I haven’t spoken to that particular friend since the end of the last Millennium. He was a Reagan Republican (and fan of Thatcher, IIRC), and an intelligent, thoughtful fellow … if you don’t consider that an oxymoron. I should look him up and find out if he has devolved along with the Republican Party for the past 30 years, or if he reviles Trump and the current GOP as much as he should do.
