If they are in NJ they are in the process of being scared right.
My daughter moved home & quit her NYC job. She has a new job in NJ because she was afraid to remain in NYC. My son’s company (finance related) is telecommuting into 2021. They may downsize the office space and remain as mostly telecommuting from here on.
The violence near city hall, the increased crime rates, all albatrosses hanging on leftist necks. Life in NY/NJ has undergone a sea change and IMO we will not know how it has affected people’s political opinions until the vote is in. My elderly aunt in Brooklyn had some Democrat friends. She always called them out since she is an avid Trump supporter. Now her friends are agreeing with her.
Anecdotal but maybe a window on the change taking place due to the murders of the elderly in nursing homes, the arbitrary & capricious, unscientific assault on our liberty & economic health by the Democrats in charge. Let me not even start on DeBlasio who is destroying NYC single handedly.

The reason I’ve always voted GOP since 9/11* is because the alternative is Loony Tunes Democrats. If a sizeable contingent of middle-of-the-road Democrats and independents has the same epiphany in 2020 due to Democratic incompetence in the tristate area re the coronavirus and deliberate malfeasance via active support for left-wing arsonists, murderers and looters, I’ll be thrilled. But the poll numbers are not encouraging. Nonetheless, your anecdote is a ray of sunshine.

* I blamed 9/11 on Clinton bombing empty tents instead of killing bin Laden in a mosque when he had the chance. Before that, I was a right-wing Democrat along the lines of Georgia’s late Zell Miller, who left us 2 years ago.
