Except he hasn't woken up, he likely moved to some dem enclave in texas, where he will keep voting straight blue. These people never learn, they are not able to make the connection.
"I didn't leave the left, the left left me. There are no lessons for me to learn, there are no changes I have to make, the world shifted around me"
Everyone who says this is just biding their time. It is the entire basis for American Conservativism and look at their limp wristed resistance to social and political upheaval decade by decade. In the '60 conservatives gave up freedom of association, in the 70s they gave up to country to immigrants, in the 80s they gave over our manufacturing base to hostile foreigners, and so on.
The problem of accepting people who have "seen the errors of their ways" is that they usually haven't.
