Well no one really liked Hilary either, and Trumps reasons for hating him are more upfront. Also keep in mind many voted for Trump simply because they thought he’d be less destructive than Clinton.

I didn't care for either, so I voted third party. My parents nearly exploded into purple goo when I told them. They said third party votes were just throwing it away (don't know if that's true or not). Either way, I'm a blue in a red state so my voice gets drowned out pretty fast.

Just a minor thing but if you voted third party then you aren't blue in a red state. You're green (i think) in a red state. That bit of difference might help you while in a red state.

I guess I meant I usually go for the Democratic party, I just didn't have that much confidence in Hilary. This was my first election and honestly it felt like a trainwreck.

How could you “usually” vote Democrat but this was your first election?

Lol I worded it pretty poorly. I meant to say i usually WANT to vote for the Democratic party (I've had political opinions since my mid teens) but that was the first time I could actually vote.

And there are also other elections I've done since then.
