That is his opinion.

I'm not even sure if he actually voted but he did tell me he had never voted when it was the first term. And recently said openly he's republican so he has to go with the ticket. (at least for the social circles)

He's so far removed from the skater punk, pizza delivery guy he once was it's crazy. He lives and spends to excess because he can.
He's not cruel to anyone, he tips above normal to service workers, but he's out of touch with his roots in many other ways.
