Even the ones that claim they're voting Republican to support the party rather than to support Trump will still be complicit in enabling him. Someone as vile as Trump should stand no chance of becoming President. Hell, someone as vile as him shouldn't have even stood a chance to become the nominee of a major political party.
Regardless of what people think about Hillary, there is no way anyone who isn't a bigot or as dumb as a rock can argue that she is somehow the worse choice and voting for Trump is therefore justified.

This was not a "best friend" or even a friend. This was someone you'd hang around with when bored

Racism overt , covert or both is so wrong in anyone. Let alone a national figure.

I agree with the other responses here that say your ex-friend has shown you who he really is.
