I've seen this video before, and I believe this woman is from Kentucky (or it may be West Virginia). She is certainly from an Appalachian state. At any rate, she almost certainly voted for McCain in the general election that year, and has gone Republican in every election since. She is precisely the kind of voter who would be a staunch Trumpist, and supports him enthusiastically. Prior to 2008, I think it's reasonable to believe that she voted for John Kerry (Appalachia was one of the few regions of the country where Obama did noticeably worse than Kerry), Al Gore, and Bill Clinton twice. She was probably also a Dukakis, Mondale, and Carter voter as well. This is assuming she is around the same age as Susan Sarandon-who is her complete political opposite, as she is a staunch progressive and Bernie Sanders supporter.
If that redneck woman is indeed from Kentucky or West Virginia, she definitely voted for "uncommitted" or for the convicted criminal, respectively, in the primary and for Willard in the general.
In 2016, so tells me my gut, she still supported Hillary in the primary. Keep in mind that 212,534 Kentuckians and 86,914 West Virginians gave Hillary their votes; those people have to exist and dwell somewhere, even if you have never spotted such specimens yet. Even if she denied Hillary her love, she would in my estimation still have preferred "uncommitted" or Paul T. Farrell, respectively, to Bernie.
But even if that redneck woman supported Hillary in the primary, I assume she has nevertheless voted for Trump in the general.
For 2020, however, it is a bit more complicated; without any doubt, she voted for Trump in the general election again, but it's hard to tell if she had cast a ballot in the primaries at all.
If she lives in Kentucky, she either voted for "uncommitted" or not at all, providing she left the Democratic Party. As the Kentucky GOP holds closed primaries, she wasn't eligible to vote in that primary, and I don't think she joined the GOP just for the sake of Trump.
If she lives in West Virginia, it's too hard to tell for me if she cast a ballot for Trump or for the Democrats; if she did for the latter, she supported David Lee Rice.
