Your Average Trump Voter

I have to admit that I don’t know a lot of people who voted for Donald Trump. Mostly, they think the president is nothing but a buffoon in a suit. But one of my best friends is one of those oddballs who believes in conspiracy theories, loves Trump, and hates Biden and Harris with a passion.

Jack is 67 years of age, an army vet with an honorable discharge, and lamentably, little knowledge of anything academic. Clearly, he didn’t pay attention in school. I took a sample citizenship test with Jack recently. He failed miserably. I knew Jack was ignorant. But I didn’t realize to what extent!

Jack is a patriot and four square for America. He favors closed borders without realizing that if America is great, it is open borders that made it that way.

I’ve known Jack for over 30 of his 67 years. We drove a cab from the same garage. In those 30 years, I know Jack has never paid a dime in income tax. I got him a white-collar job after I left that employment in favor of greener pastures. He got himself fired and then dodged his ex-boss when he reached out to Jack to pay his share of the 1099 income he’d paid him.

Jack is receiving some combination of social security and disability. I hope he paid in for 10 years (the requirement for social security) before I knew him. I have my doubts. With regard to his disability payment, Jack runs 2 miles every day. He is a very robust 67 years old.

In a conversation with him yesterday, I mentioned that our president doesn’t even know the words to the national anthem. He disputed that claim. I asked if he’d seen the video of Trump trying to sing along and flubbing the words. He doubted that video existed.

I switched gears and asked if he knew those words. Jack freely admitted he did not. And there’s something else he revealed: While in the army, Jack took a beating from a superior for refusing to go to Vietnam. After getting roughed up, he was dispatched to Germany where Jack alternately cooked eggs for his fellow soldiers — and spent his off-hours trading cartons of cigarettes for blow jobs from German hookers on the strip.

I appreciate Jack for being that “for better or worse” kind of friend from the old neighborhood. We “go back.” I love reminiscing about the old cab-driving days with Jack. He just has so many knucklehead stories from that period in our lives.

In yesterday’s conversation, we discussed Trump’s impending veto of the new stimulus relief act. Predictably, he did not understand that if Trump vetoes the bill, a 2/3 majority vote in favor of that bill in both houses, would effectively negate Trump’s veto. And he did not know that way over that 2/3 majority had already voted “yea” on the bill in both houses.

Ultimately, Jack is an idiot who thinks he knows everything — but actually knows nothing. Ya know…the poster boy Trumpster. There are 75 million in the USA. In the words of Yakov Smirnoff, “what a country.”

Hopefully, they won’t take out their guns and cause a civil war in the next 27 days. Like their hero, they're not fit to run a nation. Of that, I have no doubt.
