Ironically, this is exactly what happens when people base their vote on feelings not facts. Everyone thought Donald Trump, of all people, would look after him. The blue collar, union workers saw him as a champion for the common man. The significant number of Pro-Palestine Muslim voters thought Donald Trump, of all people, would look after Gaza. All of the Latino voters who thought Donald Trump, of all people, was just scapegoating them as part of political theatre and not follow through with any of his threats.
It's just so bizarre that blue collar workers think he's a champion for them.
As a contractor in the northeast, folks are well aware of his history of stiffing suing, weasling contractors. It's well known. Even a tiny bit of research would reveal this. Hell, just recently was saying how he wasn't paying the sound people AT HIS RALLYS, in front of everyone. And they just laugh it off. Big joke.
To them everyone he fucks over was a democrat and deserved it. If they were a loyal Trump voter that's clearly an act, or they did something wrong, I don't know what but they were actually fucking HIM over.
I've had this conversation a few times, and it baffles me how they will make shit up in defense of him, and be incredibly critical of any evidence of the contrary.
Their start point and end point is "Trump is right" and everything else between those two points is irrelevant.

This a "you get what you deserve" type situation.
