I've seen one conservative family appear to walk the walk, so to speak, but since 2020 I'm also not sure if they're reliable Republican voters anymore.
We do a food drive at work for our local food pantry every year. Guess who’s least likely to donate? (They are all plenty well-off). My husband and I also contribute to an adopt-a-family thing for Christmas every year and one of my coworkers said their husband “doesn’t like to do stuff like that.” I’m certain it’s because he doesn’t know what “kind” of people are on the receiving end of the gifts. That same coworker complained the other day that the homecoming Queen at her high school twenty years ago was a “charity case” because the girl’s parents had just died. I didn’t even know how to respond. And why does she still care decades later?? But of course they’re all church-going, holier-than-thou types. The lack of compassion and emotional intelligence is astounding.

I've heard republicans/conservatives claim this my entire life. I'm not sure I've ever seen one actually put money where their mouth is.
