We like some of the same books and authors, but never agreed on politics. From things he said, it seemed he did not vote for Trump in the last two elections. He certainly did not vote for the Democrat. But this election he is voting for Trump. Enthusiastically.
When we spoke he was parroting Trump's lies about President Biden, about VP Harris, and despite his comfortable suburban life is willing to say the country is a disaster with 10 million illegal aliens killing Americans.
Like his hero, this Trump voter dodged the draft. He did it more artfully than Bone Spur Deferments, but he, like so many Trump lovers, is a Never-servative. He and Trump and other rich kids stayed home. Poor kids went in their places.
Thirty years ago the professor felt a little bad about dodging the draft. Not now. He has been justified by his orange god.
In 2016, I met a Trump voter with a 12-car garage. Also a draft dodger.
