> It's self-defeating to simply assume everyone that voted for Trump in 2024 continues to support cozying up to middle eastern autocrats, covering up the Epstein case, bully pulpit led cryptocurrency fraud, middle of the night raids on entire apartment buildings, deploying National Guards to occupy American cities and attack protestors, deliberately inhumane treatment of deportees while mostly letting businesses continue on as usual, etc.
Is there any evidence that there is any significant group of people who voted for Trump but are opposed to any of those things?
Because the evidence I've seen suggests that each of those things increased support for Trump anong his base, and the only open question is "By how much?"
- mindslight 1y agoDid you miss my sentence right before that? > I've talked to people who voted for Trump subsequently regretted it after they saw what he is actually doing. Don't focus on his "base". They're demented slobs like him, or foreign AI-bots boosting destructive messages to harm our country. Focus on the people who were misled into thinking the grass would be greener on the other side, as they were frustrated with the status quo and believed Trump's word salad implied some actual reform.
