> It's easy to look at the political parties of a state's elected representatives and make assumptions about the people there but it's very important to consider the actual people being elected before you draw conclusions about the politics of the citizens.

I didn't draw any conclusions, they said they were Republican in Missouri who disagreed with the Governor. I simply asked if that made them "re-think" their their affiliation.

That so many people assumed I was asking them to switch to Democrat is evidence of how dug in our society has become. It contains two big assumptions.

1. Re-assessing your affiliation based on political performance is the same as switching to another party

2. If you aren't a Republican, you must be a Democrat
