    I was prepared to argue with you on this, but after reading the article, you’re right. It never says he supported trump or voted for him. The closest thing I can see them using for that assumption on their part was that he opposed vaccine mandates in 2021. I understand the venn diagram of people that opposed vaccines and supported trump was almost a perfect circle, but ALMOST doesn’t really say it definitively.

      Him living in a town of 202 people in the Deep South while homeschooling his kids and living in deep poverty is a pretty solid indicator too but he could just as easily be an ultra libertarian or sovereign citizen nut too

      My anti-vax brother voted Hillary in 2016, Biden in 2020, and Harris in 2024.

      But we aren’t white, which is probably the #1 reason why he didn’t just become a fully unhinged conservative.

      Just because someone is a democrat, doesn’t mean they can’t simultaneously hold beliefs rooted in conspiracy theories.
