My dad WAS a republican that didn't watch fox news. A true fiscal conservative.
Then Trump got the nomination in 2016 and he has voted blue ever since.
Actually, I think he might have voted for Obama on the first term too. I remember him being very upset about Palin. "Who the heck is this crazy lady?!"
So yeah, non indoctrinated Republicans at least used to exist. But the ones still holding on in 2024? Must live in heavily conservative areas.
