I worked in BioPharma for 20-ish years... worked mostly with MD's, PhD's and other engineers.

Not a sub 150 IQ in the house...

So these GOP'ers might not have been typical GOP'ers.

Their main focus was size and power of the fed gov't and taxes... many are immigrants from countries where people tend to worry about their governments...

We have reasonable discussions and at times I feel like I'm making progress with them... socially they're "live and let live" types so no problems with LGBT, race or such things.
