Something about that generation. My grandfather is 90 and spent most of his life as a Republican, but he went HARD LEFT with Obama and then with Biden.
That seems to have been the case with one ex military octogenarian that we know; i.e., he was very pro-Trump and conservative but now says he’s a “romney republican.” We didn’t give him a hard time because duh.
Dementia? I’ll keep him in my prayers.
Sounds like Barry Goldwater:
“A few years before his death, he addressed establishment Republicans by saying, “Do not associate my name with anything you do. You are extremists, and you’ve hurt the Republican party much more than the Democrats have.” (from Wikipedia)
