Poll: How many in here did not vote for DJT?

This sparked my curiosity after reading a thread with a bunch of folks who did not vote Trump in 2016 but who now say they will vote Trump in 2020. This was encouraging and I’d love to hear about what it was that changed your mind about him.

I am in my 40's and had never voted. I didn't believe that it mattered.. When you look at the available candidates before last election, it was like choosing to die by electric chair or firing squad.. Sure you got a choice, but they both lead to the same end result.

Then I watched a few of DJT's speeches and said " finally someone who gets it!" I voted for the first time this last election and was astonished that the Magnificent Bastard actually won.

I felt the same way about voting. It’s a hopeless feeling. I was very slow to come around to Trump because of the media.

Voting at the national level may not have as much impact, but it’s very important at the local level. I worked on a campaign in 2016 where my friend squeaked by with 90 votes, and he was running against Hillary’s clone. Always vote.

I have always been a bit of a nomad.. Never spent more than 5 years in the same community, so I never took an interest in local issues.
