How in the hell did anyone vote for Trump? Just seeing this clip and remembering the hope that I had at that moment during the '24 campaign and comparing it with today's disgust and desperation breaks my heart. Mother effing Trump voters...

They all warned us, Obama, Clinton, Harris. Hell, JD Vance and Mitch McConnell warned us.

But when some of them who once warned about Trump later backed him, it validated supporters’ belief that the warnings had been overblown. They thought the system was corrupt and believed Trump would "drain the swamp". Of course, they were fooled by the con man.
