They Voted for Trump. Here’s Why They Feel Betrayed
Two-thirds of people in California’s 22nd Congressional district rely on Medicaid. But the majority of the district also voted to elect President Trump in 2024. We went to talk to residents to see what they think about Trump’s proposed cuts to Medicaid. One Trump voter told us: “I feel like they’re stabbing us in the back, you know?”

Most of you Trump voters will be part of the Trump/Miller culling to rid America of 100 million.

The crazy thing is Trump mishandling during the COVID pandemic with his lies about vaccinations and face masks that he said can "ruined" their lives while he left many Americans died in that pandemic back in 2020(even some of those who voted Trump who had lost their relatives from the pandemic) and then, they voted him in 2024 as if nothing was happened back then. 🤦

This is why we need a voters license like a drivers license. Some people shouldn’t be allowed to vote until they understand civics and general knowledge.

I have said and will continue to say, I have zero sympathy for MAGA voters. They deserve whatever they get because they foisted the cruelty on the rest of us due to their racism and sexism.

I voted for Biden an lost my job. Now I voted for Trump and, again, lost my job. So, i think, the problem is not in Trump/Biden. The problem is with you all. And the people should occupy Wall St. one again, now with the guns

I’m so sorry that so many innocent people are being hurt but the truth needed to be revealed to these people. They needed the see how trump really is and they needed to face their own racism. The truth hurts. So called Christians are in this group. They need to read God’s word for themselves, don’t just listen to the preachers.

Trump was yelling nonstop about retribution, while Kamala ran on helping people. But they heard him raging about retribution and thought, "❤ Trump really cares about me ❤"
Unfcking believable …

Amazing how many Republican voters were dumb enough to believe Trump when he promised not to deprive them of their health care and social security. The more he takes from them, the more goes into the pockets of his real supporters, his millionaire buddies.

Did the democrats say anything when Biden went after our fossil fuel drilling and GAS DIESEL GROCERIES HOUSING HEATING ALL WENT WAY UP IN COST!
We Biden opened our southern border to millions of illegal immigrants criminals traffickers Fentenal terrorists and gangs and giving them free housing groceries medical schooling on the taxpayers dime?
Did the democrats say anything when Biden shut down our economy for 2 years and mandated workers to vaccinate or lose their jobs with no unemployment?
Did the democrats say anything when Biden had 2 wars giving Ukraine billions of endless taxpayers money with no accountability?
Did the democrats say anything when males were in female sports restroom locker rooms and gender change on children?
President Trump took all this on and is working tirelessly to get medications down, bring jobs back to America, getting dangerous illegal criminals traffickers Fentenal terrorists and gangs out of our country, making peace overseas instead of throwing taxpayers money to foreign countries!
Democrats have done nothing for the American people but helped illegal immigrants with free housing groceries medical schooling on the taxpayers dime! Wake up!
