I'm not sure this guy is stupid enough to be a Trump supporter. He's probably just racist and got caught up in the grifting

I never voted for trump and have not voted for a republican in a long time (if your old enough at one time you could actually have the stray decent one. Especially if the democrat was particualar slimey or machine) often wondered how hitler had happened. I never in my wildedst imagination thought I would get a front row seat to see exactly how it had.

better late than never, but this was a really awful thing to be late at realizing

Nah. Fuckem. Only "now realized" because the grift is hurting them more than the people they hate.
