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.

    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

      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.
