He had a Trump/Pence sticker on his truck during the 2016 election cycle. A few years later I noticed it had been removed. We had never talked politics before, then one day he just started opening up about is political views. He said he came to the realization that 45 was nothing but a liar and a con man. Unfortunately, he also said he's never voted. I worked the elections for 20 years so I was dismayed by his uninvolvement and tried to get him to come around. He mentioned switching from CNN and Fox to MSNBC so maybe I can yet convince him before 11/5 that this election is about saving our very democracy and we need his vote for Biden. But regardless, conversion to the left is possible and I don't think 45 is winning over any voters outside his cult.
