Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

"Do hateful bullshit to the people I don't like and I'll vote for you."
There, that's how their brains work. It's not some complicated mystery.
So why is this guy changing his mind now?
Because something Trump did affected him personally. He hasn't changed his beliefs or become a better person. He's just a selfish asshole who got fucked over.
That's not what he said but it's possible you know his mind better than he does
I read the article. Nothing in there contradicts my statement. His only stated reason for supporting Trump was that he was the "real deal". Trump's platform was entirely based on hateful bullshit every time he ran. The logical conclusion to take from that is he supported Trump because of the hateful bullshit.
He said it wasn't one thing but rather the accumulation of everything over time. There's no indication that "the gas prices broke him" or something.
I'm guessing he ended up being collateral damage and they always suddenly have a conscience when it's them gettin the fuckin.
I mean if we're doing caricatures liberal voters would be "tell me about how you're anti war and pro worker but then prioritize corporations and Israel once you're elected".
Ok? Trump supporters are still shitty hateful people.
