My, now late, dad was a WWII vet and felt very strongly about voting so I was brought up that it was a right and a 'sacred duty'. He, like your dad, took me along and let me watch... I don't think he let me touch but even watching was a big deal to me back then. He was an old style Republican (I came to think of him as a RINO with the party's shift into crazytown) who HATED what 'his' party became, voted mostly for Democrats after Ford, and absolutely couldn't stand Trump and never missed a chance to let me know when we talked.
I have a friend (in her late 50s) that I've been bugging for years to register. Seeing Trump running she was so disgusted that she finally registered, voted and is even now somewhat active and very outspoken against him and the GOP. Her husband is retired Navy so she's especially outspoken on those issues. She gone from zero to 150mph and I'm loving it.
