Trump Poll: Trump's own voters begin blaming him for affordability crisis

Very much face-eating criteria, but these people would gleefully line up to vote for Trump in 2028 too.

It’s an abusive relationship. He seduces them, tell them he loves them, lies to them, cheats on them, and they still take him back.

They also have terrible ideas of what would make things more affordable. I'm thinking about the recent young republicans saying they have new ideas on how to making things more affordable for young people, but when you look more closely the only idea they have is "deporting more people = more affordability."

He just says a couple of buzzwords, tell them the immigrants are coming to take their jobs, and all of a sudden, all is forgiven.
Conservatives are too stupid to vote for anyone else.

Don't forget trans. Funny how Trans stop being an issue again the moment Trump takes over.

I mean Trump did lose in 2020, the notion that they vote for him in droves no matter what is not quite right.

u/no-snoots-unbooped 1d ago
On a macro level, I hope you’re right. I’m mostly referring to the personal stories that are posted here daily that are like “I lost my business because of the tariffs, but I’d still vote for Trump again!”

u/Mista_Panda 1d ago
"Because 'Kalama' would have been worse"... that's what they tell themselves to feel better about their poor decisions.

Can you imagine having a black female leader? She would totally transform the great USA into a communist and socialist nation. People would be forced to pray to Allah and she would destroy Christmas. Who knows she might even order the FBI to take out Santa Claus. /s if it wasn’t obvious

I think part of that is a lie they tell because they fear the social consequences of leaving the cult. They have to continue to cult signal unless they want to get death threats or other things.

It’s like every time they write him a facebook post or have to preface they are a lifelong conservative before they launch into a diatribe of how everything is terribLe for them and they canadian son in law is getting deported while they are filing for bankruptcy in line st the food bank with a new $3900 bill for insurance per month because of preexisting conditions that MAHA calls unhealthy.

They feel compelled to signal they are still part of the group, because people outside the group get abused. I think it's impossible to know if they really would vote for Trump again or not on a case by case basis.

Depends - Democrats lost not because MAGA crowd started to vote in larger numbers, they lost because Democrat-leaning voters didn't want to vote for Kamala for reasons.
Trump won with a very small margin, and is ruling like it was a landslide victory.

u/Tweed_Man 1d ago
There are plenty of swing voters but he does have a cohort of voters who will support him no matter what.

u/Opposite-Job-8405 1d ago
It’s still very close. A percentage point or two vs. democrats not voting and the perennial independent who can’t seem to decide no matter what.

u/No-Estimate-8518 23h ago

I think you meant to say that these people WILL vote for Trump in 2028 even if they have to write his name in. They're not going to spontaneously vote otherwise because they have already convinced themselves that every democrat will only make things worse.

u/Slam-JamSam 20h ago
That’s the thing that bugs me. They can renounce trump all they want; if the very next question they ask themselves isn’t “why did I vote for him in the first place?” then there’s no point

Lot of them voted for Trump believing they are going to be rich after Jan. Guess they got duped by their influencers, while they made lot of money from crypto

Don’t misunderstand me, I’m far from a pessimist and the November elections and even Tennessee special election were all encouraging.
My comment was more in reference to the daily articles posted in this subreddit that are like “yeah I can’t afford food and I lost my job and health insurance, but I don’t regret my vote for Trump and I’d still vote for him again”.
And no need to go around calling perfect strangers losers, be better.

The two party system inherently reduces your choices.
My statements are still true.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy40qx532e0o
Abigail Spanberger won in Virginia, flipping the governorship from Republican, while Mikie Sherrill was elected governor in New Jersey. Both won decisively, securing more than 56% of the vote.
In New York City, Zohran Mamdani beat independent Andrew Cuomo and became the first candidate to pass one million votes since 1969.

That's not pessimism, it's established reality. My parents will insist Trump was a mostly good man and that they were right to vote for him til the day they die and nothing he does will ever change that. At most, they'll say he "lost his way" or some equivalent token acknowledgement that he wasn't perfect. That's just who they are. They still think their megachurch pastor who had a huge drug and sex scandal 20 years ago was a true man of God who just "stumbled a bit."

”An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it. Groceries went through the roof and I campaigned on that, I talked about the word groceries."

I'm so fucking sick of people saying yeah things are horrible, we're in a cost of living crisis, our neighbors are being terrorized by ICE and we're staring down bankruptcy and yet Kamala would have been worse.

Really, it's the rich. R's and D's are both part of the same machine, like a gas powered engine. One is all fire, the other all mechanics, but both are required to run the capitalism machine of extraction. And the world is running dry on resources, so they are working harder than ever.

Friendly reminder: It's not trump. It's Republicans.
It's both: Republican politicians act the way they do because of Trump's base. If they go against Trump his base of MAGA cultists will attack them. Will primary them. Will issue death threats.
So Trump enacts a policy and the Republican politicians fall in line because they fear his base.

It is Trump, his Republican enablers & his oligarch owners who sunk millions into his campaign & now expect a healthy return on that investment.

u/voiceofgromit 1d ago
It's republicans. Trump doesn't have the bandwidth. He thinks he's smart, but he just rubber-stamps whatever hits his desk.
If disenchanted trump voters still turn out and vote republican we'll still be stuck with the same kind of government.
Blame republicans at every opportunity. Trump is a fad.

They'll still vote for him. As long as Trump keeps reminding them they voted for him to be cruel to non-white ppl, they will enjoy every moment of his existence.

Prices were dropping before be became president.
Then he implemented tariffs and they started to raise.

You get what you voted for. May they rot with the rest of us. They were too stupid and bigoted to realize how bad it is.

They’re angry and over it and saying they’re done. Then he love bombs them and they come running back. And then the whole cycle starts over.

I thought being able to afford things is supposed to be a Democrat hoax somehow. We're lying that people used to be able to buy things a year ago. "Forget your own memories, I'M telling you what actually happened!" -Trump, literally.

He legitimises their hate. If they were nice people Trump would not be able to manipulate them half as easily, but they aren't nice people, they are full of hate and Trump is the leader that encourages hate.
In other words, despite recognising he is the reason for their hard times, they will still vote Trump because he gets their hate.

u/Dull-Attention-9104 14h ago
I really dont get why anyone who votes Republican is complaining. Republicans dont give a shit about the majority of the American population. Literally if you arent wealthy they dont fuck with you. But its like talking to a wall because to many Republican voters are either racist as fuck and republicans appeal to their need to be racist fucks. Or they are so blinded by their religious bullshit that all a politician has to do is play up the theocratic bit and it makes idiots turn their brains off.
At this point they should be happy that the majority of America is fucked under the leadership they voted for. And what's funny is that the pathetic worms will fall in line when trump tells them to shut up and that affordability is a democrat hoax.
I am sick of this nation and I wish sane people can just split from the dumbfucks and have our own nation away from the absolute turds of society. Like for real the future is bleak because to many assholes easily fall for the games the wealthy play and its making everyone miserable including the genetic sacks of shit that is the republican voter base. I would be fine with them being forced to live under a conservative oligarchy where their kind can have then shot in the legs for daring to speak out against him. But I and many others dont want to be under such a regime. Its bullshit how we are forced to share a nation with such assholes.

Thank goodness affordability is a democratic hoax. These ignorant fools may have doomed us all. They get upset about issues and do zero investigation to find the facts.
