing republicans was a way to see more war on Fox (Yes I was a big fox news fan and that is why I know what they are like today) I considered the left as pansy bleeding heart liberals who would rather see the country get attacked again than glass the middle east.
One of the things that got me to move left was realizing my family was going to war for real for months in the middle of hostile territory. Realizing I was advocating tax breaks for companies that sent my communities jobs overseas. Advocating laws to restrict the rights of homosexuals that have done nothing to me and my family. Advocating removing help for families that have suffered economic toil. In other words I had become a monster and it took getting older to realize that.
When I look upon the faces of many tea party fools I see my younger face.
