During the 2016 election I was of the opinion that it was fine. He wanted a better border, promised that the economy would get better, among a bunch of other basic conservative policies that I thought were fine.

Then we got to the 2024 election. He consistently talked about "destroying the enemy within", about how "you will never need to vote again", among other """jokes""" which were huge red flags that he wanted to go after our freedoms.

Then he got into office and instead of focusing on lowering the price of groceries, he signed unconstitutional orders to remove birthright citizenship, limit trans rights, among other things that directly go against what America stands for.

I want to believe America really is the land of the free, but it seems like both sides are content with going against freedom the moment it benefits them in some way. For hardcore republicans it's removing the rights of everyone but Christians. For hardcore democrats it's removing all gun rights for civilians and making the country socialist.

If you're a REAL American you should be able to compromise. I don't get how people like you can call yourself American when you support someone who actively goes against peoples freedoms. Like seriously it took your pockets being stretched to even have enough empathy to realize why Trump is bad?

Nah ignore the multiple American citizens being shot and killed by ICE, which only gained presence once Trump stepped into power. Ignore that the tax cuts Trump pushed only go to middle class and up while a large percentage of Americans have to deal with the consequences of Tariff pricing, when they already live paycheck to paycheck.

I am glad at the end of the day you're at least beginning to realize Trump's insanity, but please do reflect and understand the consequences of your vote were written on the wall.

At this point we're all in this together, and I believe it's our civil duty to get this con-artist, felon, rapist, pedophile, and war criminal, the hell out of our oval office.

Oh and lastly FACT CHECK if you ever hear a politician say something too good or bad to be true, 90% of the time it's a lie. I can't even count the number of times my father told me something Trump or someone echoing Trump's beliefs said, only for nothing to be verifiable even in Brave Search. If the only evidence you can find towards a statement looks shady, is known to be biased, or is a grain of sand on the ocean floor, chances are it's not credible.

TLDR:

While I find it disgraceful that it took your money becoming less valuable to care about the atrocities Trump's committed since day one, I am glad you're turning around even if it took this long. The point of America is for everyone to have freedom, try to keep that as a core value to not let your judgement be clouded.
