I apologize on behalf of my peoples, we're not all trumptarded.
True story, one of my car biz buds form the way back machine, an amazing auto technician, race car builder and driver*, and even though we didn't work in the same departments for some reason we sort of connected in one of those odd work relationship things, sumbitch always remembered my BD, we kind of reconnected on FB, I looked him up somewhat out of curiosity about how his MS was progressing...and in that area I'd send him funny cartoons, dumb jokes or wacky car related videos..we never really discussed politics when we worked together, and since connecting on FB a few years ago....but I picked up enough form the occasional chit chat to know he leaned into conservatism, I think in his case culture war bs he sort of bought into....
I trial closed him a couple weeks ago with a mild funny cartoon about trump he lol'd and sent something similar back
this morning he'd sent me something and we bantered back and forth...I "broke the ice" and told him the events of yesterday were seriously making me question if that Constitution I swore an oath to still mattered anymore...
He responded with he's always leaned Republican but he was aware that Trump was a drooling moron, but at the election he still felt Trump was the least worst candidate, and went that way.
He confessed it was the first mistake he ever made in his in his life, and that he himself had been starting to wonder since after the inauguration if Trump was actually trying to start WW3.
*He and his Brother Built a Race Car Datsun B210 years ago, he set a land speed record for the class at the Bonneville Salt Flats, when inspecting the car after the run, they were trying to find out why the car was misfiring a bit while setting a land speed record...his car had a dead hole, number 3 cylinder was not igniting...
There you have it.
