Bullshit. I live in a red state. They're not turning on him at all. You can always find a couple of people to express any view that you want to amplify and write an article pretending they're representative of their entire group.

Exactly, go to any conservative space and they're just happy that the "libs are getting owned."
I dunno if I like articles like this, because I haven't really heard anyone really say this. I like in podunk Midwest state and folks around here are set that things are already getting better, and if they aren't, it's because of the last administration or because Democrats keep getting in the way.
Online, comments from articles and a certain sub reddit are all bouncing around ecstatically and shouting "WINNING" with everything that is happening. I'd like to think the mirage is fading, but I have been able to find truth of that just yet.
Trump voters don't care about these things. they have a completely different rhetorical frame. this article is bullshit. trump voters are liking the chaos a lot because they think its good because they think liberals are bad. all you need to do is follow the usual conservative talking heads if you want to know what they're thinking.
I hate this clickbait feel good happy toxic optimism shit. it doesn't do any good to anyone. this article was only written to keep leftists stupid. downvote this fake garbage.
The media is publicizing these lies to keep people from getting the idea that they need to do something.
"Oh good his voters are turning on him" helps placate the opposition. It keeps people from wanting to do something.

Every time I see an article like this, I go check old.shittyplace.com/r/conservative and see nothing but Trump cheerleaders. When the tide starts to change there, I'll believe they might have gained a spark of awareness.
I am adjacent to a lot of Trump voters through my wife relating conversations from her 95% Trump voting company. Other than having to stamp out some offensive exuberance, there has been no reaction to any of it. They are just excited about the ascendency of the right and waiting for the "benefits" to percolate through society.
Despite having gay kids they support, etc. Any doubts or second thoughts they are having are not being shared. Could be the network effect of not wanting to be the first to break faith, but that could just as easily be wishful thinking.

Until they stop admitting to voting for Trump or start outright saying, "We fucked up," this is just nitpicking his priorities.

The reason I find it hard to sympathize with the people who voted for him is because he's been advertising everything he's currently doing for the past few years, and now the people who voted for him are surprised that he's actually doing what he'd said he'd do.

No. This is exactly what they signed up for. WTAF did they think was going to happen?
They expected to never face the consequences of their shitty shitty actions.
They thought the leopard would eat other people's faces and not theirs. Remember that one lady from his first term? "He's not hurting the right people." That quote tells you everything you need to know about his voters.
They hoped for cheap eggs and open racism.
They are 50% there.
Yeah, you lived through a whole term of this shit already. Not sure how you can be surprised now.

“this isn’t what we signed up for”
literally everyone has been trying to tell you it is
They signed up to make everyone else suffer and now they're shocked and dismayed that they're probably going to suffer too. I feel for everyone that has to share a country with people that would throw them to the wolves first chance they get while demanding unearned respect for themselves. But if I were religious, I'd tell these people to rot in hell.
Seriously, if sanity ever returns to the world, I hope that the lesson we walk away with is that right wingers, conservatives and religious fundies should never be allowed anywhere near positions of power again. Because when they have it, their whole aim is to uplift themselves and only themselves while fucking over everyone else in society.
Lmao fuck all of them. This is exactly what they signed up for. You fucked around now find out you worthless cunts.
Yes you DID. YES YOU DID!
And it's going to be a whole fuck-ton more than just economic instability, you dumbasses.
With all due respect, this is exactly what you all signed up for you stupid fucking pieces of shit.
"all due respect"
Not much respect is due here
Don’t worry, none was given.
This is not only what you signed up for, but you signed the rest of us up for it too.
Thanks.
With all due respect
Which is about Zero.
Um, he is doing exactly what he said he would do. These people just thought being white would keep them safe.
Not even. There are even people in immigrant families that voted for him because "he's only going to deport the bad ones" and then [surprised Pikachu] a bunch of their own family get deported
There's stupid, and there's zealotism, but stupid zealots are the worst
Friend of mine is Mexican living in Texas and voted for him because he thought it would help him get a job. I didn’t ask for more of an explanation but that is the kind of shit we are dealing with.
no, assholes....this is EXACTLY what you signed up for. revel in it.
you didn't just accept it
you fucking demanded it.
now live with it.
Do we really think there's a significant number of Trump voters out there who regret their vote? Really?
It seems far more likely to me that most Trump voters are doubling down. "Prices are going to come down way lower than they were before Trump took office. This is actually Biden's fault. Prices are going down, actually. Particularly eggs, depsite what the woke MSM would tell you. In fact, eggs are cheapest in states with the least restrictive gun regulations and highest deportation rates for illegals. Prices have never been this low. Trump is making Mexico pay our grocery bills."
Sure, you can find one or two people who will claim to be regretful Trump voters. (Just like you can find a very few microbiologists who swear the universe was created in six literal days around 6,000 years ago.) But I can't imagine any significant number of Trump voters having that much self awareness and intellectual honesty.

Bullshit. Trump supporters have no idea what "market turbulence" means and are cheering the executive orders. This is just manipulative feel-good bullshit.
This, I keep hearing about how "Thanks to Trump common sense is being restored!"
And when I ask what they mean by "Common Sense", they tell me the most transphobic shit I've ever heard in my life and give me a lecture about how it's "time for me to stop playing dress up"
And I'm like "Dress up? I'm a fucking tomboy who happens to be a transgirl, what exactly am I dressing up as?"
I know what they mean, but pretending I don't makes them angrier, and at this point I hope they have strokes.
What is some? I mean if 1% of his supporters are having second thoughts is that enough to care about. I mean we need REAL numbers not just a few people who suddenly woke up and made the news.
You wanted a circus, now clutch your pearls as the clowns riot. Democracy’s corpse twitches while you gawk at the monster you stitched from Fox propaganda and Facebook memes. “Not what we signed up for”—as if arsonists get to rage when the flames lick their own shoes. The system’s rotted, but you’d rather blame the maggots than admit you’re elbow-deep in the carcass.
Enjoy the show. Your messiah’s a carnival barker, and you’re the rubes who bought tickets to the end. No refunds.
Can gurentee you more than a few are swallowing hte 'they're elminating waste from OUR taxes' line eagerly.
Such as my parents.
that "waste" is gonna go right into the pockets of the wealthy and the select few.
run 'o the mill redcap maganuts are not on that list--never were
Oh I've been aware. For the past TWENTY. FUCKING. YEARS. I've been aware... that's how long i'v been trying to get them to step away from this shitbag hate spewing open sewage pipe.
They insist I'm, and I fucking quote, 'divorced from reality.'

that's really rich. chaos is the reason he got into the office in the first place, and was offering nothing but chaos for 2 years before the election.
They really wrote a whole-ass article about two random schmucks lol
Chaos was the main constant his entire first presidency.
Fuck. Does nobody remember infrastructure week?
Infrastructure Week lasted four years and was always two weeks away. This term is apparently Executive Order Day, every day that ends in a "why".
Dumbasses voted for a clown and didn't expect the inevitable circus.
Womp womp.
A root cause analysis of these people lead me to draw one conclusion.
THEY ARE DUMBFUCKS!!
