I do suspect there’s a pretty decent sized chunk who bought into that “Republicans are good for the economy” line of bullshit DECADES ago and have just spent the intervening time hell bent on not giving anything political even the tiniest iota of thought.

“I’ve been a conservative because I believe the Regan trickle down economics works.”

My old coworker. I literally said “my guy we’ve had fifty goddamn years to show that is complete bullshit. How many more decades do we need to try it for you to realize it doesn’t work?”

As you said, he just spent 0 time thinking about it.

But to be honest, it does work for him in a way… His parents were wealthy and so he has lived his life as a janitor and a doorman and will still be able to retire into a nice house with a ton of inheritance money…
