36. I found a high school drop out hippie type had turned super MAGAT

He is now super anti-abortion, yet he certainly wasn't that way in high school.

But I did connect with a HS friend, and she hasn't changed a bit, so that's a good thing. She is still a proud former hippie..LOL
My family and I moved away a few years after I graduated and I lost contact with everyone. I am also in a HS class group. It's kinda fun to see how people have changed. Most former classmates leave politics off their pages. I have stuff on mine because of volunteer work I do for the Democratic Party. (However, I don't post negative memes about Trump etc..)

The HS drop out guy is not in the HS class group.
