I really do not feel anyone's vote needs "justifying", we all make what we feel is the best choice at the time.
I voted for Trump...and I'll admit it, and I refuse to apologize about it. On election day, I knew a few things:
-Living in Illinois, 100% of my states Electoral votes would go to Clinton (which they did)
-I had 4 choices on the ballot in front of me; Clinton, Trump, Johnson, and Stein
-I could choose to either not vote, or do a write in.
Like I said before, I voted Trump. At the time, I felt he reflected more of what I wanted in a president than any other candidate. Do I agree with him 100%? Absolutely not...and that's really not possible. Do I agree with some of the things he's doing at the moment? Nope...but once again, find me one person who agrees with 100% of what any president does and I'll find you a liar.
I'll reflect back on my choice when the next election comes up, until then...it's been less than a month, I'm not taking any stance just yet.
A vote made in what you feel the best interest of the country is not something you should have to apologize for, no matter how things turn out.
You're going to wait 4 years?
