I'm traditionally conservative (and Christian) too but for the last year or so I've identified as centrist because both sides are corrupt. GOP is weak and ineffective and the Democrats are just evil, however, have you looked at what Trump actually did when he was President? Have you looked at his Executive orders? If you do, I'd recommend using DuckDuckGo because Google is heavily biased in their results and have been hiding search results to change the narrative.
I think, based on what you said, that when you look for a leader you look for the nice friendly guy that everyone likes. Gaddafi had the same reputation. I don't look for the nice guy, I look for the guy who's effective and willing to put his neck on the line for his people. Trump did that. If we had a Trump-like figure in South Africa, I guarantee you, ANC would run scared into panic mode because he wouldn't take any crap from anyone. From experience, Christians tend to think with the heart instead of the head.
The ONLY 2 reasons why we had the pandemic was Trump threatened China to make them pay what they owe to the US and the Democrats wanted to use the pandemic to screw with the stats, eg. Job stats, fuel prices, etc. so they can say Biden did a great job when it was really the scamdemic.
We're actually dealing with EXTREMELY sick individuals who were willing to kill millions so they can avoid prosecution and Trump is the only guy standing in their way. There's no one else doing that right now and if the US falls, then we're gonna get huge problems in South Africa.
