ITT: weirdly a lot of people assuming that Grandpa votes Republican based on nothing besides his age and love of guns
Dude looks and acts exactly like my great grandfather who served in the navy kn WWII. He was a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat and hated Republicans until he died in 2017.
... So was my great grandfather, but he was an old school Southern Democrat, he even voted straight ticket. I'd be willing to bet he wouldn't be fond of modern Democrats.
People forget that the Democrats of the early 1900s aren't the same as today. Remember that Republicans are the party of Lincoln, but I wouldn't be surprised if modern Republicans wanted to bring back slavery.
Is that what the republicans you’ve asked have said?
