I was raised by a Roosevelt Mom, my Dad never did discuss politics with me, but he was in the 11th Armored with Patton’s 3rd Army at the Bulge..
(he hated Nazis and cold weather).
I wound up being a Nixon then Reagan, now TRUMP Republican.
My Mom used to tell me how EVIL Republicans were, logic, policy, and common sense did not enter into it.
Guess that’s why I became a CONSERVATIVE.
Interesting. My dad’s family was Republican since the
start of the Civil War....from So Missouri, no less.
However, apparently my dad must not have given much
thought to politics as a youth. In 1944 he was in the
mountain jungles of Leyte with the 11th Airborne Div
fighting the Japanese. Somebody told him he could vote
even tho he was 20 yrs old. He signed on as a Democrat but
only voted for one Democrat the next 70 years, the
balance of his life. He was always a conservative but
wouldn’t change party affiliation.
The Democrat he voted for? The local CA congressman Harold
“Bizz” Johnson, a good agriculture guy and old school
Dem.
