Dude I remember seeing the first debate before going on a backpacking trip with my parents.

My parents at the time I considered Republican, but not conservative. When they saw the debate they laughed and made jokes that the dude will never win.

Then when I came closer to the election, they turned around. Thinking he was awesome and the answer to the “government” problem.

Now, they aren’t hard-line Trump supporters, but their views have definitely changed towards being a lot more conservative. I’ve seen their stances change quite a bit since then.
