My Trump voting neighbor is "never going to vote again" (for a presidential candidate) [View all]

She is in her mid 70s and her son has worked for the State Department for years. She is angry.

I'm guessing she is philosophically unable to vote for a Democrat and now unwilling to vote for a Republican - because they cannot be trusted. She is religious ( where critical thinking is heavily discouraged ) so she has a long history of accepting/believing whatever she hears repeated over and over. As a result she is unable to recognize a con man or liar. She is the perfect mark (target) for Trumpy politicians, aka, Republicans.
