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....
