I was duped even into campaigning for him. I've publicly and humiliatingly apologize therefor. What got me was that I bought into his saying that since he grew up under socialism, he knew its dangers and would fight against it. What a sucker I was.
You’re forgiven — many were duped. It’s interesting to me how actor/politicians’ movie personae color voter perceptions. Ahnuld was supposedly the Terminator while Ronald Reagan was categorized by liberals with his Bedtime for Bonzo character. I think we all have noted the vast difference in their real-life behavior.
