About a white rural voter...

[mopinko]

51. i have 1 trumpkin in my life. ex bf.

met in '15 when this whole thing was a joke. i was the other woman.
he doesnt have a racist bone is his bone either. he collects winter coats, makes go bags, and hands them out under the bridges in the middle of the night when it gets below zero. lives in a mexican hood, and loves it.
he's as decent a man as i know.

he was a bernie fan. and we know they were targeted.
he is likewise very intelligent. a defrocked laywer. for growing weed. his life was one long hustle, still paying student loans on a gold plated sheepskin he only got to use for a few yrs.
the lady is a barely treated bipolar. i have axis 1 ppl in my life. they're hard to love. and if you dont draw a line and say- this much and no more- you lose yourself. i never thought of him as a cheater.

we split up 1/20. hadnt seen him til recently. i know a lot of his friends, and none of them speak to him any more. i almost feel responsible, cuz i know if i dont kick him out, he doesnt fall all the way down that hole.
but he seems in a good space. he's still working mostly remote, he isnt the ball of stress he was. we had too much catching up to do to get into any of that. but 1 friend told me to tell him to call. said he would, but i figured he wouldnt so i poked his friend to do so, him, he'll talk to.

i dont think ppl can keep up that nonsense unless they are in a steady state of stress. he seemed at peace, and got much healthier. not sure if i'll see him again, but our paths do cross.
he's used to being the smartest guy in the room, but he knew if i was in the room, it was even, at best. he also knows i walk the walk. he respects me. i think if anyone can reach him, i can.
were good friends, an old pair of shoes.
i have hope. i'll let y'all know.
