If Trump let himself be "ramrodded" by his own party to the point he was ineffectual, why do you think it would be any different next time?
Why are you voting for him?

First Question: I think it will be different this time because people are starting to wake up to see just how corrupt our government is. Elon Musk has helped a lot with this as far as zero censorship on his platform X. Trump, with all his faults, brought that situation to bare. People can plainly see the double standards that the Uniparty and MSM use against Trump verses Biden. Biden has been in government for over 50 years, and yet he is as clean as the wind driven snow. I think movements like Matt Gaetz making politicians accountable for their votes is a good thing. The so called conservatives that hate him are probably paid for and now they will have to be held accountable for their votes; which is good for our Republic. RINO politicians are currently dropping out like the rats they are, or they or doubling down like John Cornyn and Lyndsey Graham. This was because of Trump.
But we have a ways to go. Too many politicians, many in my home state, have been bought and paid for by influencers to not support Trump. I think mainstream America whole heartedly supports Trump and now with social media not being rigged like it was the Truth will come out.
Second Question: I did not support Trump at all when he ran in the primaries. I was a Ted Cruz or Ben Carson guy all the way. I couldn't stand Trump, but when he won the nomination, I voted for him. Now I support him 100% I am MAGA all the way, and this is why....
1. He was the first president in my lifetime that actually tried to do what he campaigned on (border fence) although he was backstabbed by Paul Ryan and other RINOs.
2. He is 100% transparent and says exactly what he thinks. He takes questions again, and again, from the press conferences and is not afraid to say what he thinks.
3. He 100% tried to secure our border. He begged for a measly 5billion dollars to secure it and the uniparty said NO.
4. Under his leadership, he put more pedophiles and sex traffickers in jail and busted more sex trafficking rings than any other president.
5. He made as bout as close of a peace deal as possible in the Middle East with the Abraham Accords.
6. He had a working relationship, although coarse, with both Putin and North Korea
7. He was 100% against transgender ideology, child mutilation, and dragqueens in public schools.
8. He moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the true capital of Israel.
9. I never paid $4-5/gallon for diesel under Trump.
10. He believed in Nationalism and taking care of America and its citizens first.
11. He was 100% against taking in immigrants from craphole countries that will never ever assimilate.
12. He is not owned by any outside group, and can't be bought.
13. He did not take a salary while in office.
14. Over all, things were much better for me and my family financially under Trump than they are now.
15. Trump started ZERO wars!
I could go on, but that's enough reason alone for me to vote for him.
