When Will Congress Double The Military Budget And Also Give Any Surplus To Police

Do any Republicans regret voting for Trump?

While I am not personally a Trump voter, I can give you what I’ve been told by two of my relatives, both of whom did vote for him.The first voted for him “against her will”, because she could not stand the idea of Hillary Clinton being President. She watches Fox News, and she bought into the whole dark mythology they invented around the Clintons - she STILL believes a lot of it, although I’ve been able to show her proof that many of their stories are so blatantly false as to be ridiculous. (And, when I showed her the REpublican Congress budget cuts to overseas security, and Clinton’s furious attempts to restore those budgets and her very public protests about the cuts that simply didn’t get press at the time, she suddenly realized why the “Clinton is responsible for Benghazi” argument holds no water).When I posted about my children and my health issues and how keeping the ACA in place is largely the best possible way for my family to continue being able to access care, she realized, quite suddenly, just what she had voted for. Until November 10th or so, she was just voting AGAINST Hillary Clinton. After that, she realized she had voted FOR hurting people she knew. She said it was like everywhere she went she realized there were all these people specifically benefiting from things she had been told helped no one. And she hadn’t noticed, because Fox News didn’t tell her about that.She regrets her vote. She says now she would have not voted at all or written in the weatherman’s name, if she had realized what she was voting FOR, not just laser-focused on who she was voting AGAINST.Another family member was a loud Trump fan. Voted for him with something like GLEE. It was pretty awful. Also a Fox News watcher.He was thrilled on January 20th. Loved the inauguration speech. Thought it would “take us back to the good old days”, although he could not seem to define what he MEANT by that when asked for details as to what ‘good old days’ he wanted to return to.Within the last few months, his gleeful support has become quieter and quieter. About a month ago, it stopped altogether.Why?I’m not sure. But I do know a week ago he said, “I thought they’d show him how to be President. I thought he’d want to BE President.” And he, the gleeful red-hat-wearing “whatever makes the libtards mad” Trump voter, said he feels like he was tricked.
