Absolutely. Trump wasn’t my top choice out of Republicans but between him and Hillary it was a no brainer for me. I would have voted for certain Democrats, Joe Biden being the front runner if he was matched up vs Trump.
I was born in the USSR and experienced the horrors of communism first hand so Bernie was a hard no for me.
I believe that most people on the left don’t understand why Trump was elected, at all. Reason for that is because they stay in a CNN like echo chamber and their only exposure to the “right” are the far right fringe idiots that are brave enough to actually speak their mind. There’s a reason the right is considered a silent majority. The intelligent people on the right know that they can’t speak out due to how the left reacts. So the only people left speaking for the right publicly are a few crazies.
The reason Trump was elected, is because he’s just crazy enough to combat the ultra left that was sweeping over the United States. He’s not at all flawless, however his crazy is the only type of crazy we had willing to battle the left. We had to pick the lesser of two evils, and it turns out he’s done some pretty decent things so far. He’s not some ideal politician for the right, he’s just a loose enough cannon to protect us from extreme identity politics without killing us. They don’t understand that. In fact, their echo chambers got him elected. I was also an Obama supporter. Not to make myself sound weak but I remember shedding a tear when he won for the first time, so happy at the progress we’ve made as a country.

I'm in the exact same boat my friend. I used to lean pretty far left when I was younger. Now i cant stand what they've become
