This ain't your daddy's democrat party.

That is indeed true but one wonders if a lot of the oldtimers realize it. I know a guy (my gunsmith) whose father still thinks that things are the same and that the Democrat Party is what it always was. And he resists being educated on the matter.

No they don't and that is the sad part about it. Like you I know some older folk who continue to vote Democrat because that is what their families have always done. Ironically a number of these folk don't use modern technology (computers, email, smart phones) and many still watch the network evening news.
