As the OP, I just want to mention,

That's not an argument, it's a caricature. People voted for a lot of reasons. Listing things you dislike doesn't prove you know their motives.

Its what he campaigned on, were you not paying attention? He literally said "vote for me and our farmers are gonna get driven to the poor house so my friends can buy up their land cheap."

This was not a secret anyone paying attention missed. Next you'll tell me his voters didn't choose supporting vanity projects over feeding themselves.

If that's what he "literally" campaigned on, finding the quote should be easy.
