For Rogers supporters—including many Republicans and former Democrats—the message is that this election is not simply about party loyalty. It is about common sense, individual freedom, and resisting the expansion of government into everyday life.

Fucking wild. The Republican capacity for self-delusion will be studied for decades.

"I believe government should be small..."

Billions of dollars in new deficit spending.

"...and support individual freedom..."

Bans on women's choice and adult gender affirming care.

"...and not intrude on everyday life..."

Masked government agents roaming the streets and accosting people without probably cause.

"...and that's why I'm voting for Republicans!"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KSLM_(AM)

KSLM (1220 kHz) is an AM radio station licensed to serve Salem, Oregon, United States. ... KSLM broadcasts a conservative talk radio format.

The story came from the Salem Radio Network, which is not based in or focused on Salem, Oregon, but a part of the Salem Media Group out of Texas.

The founders of Salem Communications support various religious causes, and are noted for their role in spreading politically conservative opinion to areas dependent on radio for current events information.

So that explains why this story doesn't seem to have any background information on the "Democrat" or interrogate the idea that Republicans are voting for personal freedom.

Kick them out, shame them
