My wife's Aunt and Uncle are two of the finest people you could ever want to meet, but are die hard 1930's unionist. That also means true blue dems. They are at heart, very conservative, but the "Union" is never wrong. And they always support Democrat candidates. Fortunately, politics are never discussed at the family get togethers, until my wife's cousins (conservative to the extreme) start needling (good naturedly) them on their choice of candidates. No one ever looses their temper and it basically becomes a contest on who can get the biggest laugh.
