My Best Friend is a Trump Supporter

9. Oh, and another thing, I have not evolved

I have been a dye in the wool Liberal for my entire life.

I supported Eugene McCarthy in 1968. I demonstrated against the war and for civil Rights. I knocked on doors for George McGovern in 1972. I've been a union organizer and activist for 35 years.

I am the Chairman of my Democratic Ward Committee and I have attended the Mass. State Convention every 2 years for 24 years.

I have always been consistent in my beliefs. Pro-Gay rights, Affirmative Action, Pro-immigrant (I married an Asian immigrant).

I probably represent what my friend hates, although he never minded using my connections to get a leg up for himsef or his family. Things like getting into the union apprentice program or cutting through some red tape for government assistance. By the way, he's helped me more than the other way around.

But to your point, my Father was an Administrative Assistant to Senator Ed Brooke (R-Mass.), so I was brought up learning politics and tolerance and constituent service. I don't believe I have changed my political beliefs an iota since I was 16 years old (50 years ago). in fact, most of the people I know think I am more Liberal.
