I know a couple of guys that are Trump supporters. I love those guys! Not
because they are Trump supporters but because they're smarter and more
accomplished than I and are always available to answer my questions about
anything. I consider them to be an invaluable resource. We just avoid
talking about you-know-who.
OTOH, I knew a couple of ladies that thought Hitler was a wonderful guy.
Mostly, they said he was a pretty good dancer. Of course, those were some
pretty loony broads. The kind you run and hide when you saw them coming.
