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.
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.
Bullshit. Trump supporters have no idea what “market turbulence” means and are cheering the executive orders. This is just manipulative feel-good bullshit.
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.”
They really wrote a whole-ass article about two random schmucks lol
<jules>
Yes you DID. YES YOU DID!
</jules>
And it’s going to be a whole fuck-ton more than just economic instability, you dumbasses.
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.
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.
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.
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
Until they stop admitting to voting for Trump or start outright saying, “We fucked up,” this is just nitpicking his priorities.
what you are describing is a behavior that is not ascribed to humans
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.
That’s correct. they are celebrating 🥳
A root cause analysis of these people lead me to draw one conclusion.
THEY ARE DUMBFUCKS!!
“This chaos isn’t what I signed up for” says people who voted for chaos goblin who told people he wanted chaos
Get entirely fucked trump voters. As well as the people who told me that BoTh SiDeS aRe ThE sAmE and TrUmP wIlL nOt Be WoRsE tHaN GeNoCiDe JoE oR KiLlEr KaMaLa
The "I told you so"s will never be worth it.
“best we can do is several genocides”
Wow a 5% decline… … … …
Chaos is exactly what you signed up for, maybe read the fucking fine print next time.
The perma stun proceeds.
Vote for a grand wizard, expect collateral damage from the fireballs.
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.”
Unless they are done being class traitors, I hope they starve.
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…
Exactly. Also, be prepared to do it in stages. I’m sure a lot of people probably aren’t ready to admit that voting for Trump was a mistake, but they might be willing to admit that Trump is making mistakes by starting a trade war or giving Musk so much power. Take what common ground you find and try to build on it.
