8. It took trump to get a friend to vote for a Democrat for the first time ever.

Just one in my circle of friends voted for trump last cycle. (all in my circle were high school friends from the early 80s-- Dungeons and Dragons being our common denominator back in the day). He's our token libertarian and said he voted for trump for two reasons only: he's not a Democrat and he 'triggers' Democrats (there's a reason we all avoid talking politics when we get together).

Last summer (2019) he stated out of no where that he's "not voting for trump next go around because he's in it only for himself..." I/we could have pressed him for more, but why question these little miracles? He's holding his nose and voting for Biden (his words) and seems to hate Donny more than anyone else I know.

Not a bad turnaround for a less-than-literate redneck who got caught up in the hate radio craze of the nineties and never looked back. It took trump to get him to vote for a Democrat for the first time in his life.
