It’s easy to explain. You and I are critical thinkers who do our own research and are not easily swayed. As for her, she herself said that she didn’t do any research, but was influenced by her family:
But Hemphill said she usually votes for whoever her mostly Republican-supporting family recommends. Her family, drawn to Trump’s rallies and messaging, drew Hemphill in as well.
And boy that influence of family can be strong. It was funny because I was talking to my mom one day about — at the time — the possibility of Biden stepping down and I just said, “boy, isn’t all this stuff about Biden crazy!?” without even thinking she had a different view and she (fellow Democrat) goes, “Yeah, I can’t believe they’re trying to force him to step down!” I was like, “Aw shit, hold on… I think you and I disagree on that…” and within 5 minutes she at least had the capacity to understand the points and almost immediately switched in agreement. But it’s hard to tell if that’s because I made a strong case or if she just blindly trusts me… For Republican families who are even more patriarchal, that shit can be even worse.
