D_F’s entire political philosophy is the result of his father and most of his father’s family being Republican, he’s admitted this. There’s zero real independent thought or analysis going on because in his mind to rebel against the GOP allegiance is to reject the closest people to him. It’s pure local sport’s team / gang mentality, it’s Hatfield / McCoy, Montague / Capulet. Rejecting what the GOP has become would literally be viewed as a family betrayal.
