Describe the likely political views of the previous hypothetical person

[Torie]

Where was this guy when he converted to Southern Baptist? SF? Boston? Really? That curve ball makes it near impossible to guess where his head is at.

[TDAS04]

It’s supposed to be challenging.  Take a guess.

Edit: I added an extra hint.

This person is a Republican, by the way that person I described who’s married to a Black Muslim and works at the VA is a Trump supporting Republican, and the reason I know this is because she’s my Aunt.

That was based on one of my real-life friends. We have a mutual dislike of the GOP establishment and the Religious Right, but somewhat disagree on other things. He did not support Sanders or Clinton in 2016, nor did he vote in the general election.
