To wonder what US Trump voters think now

[Indiependant]

Their country's reputation trashed. The man they voted for heavily implicated in the Epstein scandal. Contempt shown to them abroad.
About to completely shift Ukraine. Enabling Netanyahu to commit mass murder of children with their tax dollars. No roaring economy. The environment fucked probbaky beyond saving due to their inaction.
What, in all honesty, do the 75 million who have caused this catastrophe think?

The main thing to hope for is that middle America is appalled. He’s not getting enough states by just getting MAGA votes. Plus he cannot run again - watch this space though. The Republicans need to wrest back control. Quickly.

Many Americans are wholly insular. They don’t give a shiny shit about Ukraine or Gaza or international law. It’s a well known political ploy to get a war going or a show of force to alter conversations. Thatcher had the Falkland Islands. Will China invade Taiwan? International law no longer matters it appears.

The worrying thing is that he’s turning into an elected dictator. Americans should be very afraid and there’s a risk they won’t see the back of him come the next candidate round.

"vast"?

Trump secured less than 50% of votes cast (49.8% to be specific).

How on earth does that equate to the “vast majority of voters”?

I only regret that I didn’t vote for him in 2016. I thought he was a joke. But he was actually pretty good all things considered so went through all the effort to register and send an overseas ballot.

I am hopeful the state of his health will deal with the 3rd term crap. Although appreciate Vance is the prat in waiting

Don't give a damn what you do to yourselves. Insular doesn't cover it..

@24kPalamino Trump secured less than 50% of votes cast (49.8% to be specific).

But I believe he won 31states out of 50 (that is 62%!) and Kamala only won 19. 12 of those 19 states with no document requirement. Only 2 of Trumps 31 states with no document required.

Do you know how many people actually voted for Labour in last elections? Labour secured only 33.7 % of the national vote. Yet it ended up with 411 out of 650 seats in the House of Commons, roughly 63 % of the seats!

Kamala won more votes where ID and photo ID was not required.

This poster's syntax and punctuation isn't even slightly American so evidently a bot or paid stooge.

Then why participate on a thread musing over what Trump voters are thinking now? I feel I can directly answer that query, given I’m a 2x Trump voter …

"Pretty good"? He did exactly what every other Republican president has ever done and wrecked a strong economy.

You don't have to tell us how skewed the US electoral system is. Cornfields basically get votes...

How can you be a 2 x Trump voter?

You said yourself you weren’t registered to vote in 2016?

centre right tends to mean... eugenics isn't all that bad, is it? I mean, eating pork is a MINIMUM commitment one has to have to live in this country...

My stock portfolio says otherwise. Wages were rising with none of the inflation at the time (though yes, COVID measures were to blame for that one). Used to go home with empty bags, fill it up with cheap stuff; I no longer do that for the most part because it’s all got so expensive. Now I just buy more niche items you can’t get elsewhere.

What other Republican presidents do is immaterial to me. I never voted for any GOP prior to Trump. They were shit too.

If he gave a shit about what is "going on in Caracas" he would have put the opposition leader in power. But he won't, because she beat him to the Nobel Peace Prize, petty repugnant toad that he is.

Yeah I didn’t vote for him in 2016. I didn’t vote at all. I voted in 2020 and 2024.

Ah OK. I’d forgotten he was so popular after his first term he failed to get re-elected.

But then did, not many do two non consecutive terms. Biden staying in that long when not well didn’t help.

do humans not have rights?

Because the majority of the OP was about foreign policy....
Again so insular..

Harris didn’t get much time to campaign - if Biden had stepped down sooner she would have been a stronger candidate.

I will never, ever understand women voting for a man convicted of sexually abusing a woman. Ever. (Waiting for MAGA sympathisers to tell me the jury were corrupt, she was older than 10 etc.).

Idk sounds like you prefer it if America was more insular. Well I do too tbh

Some are as deranged as him, some have a low IQ, some lack critical thought, some are mega nationalists, some are far right evangelical nuts, some just buy into and are majorly swayed by propaganda perpetuated by social media.

Lots of reasons for still supporting Trump. What he did in Venezuela was clearly illegal but Maduro is also a criminal and dictator who has plunged the country into poverty - he won’t be missed.

Not a Trump fan by the way but I understand why he still has some support. He’s flagging in the polls though due to cost of living crisis.
