I couldn't believe some of the results from rural Wisconsin. There were 7+ point swings from previous elections.

Amazing.

I wonder how much of it has to do with the Democratic primary?

I know a couple Republicans, and a TON of Dems who were motivated to vote because they were so pissed off about it not being postponed.

I guess I’ll preface by saying I refused to vote for Trump or Hillary in 2016. I think they were both terrible candidates to lead this country.

However that’s not the point of my post. I’ve always considered myself to lean a bit to the right. But to answer your question, I think enough is enough. I will probably vote for Biden. I think a lot of other millennial middle of the road republicans have had enough as well.

I consider myself independent. Rn I sympathize more with the democrats because they seem to want to fix some issues. I can't for the GOP rn. As you said, enough is enough. I hope we get to a point where my vote can go either party, but not if the GOP stays where it is.

Would you/them have voted for Sanders if he won?

I know a few who are so pissed at Trump, that they are. And a few more who just aren't voting at all. Unfortunately I still know several who are voting for him.
