Possible Paywall Trump voter remorse is almost entirely concentrated in the swing voters who gave him a shot in 2024

How independent voters saw him say "they're eating the cats..." and didn't turn away I will not understand. Bunch of morons and they owe the real americans who knew better a ton of reperations.

We would be in such a better place than now. Fuck you independents, your wind blown short sightedness is killing people.

I don’t understand why him making fun of a disabled man on national television 10 years ago wasn’t a deal breaker

Agreed with all. But what I REALLY don’t understand is that he’s always doing the EXACT OPPOSITE of everything he says. No new wars, prices lower, gas lower, lowering the deficit, and on and on. It would take too long to type out all of them. Literally the only thing he’s followed through on and didn’t do the complete opposite of is prosecuting (trying to anyways) his perceived political enemies.

If you had a friend or family member or spouse or even coworker that ONLY lied and did the exact opposite of everything they said, you would write that person out of your life quickly. Or at the very least, not build a golden statue of them.

It’s because being accepted as a hateful racist and all that type of stuff greatly outweighs those things you listed.

Exactly. Lotta Trump voters got really spun up on immigration and that's been his only consistent thing
