Well, they’re swing state voters. I’ve never heard any of them call Bernie a socialist. But two of them are women and both like Bernie. But both would describe themselves more as Libertarians or Independents. But they’ve consistently voted Trump with the men around them.

The other couple definitely wanted to vote for him in 2016, they were largely democrats until then and switched “Republican” that year, and voted under the “Trump is an outsider and a businessman” trope. They’ve just been doubling down every election since then (wife is a foreign born Latina too which yes, a head scratcher (she’s been spending time outside the US since the election and I really think they bought the “just the bad Latinos” bullshit which I thought they were smarter than that. Sad.).

And even the Christ is King and the end is nigh household says Bernie is a “good guy” and a shame “established demoRATS” wouldn’t let him run.

Also, I worked in construction, largely electricians I’m referring to, so they have a few more brain cells than say an Iron Worker or Laborers (those are the loud t-shirt wearing stereotype Trump voters), and the Trump guys liked Bernie too because he’s “not a corrupt democrat” and they saw him as an outsider. They hate the banks and loved how he trash talked them.

All of those groups will stop you if you say “but Bernie” and go “no woah yeah he’s ok I’d have voted for him” Again these are swing state Trumpers. I also know a friend’s brother, farmer married to a European wife, who would probably scream socialist. So certainly you’re right some of them are just brain rotted beyond repair. And I’ve talked to plenty of drunk Trump voters male and female who I’m not sure how they put their shoes on in the morning much less if they could even define what socialist means.
