Someone who was raised in a conservative family and was 18 in 1964 (there were a handful of states which already allowed 18 year-olds to vote prior to the passage of the 26th Amendment), and simply copied their parents’ vote. However, they were exposed and converted to liberal/countercultural ideas at college, so that by the time 1972 came they voted for McGovern.

That's basically Hillary Clinton's political journey as a young woman, although she wasn't old enough to vote in 1964
