Summary
Consumer confidence has declined since Donald Trump’s return to office, with the University of Michigan reporting a drop in sentiment and rising inflation concerns.
Many Trump voters are frustrated by market turbulence and sweeping executive orders. Voter Paul Bisson fears economic instability, saying, “That’s not what we signed up for.”
Geneticist Nicholas Schuch plans to move savings to Swiss Francs, expecting ongoing chaos.
Polls indicate growing anxiety, with some supporters questioning Trump’s policies and their long-term economic impact.
Can gurentee you more than a few are swallowing hte ‘they’re elminating waste from OUR taxes’ line eagerly.
Such as my parents.
Bullshit. Trump supporters have no idea what “market turbulence” means and are cheering the executive orders. This is just manipulative feel-good bullshit.
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
Strange, because it’s EXACTLY what they signed up for.
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 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.
Throwback to his first term when one of his supporters said “He’s hurting the wrong people!”
I wonder if anyone has done a “where are they now?” on that guy and tracked him down and found out how he’s voted since.
I believe it was a woman who said it. Either way, their motivation for supporting Trump seems to be to cause harm to people they believe deserve it, and the motivation hasn’t changed.
Geneticist Nicholas Schuch plans to move savings to Swiss Francs, expecting ongoing chaos.
Wow can you imagine your face getting eaten by leopards this hard? \s
No they aren’t angry. They give zero fucks and just pull an RFK on Samoa. They will simply not to pay attention to “MSM” if it gets inconvenient, and any present change will be chalked up to Kamala.
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.”
Wow a 5% decline… … … …
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.
Until they stop admitting to voting for Trump or start outright saying, “We fucked up,” this is just nitpicking his priorities.
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.
no, they’re doing it because it gets you to post the article on Reddit and Lemmy, to your Facebook so you feel like youre winning the debate with your dad.
it’s pure nihilism
I hate this clickbait feel good happy toxic optimism shit.
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.
A root cause analysis of these people lead me to draw one conclusion.
THEY ARE DUMBFUCKS!!
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.
I know it’s tempting to dunk on these people, but if you know anyone like this, tell them to call their Senator and voice their displeasure. They probably won’t listen, and they deserve their, “leopards ate my face,” moment, but trying to mobilize them would be far more productive than saying, “told you so.”
Very good point. I plan on giving the people I know IRL an off-ramp and I will try not to show that I’m judging them. Breaking with a cult is very difficult. Admitting they were wrong about nearly everything is world-shattering.
It’s even harder if they think people will just be hostile and tell them how wrong they were, etc. As much as people want to give them no safe harbor, and make them grovel and prostrate themselves before normal Americans and constantly remind them about how much they have hurt others…that’s not how the human psyche works. Almost no one is going to return to normalcy for that kind of treatment…
