Twitter Exploded After Big Shot Dem Lawyer Ditched The Party To Join The Red Wave!
A lifelong Democrat writer and civil liberties attorney set Twitter on FIRE Thursday after announcing that for the first time ever, and for the 'foreseeable future', she would be voting Republican. Jenin Younes joined the many who made the switch ahead of the midterms and while Twitter users might be outraged, we're loving it for her!
"Though I was a lifelong Democrat until 2020, I will be voting red this November and in every election for the foreseeable future. I firmly believe that, despite my many disagreements with platforms of the Republican Party, it poses far less of a threat than Democrats," Jenin Younes wrote on Twitter this week.

Younes told Steve Doocy on Thursday that several crucial issues compelled her to make the switch, including gender identity politics forced on children, Biden's executive overreach, censorship and "authoritarianism."
"I would say I initially associated the Democrats with sticking up for the little guy, being anti-corporation, even anti-big government," she said while appearing on "Fox & Friends."
"Things have changed since then, and I would say especially with COVID where the Democrats really embraced authoritarian policies in terms of closing businesses and schools," she added.
Younes lambasted Democrats' notoriety for censorship, particularly through the Big Tech and social media crackdowns, adding that the issues she finds so important have made her consider voting Republican for some time.
"We even have a voting bloc called ‘Democrats for DeSantis’ because we've really admired his way of dealing with COVID," she said.

She roasted progressive Democrats even further by dissecting their laser focus on gender ideology issues for children, including pronouns and gender-affirming treatments for minors.
"[That's] another issue I have with Democrats at this point in time. I want to emphasize that I don't have a problem with adults being able to do what they want, but I have a problem with people pushing children to get surgeries and confusing them about their identity in this way," Younes said.
She argued that the party misplaces its priorities on gender ideology issues while most Americans are more concerned about how to put food on their tables and tackling skyrocketing inflation, a dilemma she says pandemic-era economic shutdowns helped create.
Other lifelong Democrats have announced their exodus from the party in light of recent issues, most notably including former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who announced her severance from the Democratic Party last week, lambasting the organization as an "elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness" that she said bends to "anti-White racism."
