[Objective Reality]

The people I'm friends with or socialize with are all religious, and they are all conservative Republicans. The only Dems I know are not religious. This seems to be a major factor these days.

It's the same on the Christian / Gentile side of the aisle. Point out any regular Sunday morning churchgoer, I'll guess Republican. Point out any regular Saturday night clubhopper, I'll guess Democrat. And I'll usually be right on both counts.

2. Senior citizens who don't want to betray FDR.

Now that's an interesting category. I would sort of expect some manner of lingering resentment towards FDR for remaining officially neutral while Hitler was razing the ghettos, and waiting for Hitler to declare war on the U.S. rather than immediately jumping in when the first bombs fell on Britain. Poland, even. But then, he did preside over the majority of the War of the Holocaust, and commit to eradicating Nazism... after Pearl Harbor.

I don't really get the whole FDR thing myself. But they think he was a hero. Even though he didn't bomb the railroads that led to the death camps when he could have. All his good times "Public Works" crap seems to have made quite an impression.
