&gt; Very convenient how one party has all the good, moral people and the other one has all the sociopaths.

I said nothing of the sort, and it's not "convenient" at all having one of America's two viable political parties being overtly hostile to democracy and the basic values of Western civilization.  It's profoundly dangerous, not to mention infuriating.

&gt; May I ask how you ended you supporting the good people?

I started watching C-Span as a kid and listening to people in Congress talk.  Whether in harsh terms or gentle ones, the Republicans typically seemed to be making excuses for limiting someone else's rights, demonizing anyone who stood in their way or whose lives contradicted their ideological claims, and giving themselves and their principle campaign contributors more money at the expense of the wider public.

The Democrats were a far more mixed bag.  Usually their biggest crime was insincerity in stating the obvious, but often they would say interesting, meaningful things that sounded like the products of a serious and morally enlightened mind.  

The only persuasive arguments even attempted came from that side of the aisle, while by and large their opponents sounded like arrogant bullies who seemed to think they should get their way because they say so, and how dare anyone even think differently from them.

I've always had a moral compass, and that compass read "Liar" or "Bigot" most times that Republicans got up, and either said nothing or said "Truth" when Democrats did.  Later, more rigorously intellectual thinking and reading on the subject confirmed the initial reactions.  As have my conversations with people across the entire spectrum on the internet.

Conservatives are extremely selfish, narcissistic people consumed with paranoid fantasies of what they think totally powerless Others plan to steal from them.  And their egos are so fragile they can't handle hearing about *actual* injustices done to them by people who actually do have power.  They live in an upside-down, Orwellian fantasy world.
