I suppose some did but there were a lot of die hard FDR democratic socialists post Great Depression and ww2. My parents and grandparents hated Reagan and i remember getting in arguments at school about it with other kids. There was a good amount of polarization in the 80s. I guess my family has always been a lot farther left than most. To me it just seems like the common sense choice.
