From openDemocracy’s Editor in Chief: I first met Craig in South Carolina in 2006. He was the anonymous ‘John’ in a story I wrote about discrimination against LGBT people in the US army and wider American society that year. In 2016, he explained to me why he'd decided vote for Donald Trump; last month, he told me he was voting for him again. 

Since this article was posted, however, Craig has changed his mind. His reason are laid out at the end of this piece.
