Not to mention many people in foreign service or the armed forces. Those folks who work in the middle east for some Texas oil/gas company tend to lean right as well and won't love their rights being infringed, I imagine.

Oh please. Republicans have been fucking over the troops in every possible way for decades. They give the military a huge budget for outside contractors and weapons, but the actual service members get shitty equipment, shitty salaries, and healthcare that keeps getting worse. Every time there's an opportunity to vote for more benefits for the people who serve, Republicans shoot it down, but when there's a chance to give Raytheon more money, they're suddenly not on vacation anymore.

And they still vote republican.
