I have a Trump supporter as a friend too.

The odd thing is, we are extremely similar in almost every other way. We had the exact same class schedule during school, both of us tend to be reserved, introverted and relatively intelligent. But we are on opposite ends of the political spectrum.
He's not racist, misogynistic or evil in any way. He simply grew up in a conservative family and county.
Some of these Trumpists may be horrible human beings, but there are others who simply have been taught their entire life that republicans are right, democrats are wrong. I've done my best to show him how Trump has lied and failed to live up to his promises, but it's hard to break through a lifetime of indoctrination.
