It's a combination of Dems going batshit crazy over the past 8 or so years, and these men getting older, wiser, and more mature. Not to say Republicans are automatically "wiser" but I do think they're slightly closer to sane and rational, at least in the past 10 years or so.. I'm certainly no Republican but I've opened myself up to a lot more knowledge and viewpoints over the years, and have increasingly found the Dems to be just as maligned and full of shit as Repubs, sometimes even moreso.
I used to be a tried and true Democrat and hardcore liberal in my young teen years (voted Kerry and Obama in '08) but I've sort of settled to a center-left Libertarian over the course of the past 15 years (now 31 yrs old), when I gained more knowledge and started to discover my mother's dominant voice wasn't the end all be all ultimate wisdom of the universe.. Part of the reason is I've legitimately felt pushed aside, ridiculed, and shunned by my own side for not 100% following the party line by friends and family on the left, while I very rarely get shit from people on the right despite still holding mainly liberal views. Things like this make me question my side and push me farther to the right.
