Like a football fan who cheers for a player because he is playing for their team rather than because they are a fan of them personally. I think on how there were Bengals fans who suddenly liked James Harrison the second he put on a Bengals uniform, after thinking he was a juiced up cheapshotter playing on a team of scumbag cheaters for a decade.
Yes, this has been my experience as well. I've mentioned this before, but living in Oklahoma I have conversed with people who have the mentality of "I would vote for anyone as long as they aren't a goddamned Democrat." My MIL is this way, as much as I love her. She votes straight ticket Republican, doesn't care what they stand for or what they've done. As long as they aren't a Democrat.
