now ensconced in the Dem Party are pushing for the same things as Republicans. They are not Democrats, they merely moved into the Dem Party in order to make sure that their agenda will be supported by enough votes in the Dem Party since the Republican Party is fully owned.

That is why we see Dems voting for Republican issues and for a long time couldn't understand it.
