    We all knew who trump was going into 2024. I can forgive 2016, in truth, I didn’t expect him to be as bad as he was.

    I, for one, expected 2024 Trump in 2016. At this point, I’m still paralyzed by shock that we managed to get a second chance to save the country in 2020 and completely squandered it.

      I guess my perspective is slightly different as I was fresh out of high-school, looking at my first presidential election, almost no interest in politics, and my only real opinion of trump in 2016 was “dude is disgusting and a moron.”

      I ended up voting third party that election, something about if third party votes were above 5% they would earn more funding or something? I was in a very blue state at the time, so I knew trump wasnt going to win my state, and I figured maybe that 5% was doable that election.
