I voted for Regan in 1980. But then I took up with a woman who had been a ‘60’s radical and I voted for Wally Mondale in ‘84. What can I say? I was young then.
I hope she was worth it!! :)
I dated a liberal too. But I was 27 and a hardcore conservative by then.
We’d argue but in certain room of the house we’d leave the politics at the door :)
I didn’t need to get hit with a frying pan
I voted for Nixon in 72 and voted Republican ever since. But during the 80’s I was getting married and raising kids and working my tail off. I left politics to the “experts”. After growing up and buying homes and property I started hating taxes. In retrospect, nothing has changed. Loved the music.
I made up for your foolishness. 1984 was my first vote. I was in college and didn’t know about absentee voting. I told my instructors I wasn’t going to be in class on Tuesday so I could go home and vote.
I too had a female interest and asked if she wanted to go for a quick road trip. She did.
I drove 400 miles to vote for Ronald Reagan and am coming up on 33 years of being married to the girl.
