Funny stuff ^^^^
The exchange student from my senior year in 1972-73 is a Facebook friend and he came from Turkey. He now lives in Nice, France, having had a global career. He came to a class reunion this past summer. He is a regular poster on internal Turkish politics and is anti-Erdogan, along with being very anti-refugee as he can clearly see what it is doing to Europe. In short, he is one of the most well-informed people I know and is also very conservative, even posting pro-Trump pieces occasionally. I can't say if this is because of his one-year dip into middle America small-town life or not. But it certainly didn't hurt...
Nice got a real good dose of the effects of Islamic immigration this Summer, about a month after I was there this year. I probably passed that section of the Promenade de Anglais a dozen times in the week I was there, and I spent a lot of time a klick or two west of the section where the truck attack occurred.
