A Marxist-Leninist ideologue who fled Chile for the USSR after the CIA backed coup. After starting a new life in Moscow he 'saw the light' and became a rabid anti communist, who fled to the US after the Cold War ended and became a staunch Republican.

Socially conservative copper miner who came to dislike the environmentalism of Democrats. who became rich working for a U.S. minning company and then moved to the U.S.

How likely do you think it is that an Allende supporter might move to the U.S. in the 70s or 80s, become a smallholder/small business owner, and then have their politics warped into becoming a Republican because of wanting low taxes and less regulation?
