So what you're saying is mentally they were already republicans in that they had the "fuck you I got mine" mindset.

Yes, unfortunately, a lot of the rhetoric resonated with them. I pondered trying to reason them out of it. After poking around a bit, it seems like it's part of their social integration. They took a chance, made it in, and worked hard for what they had. It was like a survival instinct to beat out the competition without empathy. I don't even know how to argue against that.
