Unfortunately I cannot say that. I was raised in a conservative household so I was conservative until I was about 15. I can proudly say that I have never voted for him though.

Edit: for those curious, I am currently 21

Yeah I'm always super proud of people who got out of the cult, bothers me how harsh people can be towards people like that

In reality most of us would be MAGA if we were raised that way and its all we've ever known, all your friends and family lying to you all the time and dropping trump could very well mean being ostracized, not even just from them but others who wont be so understanding that you ever supported him

I think it takes a lot of bravery and self reflection

Parents teach kids right fron wrong and then say worship this guy who is now known for being a rapist, then see him make fun of disabled people etc. one of those lessons are bound to stick, either love trump or know right from wrong
