I didn't say much.
My suspicion is he is heavily anti-DEI, but he knows it's politically incorrect, at least with me.

He didn't understand why a neighbor who has been friends with him a long time came over and gave him holy hell for putting up a Trump sign. To myself, I thought, good for the neighbor. Plus, this is a super red state, so I just said, well neither of our votes really matters here anyway.

I do want so badly to ask him where the fuck the $1.99 gas is. (3.10 today) and call him a dumb fuck for ever thinking it will be 1.99 again.
