I attended the inauguration in 2017 and that was pure magic. 2016 was kind of a blur with 2 kids in college living at home. But one of the Millenials that I worked with bought a cardboard Trump, kept him in his office, and we all had fun that year cheering on the guy who was not a politician. It was a fun year as we imagined him beating Hillary Clinton. The “You’d be in jail” statement at the debate was talked about forever. I was lucky to work with so many young libertarians who adopted and respected Trump.
2016 was special for us after we had high hopes for the Tea Party yet saw the 70 or so new conservatives go to DC in 2010 and fade into RINO land. It also was dark for me as I stumbled onto Pizzagate and watched it unfold on Reddit.
I’m much older than you. I was lucky to have Ronald Reagan as my Command In Chief for some years. Those were magical years to be as we rebuilt our military and watched the Iron Curtain fall. A dark cloud started to descend back over the country afterwards. It got darker with 9/11, the wars, and later with Obama. Trump running was a glimmer of hope. His election that night was magical. I felt like Baron looked as they announced him winning that November night. It was a long night as I fought to stay awake. I laughed at the thought of Hillary being too drunk to come out and give a concession speech.
Yes, 2016 was special.
