“Those citizens being over the age of 50, and less prone to storming city halls to make news and get their way”
But they still vote, and they vote crazy!
A lot of Old School Democrats still vote the full ticket, as though this was the same Dem party they grew up with some 40 years ago. They are emotionally locked in, almost like belonging to a certain religion or sect.
My Dad was that way till his death at 84 y/o.
He defended his loyalty by bring up things the Dems stood for in the 1950’s and 60’s. At that point, unquestioning allegiance is baked in the cake.
