I did not vote for Trump in 2016. I've always voted Republican, even had the misfortune of having to vote Romney in 2012. In 2016 I thought Trump would never get the nomination, I voted for Cruz in my state's primary. I was devastated when Trump won the nomination. My issue with him was that he was a reality TV star and would make a mockery of our highest office. I was torn, I would never vote for a Democrat but for the first time in my life, I considered it. If Hillary wasn't such a crooked bitch, I might have done it. I knew Trump would win my state, so I ended up writing in Cruz for the election. I couldn't bring myself to vote for who I thought was a joke at the time. Even though I have always been a Republican and have voted in every election since 2008, my red-pill moment was the Kavanaugh confirmation. That's when I first saw what the democratic party was about, they're an evil organization that will do anything for power. It disgusted me... what they put that man through. Ever since, I have followed politics in much greater detail. I realized what Trump was about, he's not a joke, he's the greatest President we've ever had and I mean that with great sincerity. Pedes, I have realized my mistake in 2016. I will not make that mistake in 2020. I will crawl through broken glass to cast my vote for Trump, I've told everyone who will listen to vote for Trump. Trump will win. Just wanted to get this off my chest. Trump2020

I’m glad I never got into pop culture much during the reality TV era. I notice most never Trump people seem to have been influenced by the “image” thing tied to entertainment. For me, Trump was sort of a celebrity name I had heard of, but no more than other business people of the era. I had never watched WWE so that had no impact either,
I learned about him as a politician through his books and the actual 2016 campaign. It would be nice if we got to know every politician first through their ideas. T.V. has ruined politics. We had idiot suburban females swooning over Beto looking like a Kennedy or whatever (they dig large slightly bucked front teeth I guess?) We are lucky Trump mastered our country’s weird celebrity and royal fetish and used it for good.
