66. Reagan convinced me, and started the RepubliCON as patterned badly.
I did not realize early enough what kind of sell-outs RepubliCONs were and are. That racists left Democrats, and moved to be RepubliCONs, and that should have shown they'd sell out to anyone, egregious examples: tobacco, oil, and especially war profiteering.
