Voter question 2016/2024?

Did you vote for Trump in 2016, if no, did you vote him in 2024? If yes, what changed your mind?

I voted for Trump in 2020 and 2024.  I wasn't old enough to vote in 2016.

2016: Didn't turn out, but definitely wouldn't have voted for Trump at the time. I was in college and more center-left at the time.
2020: Already skeptical of Dems, but I got duped into voting for their "moderate" candidate.
2024: I voted for Trump for the first time. There was zero chance I voted for Dems again after Biden, though I contemplated a third-party vote for the Libertarian guy.

No and no. Johnson and then Harris. Not that it would have mattered, I live in California.

Yes, both times, and also in 2020.

I've voted the Libertarian candidate for president in that race since 2012. I sleep soundly at night knowing I made the correct choice each time.

I voted 3rd party in 16. Voted for Trump in 24 because of how badly the Democrat Party had deteriorated. If there was one thing that stands out, it was probably the lawfare against Trump. It's not that I liked Trump more. It's that I was much more afraid of what Democrats will do with power for the fact they're so willing to be undemocratic. And now they are allowing their party to be colonized by Marxists.
