I disavowed a band I used to love as a kid when I saw their lead singer post "the best" Trump video ever. He and his minion of fans were stoically expressing how Trump's heart, though his words and actions were inappropriate and wrong, was really in the right place. My heart broke and I saw so many memories of my youth shattered in a single post. Suffice it to say that I un-followed his Facebook page, deleted his play lists, and loaded up some Nine Inch Nails to fill his place. I knew he was conservative, and like your barber, he had expressed reservations and even a little disdain regarding Trump. Unfortunately, there is obviously nothing so evil on this earth as a Democrat vying for the White House. Quite the deflating experience.
