7. Plenty of disconnected independent and/or centrist voters were only voting on inflation,

and certainly not for massive medicaid and snap benefit cuts
(which to my knowledge, Trump NEVER mentioned in the 2024 campaign--
or not often enough for the press to take notice of)---

and as far as deportation of "illegal" (sic) undocumented immigrants is concerned,
he ran on deporting the "criminals--- worst of the worst"--- and NOT on
deporting anyone's Grandma who had no criminal record,
but her papers were not quite in order--- but NOW ICE takes everyone into custody that they can,
and arrests undocumenteds at immigration courts, where they are attempting to
abide by the law---

YES, I believe there ARE a few magats who didn't think they were voting for this,
but there are a LOT MORE non-magats who definitely were NOT voting for all this---
they just wanted lower prices at the grocery
and foolishly believed Trump's BIGGEST LIE that he would GIVE them lower prices!

yeah, those people in the middle who were suckered were foolish,
but they were not voting for a complete fascist takeover---
and were mostly just incredibly ill-informed....


Now, the ideological MAGATs who voted for this guy again--- FUCK 'em.
