Describe a white voter who consistently voted Democrat until 2000. Why did they vote how they did in the past? What caused them to vote Republican? Who did they support recently?

--Nuns and priests who were disgusted with the Clinton scandals.

--Religious conservative Dems in the Deep South who were taken in by Bush's compassionate conservatism and turned off by Clinton's transgressions.

--Most people in West Virginia.

Alabama Indy----

Believe it or not there are a ton of them throughout the United States, and quite a few still vote Democratic to the present day.

So, once we move beyond the thread title, we roll into people that voted Democrat until 2000.

In many Mill Towns and Rural areas of Southern and Eastern Oregon, there were quite a few people that voted overwhelmingly Democratic at a Presidential Level,

If I were to describe this hypothetical voter from my home state, including multiple individuals that I have known for decades, it would be a Middle-Aged former Timber Mill Worker, Logger, or Truck Driver on a "Gyppo Crew", that overwhelmingly supported Democratic economic policies even at the height of the Reagan Recession, that perceived the loss of their jobs in the late '90s/ early '00s as a result of an extremist and radical environmentalist agenda coming from the "Big City Liberals", and saw candidates like Al Gore and John Kerry as simply perpetuating the same policies as Bill Clinton.

Meanwhile, many of them still continue to vote heavily Democratic for US Senate and US House races in Oregon....

Sidenote: the term "big city liberals" is true marketing genius by the GOP.  Anyone ever been to a big city?  Anyone have liberal friends who live in a big city??  LOL, these people are not urban elites, they're not cosmopolitan boogeymen, they don't think they're better than people outside of the city.  They're normal people, often (most times?) struggling to get by, who happen to live in an urban center.  Yet the GOP (in one of my least favorite parts about the party's history) has turned them into these far off and distant "elitists" who hate God's country, and a HUGE portion of Americans have bought into it.

A former Dixiecrat who probably died during the decade or shortly thereafter.
