    I have a douchebag friend. We have a lot in common. We’re both like playing pinball. We both get migraines, and we both have chronic pain. Both have families that we love a lot. We’re both older and retired. I genuinely like him.

    He posts a lot of shit on Facebook “owning” liberals. I don’t think it suits him, but I think he’s caught up in the moment, and I think his pain and migraines get to him a bit.

    I believe he’s too good a man to stay on this track, and I’m going to be there when he realizes it. And I’ll give him a hug and tell him I understand.

    My sister has a childhood best friend that she had been through everything with, including him coming out as gay, and in her 50s her friend started supporting Trump. Again, I don’t think it suits him, he’s a sweet guy, but she just quit a relationship of 40 years because of that.

    We gotta look inside people. They have s lot of reasons for what they do.
