Yes, definitely. That's what democracy is, really. What it should be. Can't hate democracy, and also hate that Trumpers get to vote. They should all vote, every single one of them. Everyone should vote.
People want to make hay every time a politician "flip flops" or "evolves". Yes, sometimes it's slimy. But hey, isn't that what we want, in general? Politicians that cater to us? Tell us what we want to hear, to get re-elected? Okay. Doing is a distinct matter from saying, of course...
Well, there's democracy and then there's democracy.
US democracy is when the political parties tailor the people to their policies. Because they KNOW they're going to win.
What are the chances that the Reps and Dems will not will 95% of the seats at the next election? Whatever election. It's only two parties. Always only two parties.
Other countries have proper democracy where people's votes count and like the AfD in Germany which came from nowhere and became the third party within a decade.
