My dad used to love the line, “when you start earning money you’ll become a Republican too”. Um, no. I debated him for decades and, much to his credit, it paid off. He’s been a solid Dem voter for the last 3 elections. I’m very proud of him!
From a more sad perspective, that could be because Democrats today are almost indistinguishable from what Republicans were decades ago. Remember that Nixon created the EPA and desegregated schools. Today they would pillory any Republican that even thought about doing something like that.

Dems today would be scorned for right wing fanaticism in the republican party of sixty years ago.
He only did those things because Vietnam was going so poorly so don’t give him too much credit.
