    I certainly wouldn’t be voting for Trump since i have the rare human ability of noticing when someone has lied to my face thousands of times in the most absurd, lazy, and inconsistent manner possible.

    My dad was a Republican and a military man who i respected immensely, so I could’ve seen myself going that route, but that route in my mind was “fiscally conservative” and not “socially conservative”, but I haven’t seen any fiscal responsibility from that party outside of implementing cuts to offset massive tax break handouts for billionaires, and there’s instead an extremely unhealthy emphasis on the latter.

    Come to think of it i don’t think i even came across politics much during my childhood years with Internet, it was still web forums mainly and political web forums sounds as boring now as it did then. (though It’s kinda weird that i feel that way and still spend most of my time on lemmy discussing politics rather than any other topics)

        I grew up in rural farm country where they constantly talked about distrusting rich city folk because they don’t understand country folk and hated Russia because of the cold war. I have no idea how they all shifted to Russia loving MAGA idiots. Maybe they just absorb whatever the current propaganda is and don’t actually have personal beliefs.
