Confessions of a One-Time Never Trumper
Tom Knighton
Eight years ago, I was resigned to there being a Trump presidency. I didn't support his Democratic opponent at all, but I just couldn't bring myself to vote for Trump. He was loud, obnoxious, and everything I didn't want in a president, so while I'd originally intended to vote Republican, I went Libertarian instead.
I would have classified myself as Never Trump.
Four years later, I voted for him.
I still wasn't thrilled about it, but he wasn't as bad as I thought he'd be. He also might have been better if is every action didn't prompt Democrats to judge shop and sue him in some circuit court where the last conservative judge died in 1973 or something. It was still a grudging vote, but he had to be better than Joe Biden. I wasn't just voting against Biden, but it was close
Last year, I really wished he'd have decided to retire, but I still voted for him. I didn't feel bad about my vote.
Right now, though? I might be one of the biggest Trump fans you're going to find.
What changed?
Scorched Earth.
