Had a random call with someone who used to be the dearest of friends.

Great call for 20 minutes.

Then came MAGA.

I plainly asked, "Tell me 1 thing he could do to lose your vote."

After a pause, he seriously said, "I'll have to get back to you on that."

Definitely not a cult.
This guy is the one that cuts the deepest.

Our wives were friends.
Our kids were friends.
We're both religious Jews.
We golfed.
We liked the same humor.
Knew all the same lines to all the same movies.

Sure, even though he WORKED ON AL GORE'S 2000 CAMPAIGN, as he aged, and as he'd say "started to pay taxes," he became very conservative. But it never stood in the way, really.

And then came MAGA.

And then the formerly-fun, family dinners together weren't fun.

And then no amount of lines from Caddyshack could make an enjoyable round.

And then his Judaism took a back seat to his "patriotism."

Now, he was comfortable saying the things he kept inside before.

I guess they were there already.

I guess he was the same guy as before.

But he's gone now, and I miss my friend.
