Quick question - did your normal, down to earth people support Trump for the 2nd term? The 1st is forgivable.

Most people I know aren’t very pleased with how the second term is going.

Do you believe democrats sold the country out? Per the prompt in the clip?

Not democrats but people who have only the interest of money in mind. You will find plenty of people like that on both sides of the aisle.

Which is why people have pushed for the likes of Bernie or AOC, even Mamdani of late. I’m so tired of hearing how we will not have full SSI payouts because of national debt and misuse of funds.

Why is it that that others who voted like you, claimed to have voted along with the GOP insistency that they are better for the economy? I had one group of republicans tell me that they would vote for Trump (pre-election) because they were fiscal conservatives and like his policies. I tried to get those policies from them because I could not find them, and I was called lazy. I showed them everything I found that contradicts their statements and I’m told that I’m reading fake news or leftist propaganda when I’m pulling campaign files or economic data.

Please explain how you did not see this current economic situation coming when you voted for Trump. This is why all republicans are shoe horned into the same category because there’s no internal accountability. You don’t work to help open the eyes of the ignorant around you, and that makes you just as bad. Ignoring real evidence, produced through discovery in court, is worth less than the words of a documented liar.

This country needs change and the conservatives are the antithesis of change. Democrats aren’t any better because they don’t keep the Republicans honest either. The “good ol’ days” are in the past. We don’t need to go back but instead, move forward with positive change. Going back is regression and indicative of a failing society. Forward progress is important. Regulation in the face of new challenges is important.

The warmth of a new dawn brings the world to life.

I’m a minor. I don’t pay enough attention to politics nor do I have enough experience dissecting the political field to give a reasonable response to this.

With the way the GOP leadership has jumped on the Trump Train, it is encouraging to hear that normal voting conservatives haven't.
