I met Americans my age (early 30s) when i was at a Caribbean resort. They were from North Carolina. The topic of US politics and their president came up and they said that they voted Republican but they’re not maga and are against the things Trumps doing.
We were all confused so we asked them to explain further. They said that voting Republican was just local/family/regional tradition and voting Democrat was unthinkable. They then followed that up with something like “at the end of the day, you still have to show up to work the next day, you still have bills to pay, nothing changes”.
The killer was that about 15 or so minutes prior, they talked about how their local society collapsed as a result of a previous hurricane and how FEMA never showed up and then allegedly prevented them from helping out.
