Let me emphatically disavow any anti-Semitic charge to the word "globalist" in my post -- I meant it in the NAFTA/TPP sense.
It was my personal experience that my right-wing family, etc. were uniquely sympathetic to Bernie because they understood how hard he was getting screwed by corporatist media sources. Right-wing news sources love to point out how crooked the DNC is, and everyone who paid attention understood that Bernie was the target of that and why. Oddly I found that even Foxbrained people came out with nuanced and ideological opinions on Bernie's policy, but respected him as an honest guy. Not so with Biden. But again, small sample size.
I think the thing to remember is that these folks aren't necessarily your average republican, so much as the vanguard of the Kool-Aid drinkers. These are the folks who popularize the right wing radical bullshit that the media then normalizes by splashing them across the screen as if they were a much bigger force in society. They're gulping down Koch and Mercer propaganda directly from their paid mouthpieces and then showing up in the streets giving a reality to the lies they're being fed in a weird kind of right wing consent manufacturing ouroboros.

No worries, I get you.
