I'm pretty sure you could help but root for him. It seems a simple decision not to root for a blithering, hateful idiot. I'm pretty sure no one was forcing you to cheer on a dumpster fire like that guy. Just because someone's an underdog doesn't mean they're deserving of your consideration. Remember kids, fascism isn't a meme.
As I said, I'm an European so I only had a surface level understanding of the candidates back in 2016. I was kind of young too, so Trump to me appeared like some funny guy from the TV, not competent enough to be a president. A person who only got rich because of their parents.
As for him being a fascist, really? He doesn't strike me as being able to hold any kind of Authority besides being a keyboard warrior on Twitter.
