I always liked Don..never heard anything negative about him until the election of 2016. I was working with the American Military in Alaska(Canadian Soldier here), I thought the US election cycle was some kind of sick joke ( Trump vs Clinton) but once I started talking to the American troops they were fucking die hard about how legit he was. No looking back!!! God speed pedes.

For me, it was when he said "I don't have time for total political correctness" or something along those lines. I was 16 & that instantly got my attention. Big Don is everything I've ever wanted in a President. FOUR MORE YEARS 🇺🇲
The U.S. military as a population is more conservative than the general public. We have to base our decisions on the analysis of the facts. No time for emotional lines of reasoning in our profession. This tends to make most conservative. You'll also find more hostility towards the Democrats from the military ranks than you would from the non military population.
I anticipate that among the old military who are still in, people are planning to retire rather than serve Beijing Biden and Harris. Out of those that remain, expect the corruption to accelerate exponentially. The old military "died" a long time ago and became corrupted. That corruption accelerated under Obama, and will once again accelerate under the Biden Regime.
The higher the corruption, the lower the discipline. The lower the discipline, the lower the troop moral, the more disciplinary issues arise, and the greater the chances of losing a war. This election theft screwed us more than people could imagine.

For me it was around the same time I got banned from reddit. I always had a bit of weird views (my stance on how to solve the whole "black crisis" being something I thoroughly enjoy going into great detail about).
I remember a few years ago I made a post on their unpopular opinion section discussing the fact that the whole african american "systematic racism" and "inequality" could be solved easily if there were laws in place to encourage men to stay around with their children instead of abandoning them, like if they decreased the $ given to single mothers and increased it for couples. At the time the thing was super polarizing there, as although I got like 50,000 downvotes from it I was also being given their "awards" like crazy (if I remember right I had like 8 full years of premium just from that), with many of the responses being "agreed, you've taken a big issue in society and solved it with an easy to implement solution" or "gtfo racist".
About 8hrs after I posted the thing, I received 2 emails: one because I was banned from the actual subreddit for targeted harassment towards a group, and the other because I was site-wide banned for the post as well. Once that happened, I kinda started to realize that these people don't actually care about solutions and only want to continue to bitch about problems, which instantly made me a fan of Trump's "NO-BS" attitude.
The summer of '16 was what made me become a Trumper. Once a rank-and-file Democrat that looked forward to voting for Hillary, I went through a spiritual journey with many redpills along the way. San Jose Trump rally violence, The Pulse shooting, how the left acted so much like a certain narcissistic abuser I was dealing with at the time, it all changed me. And I will never go back.
