In reply to the discussion: Do you think that everyone who voted for Trump is a MAGA adherent? [View all]tulipsandroses
(7,186 posts)Although, anecdotal - All the videos and legitimate posts on social media that I've seen of trump voters expressing regret, or alarmed at the damage trump is currently doing, confirms what I already thought about these folks.
I posted a video last night of one regret voter who stated that she voted for trump because of the " economy", now she is upset that trump froze funding that affects her kids' medicaid, groceries are getting more expensive, bird flu is affecting the cost of eggs and trump is blocking information that we need to stay updated about diseases. Now she sees the light.
She is obviously, someone that is paying attention to what trump is doing now. Was she not paying attention to everything he was saying prior to the election? Was she not paying attention to his actions during the pandemic"
What did trump promise that she felt that she needed to cast a vote for him? What plan did he have that addressed her concerns?
Other than selling fear and hatred. The " other" people are causing your economic pain. She bought that, either because she is stupid, a bigot or immoral.
I often wonder how these people go about living their daily lives. How do they make decisions?
If you looked at everything trump did, from Covid, the insurrection, his felonies and still decided to vote for him, If you thought cheaper eggs was worth putting him back in the WH despite all that, you have no moral compass.
So no you don't get a pass.
I saw another regret video - guy said he was not going to vote, family and friends convinced him to, now he regrets it. He said he voted for trump because of his "beliefs". He did not say what those beliefs were.
Another video of the Latina trump voter crying about her undocumented relatives being targets for deportation -
Another post from a guy cursing trump, saying he is destroying crypto because he is losing money in crypto. All his previous posts were of him being a super fan of trump.
Another post from the guy that was begging for trump to fix "the mistake" of his wife not being able to start her new nursing job at the VA when he rescinded new hiring. He was happy when it was happening to other folks, but it is "a mistake" when it happens to his wife"
Another post from a guy complaining that his employer has govt contracts, and now his hours have been reduced since trump took office - I am guessing the owner of the company he works for is " DEI". Who do these people think " these DEI villains" are? Couldn't be the construction company or the catering company you work for right?
My new favorite past time is watching videos and reading posts of these regret voters. I think most of them would still vote for trump if he " got it right"
and made sure they were not hurt in the mayhem of him hurting other people.
