A-Town, I'm talking 2nd half Bush term, where a lot of D's were criticizing the Iraq invasion. That's when he started talking crazy and hanging out with the right wing crazies . He constantly supports ugly rightist pro-military stuff and stuff with guns on his facebook, like 2nd amendment solutions, so you see where Trump gets his rhetoric. Really it has nothing to do with Trump (agree Hillary is more pro-military) but Curt's just down the rabbit hole with all the nut jobs and crazies who really only see and hear what reinforces their angry beliefs.
Carlton may have always been a bizzaro conspiracy theorist, don't know. Curt didn't used to be. I think I remember reading that he said he voted for Gore in 2000.
