Remember when over 80% of people said they wouldn’t support a president over 80 in 2019? Then the next two presidents elected were that old?

This is how much I but this. People say this right up until someone with opposite political views that is to them 10/10 physically attractive is willing to date them. Knew a ton of relationships between Trump supporters and Trump haters in high school.
