That was the party I once I believed in and loved, but it has gone to the extreme and what was once about the people and helping the people has become ruling the people and dictating to the people what is healthy, what is moral, what is..... They have become no different than the people they used to fight. They are just as militant and as extreme and they have lost what they set out innocently to do.
