Well, I voted for Clinton, because she was a career politician, who had served various positions such as a Senator and as Secretary of State, also her husband was president once, and I think I liked what he did with the budget.
I didn't 'like a number of her policies, but the other option was Trump,
Who at that point I considered completely untested in politics, the guy really worried me,
Though I can't say his first term as president has me 'enthused for his second now,
At least I 'think government can still function with him in office.
(1) So part of what changed is Trump became a more known variable as President.
(2) Clinton was a somewhat known variable, as to what her Presidency might be.
Harris, I was never able to get a good idea of what her actions and policies might be
Though some claim Clinton also had vague campaign promises, perhaps I was just more familiar with her as a politician and her history.
In the Trump vs Biden election,
I think I voted 3rd party, I don't 'quite remember why,
But I assume it was because Trump had been tested.
(3) 'Might also be that guns popped up in the current events topics,
I am for gun rights in America.
Ah, 2020 was also when those protests/riots occurred,
I didn't agree with the Chauvin trial results, though I accepted them as the legal outcome.
. . Possible I began to identify the Left more with lawlessness, Communism, and Identity politics. (I realize they are not Communists)
(4) So yeah, the Riots/Protests
In the Trump vs Harris Election,
We'd been having even more talk against guns during the Biden administration I think.
(5) I am against a number of transgender policies, I view as being endorsed by the Left,
In sports, prison, healthcare, school.
Hm, immigration was brought up some this last and past elections,
Republicans bussing illegals to Left cities, and the Left saying they don't want them. (I realize this is imperfect and unnuanced way to explain it.)
But I am for strong borders,
And would prefer we have a 'smaller lower working class population,
As I think just massing the people needed for said labor decreases their wages.
(6) So Immigration
I suppose many of these are not 'new, but they have kept popping up, and thus kept influencing my views, so perhaps 'I changed partially.
(7) Lack of time to research
Most of past year I was visiting my Dad because of some health issues of his, he doesn't have internet,
I suppose I could have gone to the library or used a newspaper occasionally, but I didn't.
I understand that my knowledge and views are imperfect and partial, but these are some of the issues and what changed.
Possible I missed some.
(8) Ah, I didn't like Biden's excusing of College debt,
I wouldn't be against changing the 'system, but I didn't like the way he tried to go about it.
I associated Biden with The Left, what Biden does, the Left does.
(Not quite correct, but I am explaining my brain, not 'justifying it)
(9) I didn't like talk of reparations
Though I am not against the poor, unfranchised, and so on as a 'class being helped,
I am not for a specific 'race being helped, at this time.
