Excellent article on Politico today:
I was educated a Democrat from my boyhood,” a Republican delegate confided to his colleagues at Iowa’s constitutional convention in 1857. “Faithfully, I did adhere to that party until I could no longer act with it. Many things did I condemn ere I left that party, for my love of party was strong. And when I did, at last, feel compelled to separate from my old Democratic friends, it was like tearing myself away from old home associations.”
As often seems the case today, American politics in the 1850s were nearly all-consuming and stubbornly tribal. So it was hard—and bitterly so—for hundreds of thousands of Northern Democrats to abandon the political organization that had long formed the backbone of their civic identity. Yet they came over the course of a decade to believe that the Jacksonian Democratic Party had degenerated into something thoroughly autocratic and corrupt. It had fallen so deeply in the thrall of the Slave Power that it posed an existential threat to American democracy.
Placing the sanctity of the nation above the narrow bonds of party, these Democrats joined in common cause with former Whig antagonists in the epic struggle to save the United States from its own darker instincts.
Today, a small but influential cadre of Republican elected officials, strategists and policy experts faces a similar choice. Heirs of Ronald Reagan, they have grown to believe that their party has also degenerated into something ugly and undemocratic—hostile to science and fact, rooted in an angry spirit of racial and ethnic nationalism, enamored of foreign strongmen and hostile to American institutions, and so fundamentally estranged from the nation’s founding values that it poses an existential threat to American democracy.

The Republican party are looking the other way to the ballooning debt and deficit (which they would have shouted about until they dropped if the Democrats did the same) which up until recently was at the core of who they were.
They now seemingly don't give a gooseberry fool about that and just care about tax cuts for the rich and screwing the poor and middle class even more than they used to.
Anyone who isn't part of the top 1% and is voting for Trump is willingly voting against their own self interest and doing so with a smile on their face because their team is winning and that's all they care about.
I can foresee a time in the not distant future when we have a situation with 95% of the country having almost nothing and the 5% own pretty much everything and the republican voters will still vote Republican and claim trickle down will eventually work if they just give the rich enough money.
They have been thoroughly brainwashed and just can't even begin to see just how insane the trickle down idea is.
