It saddens me that so many voted for Trump thinking he will be some sort of savior, when all I see is an opportunistic billionaire that does not have their interests in mind anymore than needed to maintain popular support... I fear consumer protections of all kinds will be gutted, the wealth gap will grow even wider, more wealth will be concentrated in fewer hands, and the US will be dealing with the fallout of these guttings for the next 20 years or more
It's possible that many Trump voters, like many voters of any other candidate, do not follow politics or dry news.

When, and if, these voters feel negative consequences of this administration's changes, who knows who they will blame?

Perhaps, by then, Trump will be out of office, and they will attribute changes they dislike to the next POTUS.

Voters don't read any election program, only slightly worse than the rest of the world.

I've often talked about doing a voting diploma. People got very mad for reasons I didn't bother to read.

A friend of mine has coeliac disease, his life literally depends on food produced to strict regulations and standards, the industry is all to often not upholding. Life is very different when your guts are a contamination sensor for failing regulations.

Decomplexification running amok, be it polpot or dodge, puts people for life dependant on a working systems like him literally on deaths ground. And you dont get to cope out: "we had the best of intentions, the idea is pure, where it not for the wicked, the flawed implementation". You get to eat thewhole meal.

To be viciously attacked by an anti-body who depends on what you attack to survive, and then see your idea tainted forever like facism and communism, simply another overdecorated funnel to falling apart. Some defeats ideologies do not walk away from.
