I paid more attention to politics once trump was elected. I learned more about what trump could and couldn't do as president and how the damage could be prevented. I went to political protests and got active.

Watching the Democratic party describe him as evil while doing little to stop him really woke me up to the willful inaction going on. It finally clicked when I saw people waiting on the Mueller Report. A fed and self-identified republican who would supposedly unseat a president and send them to jail.
