All of that, from the town I grew up in, to (most) of the older folks in my neighborhood. I just don't even try with them any longer.
Guy down the street is a retired (ex union plumber) on disability who has massive Trump signs and flags all over his house and yard. And constantly rails agains the idea of any sort of social safety net. Dude, you live in a super blue state with great benefits. The cognitive dissonance is just mind bottling. All of them are getting their panties in a twist as the demographics of the neighborhood change (pearl clutching about more brown and black people buying houses when some of the other old white folk move on (die off) and the house gets sold.)
Yep, many times in the past. The last few cycles have solidified me pretty much straight ticket Dem voting, even though I'm registered as independent. Republican? Not for even fucking dogcatcher.
