Let me guess, a fellow New Yorker? Did literally the same thing in 2016, though I admittedly wasn't super enthusiastic about Trump then either. I figured his abrasive personality wouldn't lend itself to winning hearts and minds as Diplomat in Chief, but he's proved me wrong on that front numerous times over these last 4 years.
Oh I knew he'd be popular with the general public, it was foreign diplomacy I was concerned about. I thought his approach wouldn't play with world leaders. Don't get me wrong, I knew the guy could make a deal, but a lot of these career politician types that make it into leadership positions are so far up their own asses about decorum I thought it might cause issues. I was clearly wrong about that, but back in 2016 that was my main concern with him.
As for the Libertarian thing I knew NY was going Hillary so I voted Johnson to try to increase the viability of a third party. Up the total percentage of the vote to hopefully get them a seat at the debates next time and all that.

No, but I have family in NYC and they're unfortunately libtards. Yep, he won me over as well and he's desperately what we've needed for years!
Damn. Did you guys NOT watch any of the debates and rallies?
