Wife's Aunt and Uncle are 80. He's a retired Army Colonel. They were trumpers through and through until Jan 6, and they were out on trump. Even got into it with my father in law (also vet albeit navy).
I think there are people like that, that see a traditional chud like Liz Cheney, saying, this guy is so bad that even I am going to support his opponent. I'm not saying that liz cheney changed their mind but they are of the same mindset. If there weren't traditional pubs speaking out, who knows if they change their minds
