Voted for both of them in their respective primaries and GEs.

If Greene’s primary opponents and general election opponent were all men, I guess someone who always votes for women.

An avowed (and radical) feminist, this voter typically leans to the GOP but identifies formally as an Independent, voting for Romney in 2012. In 2016, wanted to elect the first female president, and settled on Clinton (only because Trump was male and because of Access Hollywood, Johnson was male and Stein was even more liberal than Clinton). However, she got completely transfixed with Trump during his presidency, becoming a committed member of his cult, and was enthusiased by Marjorie Taylor Greene's radically pro-Trump rhetoric (and the fact that Greene was a woman), deciding to vote for her.

Eh...there are likely quite a number of these in my district. It's not uncommon here for a third or more of Democrats who are primary voters to pull a GOP primary ballot due to downballot dominance and in order to have a say in who represents them (remember that sans pandemic in GA, presidential primaries are separate from local/state primaries). This means that usually around 20% of GOP primary voters in the 14th are actually Democrats. You see them by the ton in voter files: people who consistently vote in D presidential primaries and R state/local primaries.

Plenty of voters in general don't have a good idea of how hopeless many elections are, and so an otherwise "well-informed" Democrat winds up voting for the most extreme candidate thinking "they'll be easier to beat in the GE" (and of course there are plenty of other Democrats - many more - who strategically vote for the most moderate GOP candidate in primaries; Greene would've won by 2:1 or more if not for this type of Democrat strategically crashing the primary process per usual).

Probably someone who viewed Trump as insufficiently conservative in 2016, but came around in 2020.
