Irish so not a US voter. Reddit got me following the 2016 election through all the SandersForPresident posts that used to hit all. Never liked Hillary by virtue of being a fan of Christopher Hitchens and I was there when r/politics flipped overnight from a Sanders sub to a Hillary sub. I honestly liked Sanders unfortunately, moreso for the excitement around him and how organic his support was compared to the wicked witch. The way he caved to the DNC cost him some of my respect and I'm a bit more educated on economic matters now so wouldn't touch him.
Didn't closely follow Trump for a while. I fell for the "all Republicans are bad" conditioning I was exposed to through various media so the most I did was looked at some clips from the Republican primaries and stuff. I remember seeing a video on YT that was analysing how Trump speaks and saying why it means he's a psycho or some BS. I forget what the exact context was but my first redpill moment was when I saw Trump speaking for myself and it was so disconnected from what I had heard. He came across so reasonable compared to what I had been told. He has his quirks but just nothing like he was described.
I started following T_D after politics was compromised and found it to be pretty fun and it was so easy to hate Hillary. I stayed up all night here following the election and my honest thought at the time was that I would probably refrain from voting for either party if I was voting. I was kind of up for Trump but not sure if it was to the point where I would have actually voted for him.
Afterwards, the Democrat reaction to his win and muh resistance and all that pretty much immediately converted me to a hardcore Trump supporter. Everything they've done since has only solidified my support. If I was a US voter I would walk through fire and over broken glass to vote for him now.
