Don't or didn't in this sentence.

Sentence: "I don't/didn't used to support any kind of violence..."

My question/ doubt: What word would be appropriate in this sentence if it were to be said in past tense: "don't used to" or "didn't used to" ?


Thanks

Only didn't is appropriate in the past.

Present: I don't support ...
Past: I didn't use to support ... (I didn't used to is also accepted.)

He/she didn't understand why you think the word didn't appropiate in the past tense.

All the above refer to events in the past.

Did you not read my response correctly, perhaps?

Of the two choices (didn't and don't), didn't (and not don't) is the only choice which is appropriate if you want to use the p
