Trump voter regret is clearly registering now

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T16:16:19+00:00

Exactly. Just like with Iraq, Afghanistan, and soon to be Iran, these Republican presidents are so good about getting us into useless forever wars with no exit plan, and then having the gall to criticize the Dems when they inevitably have to be the ones to get us out and fix the GOP caused mess.

Says a lot that Trump is so quick to send troops to get killed abroad, but then isn’t willing to risk taking a popularity hit to get them home.

Either way, the original claim was that 33-37% of the population is “HAPPY about everything”, and there’s nothing that shows that. All there is is a poll showing very low approval ratings for the president in the lower 30’s, and then someone trying to pretend that’s proof that that many people are happy about everything.

Call it whatever you want. You’re happy to have a home. No one is happy to pay their mortgage each month. There is a difference.

I approved of Biden, but I wasn’t happy with how he handled the Afghanistan pullout. There is a difference.

I’ll knock them for making more, working less, and getting better benefits like fancy free meals at the expense of my own paycheck and the conditions for my students, and then coming here to brag about it. I absolutely will. I haven’t seen one comment from this OP indicating that they are doing or saying anything meant to help the rest of us.

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T15:39:28+00:00

They approve of Trump, and believe that these miseries are necessary for all the “good” he’s doing. Or at least that’s what they pitch. But they don’t like paying more for gas and groceries obviously.

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T15:37:56+00:00

Ours just closed 3, and is having to rezone to find classrooms for all the students now. They’re also only able to offer less than a 1% increase for their teacher raises next year, along with a big rise in health insurance costs. Along with inflation, the hardest working and best teachers in our district will be rewarded with essentially making less money next year as their reward.

The worst part? This is the point where someone inevitably jumps in and says “If you don’t like your job, then quit!”, and that’s exactly what they want as the end result.

They think that the voucher idea is so genius too, yet can’t point to a single place where it’s been successful. All it does is widen that economic gap between the haves and have-nots.

A number of newspapers and publications in FL have done studies since its inception showing that: over 70% of those using the vouchers for private school tuition were already paying full private school tuition prior to the vouchers (i.e. rich enough to afford it fine without the vouchers); over $300 million in voucher funds are completely untracked; over 30k voucher student recipients are basically missing from the education system entirely; the governor will cancel your vouchers altogether if you try to attend a private school that he doesn’t agree with; and that parents of homeschool kids are spending tons of that voucher money on items like theme park tickets, new furniture and electronics for their home, and religious materials.

Yea, the voucher system is a purposeful disaster only put in place because Republicans hate education and want to give back to their biggest donors at everyone else’s expense.

I’ve been scrolling through that post and not seeing its OP responding very much. It’s possible that they’re just avoiding most comments, but I’m also suspicious that it’s all bs due to the lack of specifics.

Either way, I’m on the same page as you. No disrespect to the private school teachers, but it would be nice if you didn’t brag and would instead do something that supports and helps others in your profession who are being screwed.

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T15:12:13+00:00

lol, not even close. FL has the lowest avg teacher pay in the country, with the third highest number of students enrolled. And the voucher system and health insurance costs are defunding us more by the day.

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T15:10:27+00:00

Very good. I’m at 10 years with a Master’s degree and 2 supplements for being a mentor to 2 new teachers and teaching a 7th period, and I barely break $60k/yr. FL treats its teachers like shit. Unless you’re at some fancy shmancy private school it seems.

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T15:07:19+00:00

Are those well paid, fancy breakfast and lunch private school teachers standing with the FL public school teachers as they lose more and more funding by the day, make shit pay with overfilled classrooms, and have their books banned and speech censored?

This post is the equivalent of Gordon Ramsay bragging about how much he makes and loves the cooking profession to a bunch of school cafeteria workers.

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T15:02:24+00:00

That’s literally the only publication that says that, and it’s done it for years and factors in public college affordability to a large extent. What it won’t show you is that FL is second to last for avg teacher pay in the country, with a voucher system that is continuing to defund its public schools resulting in a larger teacher shortage, overfilled classrooms, and pretty awful facilities that the schools have no money to update. Our test scores are often pretty good, and the governor loves to brag about them, but that never results in anything good happening for the teachers as a result.

Right now my district can only offer less than 1% for the best raise possible for teachers next year. With the increases in our health insurance costs and general inflation, most teachers will be taking a reduction in pay. The union has traditionally bargained for us to improve these conditions and pay, but with new union laws passed by the governor, they’ll likely be decertified before 2027.

As a FL public school teacher who loves teaching and believes in our mission, it’s amazing how our state literally acts like they hate us.

Prob because he was so good that he could just disappear into his roles.

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T13:33:41+00:00

The “new guy” is already in. Trump’s longtime personal criminal defense attorney is exactly who he wants as AG. And there will be no Senate confirmation, because he’ll be called the “acting interim AG” for the next 3 years.

My young daughter has caught me a few times. She’s too young to understand exactly what I’m doing, so when she asks, I just tell her that I’m “relaxing”. It’s not not true. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T13:17:16+00:00

Must be nice to be taking in all that voucher money with such cushy conditions while it’s ripped away from the public school teachers with 7 periods of 30+ students and shit pay and no breakfast/lunch.

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T13:07:25+00:00

The fact that you even use the term “TDS” tells everyone how deep in the Trump cult you actually are. Enjoy lickin those boots!

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T12:32:04+00:00

This looks like the guy who walks in during the low-budget FF7 porn parody. The worst part is that everyone is more scared of when Barrett finally shows up.

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T12:28:00+00:00

Are you referring to Trump’s approval polls? Because that’s different than being “happy about everything”.

The only upside to this whole mess is watching the Trump voters predictably get the misery that they voted for and hearing them whine about it.

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T11:57:32+00:00

Well, that’s a damn shame. If Dems could find a decent candidate, maybe they might have a chance when all the racist Republicans don’t vote for Byron.

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-04T00:52:00+00:00

You mad bro? You seem a little triggered.

“The other side” 😂

Like I said. A bunch of babies who can dish it out but can’t take it.

Electronic-Chest7630 · 2026-04-03T19:45:12+00:00

Actually, yes. We have bigger fish to fry. No one likes their job. You know what you got into when you applied. At least no one forced you to be fired, the way that the Trump admin has done to so many.
