The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Two different parents not realizing that Trump's plan to get rid of the Dept of Education means their special needs children would put the services their children need at risk.

Small business owner finding out that eliminating the ACA means his health insurance costs will go up, if he can get health insurance at all due to his preexisting conditions.

Wife of a veteran figures out that Trump's plan to cut VA benefits means her husband may no longer get the medical care he relies on at the VA.

(A few pol complaints which I will skip - they weren't stupid or deluded, they knew who they were supporting)

Neighbor who was all happy that Trump was going to save the economy learns that tariffs cost him money that he can't afford.

Company announces no bonuses because the potential tariffs are forcing them to spend cash on inventory purchases instead.

Trump's plan to eliminate EV tax credit causes Tesla stock to fall. Musk is OK with that because it's screwing his competition. Sorry Tesla stock owners, or anyone who was waiting for EV prices to come down as competition heats up.

Friend who voted for Trump is sad because his grandmother may get deported. Bummer. You can go visit her in Columbia.

YouTube: Trump Voters LOSE IT after BRUTAL REALITY CHECK (MeidasTouch)

20 minute video and a bit wandering. Definitely left leaning. No, not leaning. Falling far over to the left. Anti-MAGA idiocy.
