This Oklahoma woman (Tiffany Eichner) is a registered Republican who voted straight Democrat because, she said the Kavanaugh hearing, "changed everything for me."

Thank you, Tiffany!

1. The GOP's worst nightmare

Soon only pissed off white men will be in the party and they will be out of hegemonic power for good. BTW, I am a pissed off white man who looks forward to the time (very soon) when EVERYONE has a true and honest voice in how this country is run. New ideas, new priorities and renewed belief that this country CAN get it right simply by trusting that all people people should be represented and heard.

2. This woman clearly has a story in her past.

Very powerful.

[BigmanPigman]

11. That didn't occur to me but I bet you're right.

[Johnyawl]

13. I think you're right.

[RedSpartan]

14. Yes, you can hear her voice crack.

I believe her.

[OMGWTF]

21. What Woman Doesn't?

[fierywoman]

26. Exactly.

[brush]

27. And I'm betting there are many more like her. That Kav hearing didn't turn out so well...

for the repugs after all.

[3catwoman3]

3. I wish I could welcome her...

...in person.

[dalton99a]

4. Good.

[Hugin]

5. As, I suspect it did for many.

Who may not talk about it, but, it will be reflected in their choice of candidates in the future.

6. Thank you Tiffany! For once I can say

congrats to a Republican. A Republican voting a straight DEMOCRATIC ticket. I’m in a minority, of sorts. I’m a white male 60, Democrat (lifelong) That always, always, always votes Democratic. Did I say “always?” 😃

[True Blue American]

8. You can say it again.

We do not mind from a life long Democrat who always,always votes Democrat!

[gopiscrap]

25. me too

you're dead to me if you are a republican. I haven't talked to my sister since 2002 because she voted for a repuke

9. And Kavanaugh had to happen for this woman to open her eyes?

The man-child is worst than Kavanaugh, she wasn't paying attention then?

Happy that she went straight democrat today, but come on! 2016 was obvious that the candidate on the right was everything Kavanaugh is and much,much more...

10. We are turning purple.

In canvassing in the past days and weeks, a surprising amount of Republicans say that cannot bring themselves to vote for Trump. It's still too red for me (I prefer TRUE BLUE) but this is a seismic shift here.

[lagomorph777]

12. I've been turning purple for two years

and the veins are standing out on my forehead. I feel like I'm going to explode.

[grantcart]

19. lol it gave me "Parkinson's"

As I listen to the news and encounter the nightly bigotry and hate from the WH my arms tense up and I start shadow boxing one of the Trumps my wife looks at me and says "how is your Parkinson's dear?"

I don't have Parkinson's.

[yellerpup]

23. LOL!

I think we'll have a salve for that kind of Parkinsons in a few hours.

[yellerpup]

22. I hear that!

You'll soon have a remedy, my friend.

[NastyRiffraff]

15. If you Twitter

Check out #GOPVotingBlue and #GOPVoteBlue. There are a LOT of Republicans & ex-Republicans voting Blue, and they want people to know it.

[Tess49]

18. Good to hear! What part of the state do you live in? I live in Norman, a fairly progressive city.

Still, way too much red here.

[Corvo Bianco]

16. It must be hard to suddenly realize that the men around you

Don't see you as a full person. Good for her and good vibes to women everywhere in GOP communities. These women need to gather their sisters around the reality fire and change the shit.

Happy voting day DU!

[Texin]

17. If Shitler, the Russian fiasco & the Kavanaugh spectacle aren't enough, nothing is.

I'm hoping that the woman in Oklahoma is one of millions of women who've changed their hearts and minds within the last two years - hell, the two last months. But not all will, sadly. We've got a woman on the ballot in my district of Dallas who was the victim of incest (her father), got pregnant three times by him and had three subsequent abortions. Her life has been like a Lifetime movie, yet she's gotten all evangelical, supports Trump (her personal evangelical Jesus), is rabidly against abortion and equally so childhood immunizations. I just don't get it. This woman was able to avail herself as an underage rape victim who became pregnant three fucking times and had three abortions and she hypocritically seeks to make it impossible and illegal for a similar teen or any woman for that matter to have the same access as she was lucky enough to be able to seek when she needed it back in the day.

20. At least ONE Republican had her ears and her mind open

Thirty million to go..................

24. Spoke casually with a motorhead white 60s-ish male Republican

His conversation segwayed into politics and without me volunteering my position or saying anything political, he said, he'd never vote for tRump. Maybe some other republicans, but not tRump. tRump's a piece of garbage, in his mind.

I got the gist that his wife was a democrat.

[Squinch]

28. OK. That's nice. I appreciate it. But "Grab em by the pussy" didn't change everything for her?

Seems odd.
