Bush 1 got nearly 70% of the vote in Florida in 1988, FYI.

Myself.

By the way, IIRC, Bush carried Florida something like 61-39, not 70-30.

Also, IIRC, there were no 3rd party choices on Florida's ballot that year.  If there were, I was considering voting for Ron Paul.

A moderately conservative lite-Dixiecrat who grew more right-wing over time.

The standard case of the White Southern Male or Female or were solid democrats however grew more republican leaning over time. By the time of full social liberalism the Democrats held and the full moralism the Republicans tried to undertake around the 2000-2006 this voter has grown disaffected with the Democrats and votes for Bush in 2004. This leads up to voting for trump in 2016. The most likely location is the formerly democratic North Florida and this voter could be from 46 and over to say 75.

Typical angry white man. Had some sense when he was younger, but the election of Barack Obama combined with the fact that whites are losing the numerical majority in America turned him into an extreme reactionary conservative who calls every man he knows a cuck.

This sounds right, although the youngest voter in this situation would be at least 47

Yep, although I wonder how much the decline of unions and the loss of the working man's associating with the Democrats also contributed to this.

Thanks for wasting that little bit of my time with your hyperbolic vomit.

Ironically, this kind of dismissal of the real issues faced by whites in favor of calling them racist is driving them away from democrats and (in some extreme cases) towards the positions you outline.
