My mother used to be a liberal voter. Twenty years ago she would have voted for Obama, but she didn’t vote for him.
My best friend is from a big Irish Catholic Roosevelt-Kennedy Democrat family. Used to completely swallow the liberal media narrative but now she doesn’t. Didn’t vote for Obama.
Me, I used to vote Democrat in my youth. I wish I could say I’m no longer a fool, but I’ve pulled the lever for Republicans too many times since.
As I stated earlier, thinking people change. You described intelligent thinking people, in my opinion.
