Not an intellectually earnest one, anyways. But there's still a significant number of Blue Dog and Reagan Dems (or their kids) who basically vote Republican.
There's not a lot of them these days. But about 7-10% of the Democrat electorate still describes itself as conservative. It seems amazing, but it's true - and usually it's for reasons of local politics, tradition or inertia.
I'm working with a guy right now (In California, mind you), who is almost sixty, white collar and a Democrat, and he hates BLM/Antifa and thinks the people tearing down statues should be shot. He's often alarmed and confused that other Democrats don't feel the same way, as he hasn't gotten the memo on wokeness. It's easy to forget that in the 90s, mainstream Democrats had a significant pro-life contingent and were competing for the most tough on crime policies. A time when Bill Clinton said that if Israel were attacked, he'd get his gun and go defend it. So.
I'm not saying they'll still be around in 10 years. They won't. But they're still like 7% of the electorate.
