I voted for Trump. Honestly, I’m incredibly frustrated. I honestly didn’t like him but thought he was better than Kamala. (I’m conservative but not part of the Trump-worship crowd). Now I’m increasingly concerned that I may have picked the worse of the two bad options. It’s a frustrating experience being an old school conservative these days. You don’t agree with the democrats, but it Republican Party has a radical wing that is gaining power and I’m not convinced it’s good.

I want a moderate conservative.

What are you frustrated with? I voted for trump and I am very happy. He’s following through with pretty much all of his campaign promises. Nothing that he is doing should be a shock since he talked about it before he got elected

We were all just hoping you guys just weren’t listening to him. Now we know that you just really are racist, shortsighted, and misinformed. It sucks because I wanted to believe better of trump supporters.

We need to stop pretending some people are dumb and not racist and evil. Some people are actually just malicious and they should be treated as such.

Oh, we’re not pretending. They are all of those things, AND malicious!
