I have southeast Asian war refugee family members. They have this idea that Reagan was a great guy because they got refugee status to come to the US back then. They vote straight Republican to this day. They don't know the first thing about any candidate or policy or even the basic layout of the US government. Only concern is taxes and anything that seems to equal "more money in my pocket" and "stay away from the black people." Whenever they see refugee crisis in the news, they tear up because they're triggered by their own horrible suffering. They feel so bad for the refugees.........😑
