Peer Pressure

I knew an elderly southern gentleman, in the Carolinas. Lifetime Republican, active in the party, was on a first name basis with names you would know. Late in his life, he supported and voted for Obama.

Next thing you know, he was ostracized. Stopped getting invited to parties. Phone calls not returned. It was sad. Eventually it got to him and he voted for Trump. Because he had to.
