Wall Street Journal: Trump Voters Splinter Over His Rapid Shake-Up of Washington
WSJ ^ | Feb 17 | WSJ

Posted on 02/17/2025 2:22:09 PM PST by RandFan

Staci White said she voted for President Trump because she wanted lower prices and to stop fentanyl from coming into the U.S.

Now, with widespread federal layoffs and expected cuts, she worries her family will lose their house if her partner is laid off from his government-adjacent job. At the dialysis unit where she works, staff have started doing drills for what to do if Immigration and Customs Enforcement comes to deport their patients, some of whom are in the country illegally.

“When we said safer borders, I thought he was thinking ‘let’s stop the drugs from coming into the country,’” she said. “I didn’t know he was going to start raiding places.” She said she didn’t believe he would actually follow through on some of the more hard-line policies he touted during the campaign.

“Now I’m like: ‘Dang, why didn’t I just pick Kamala?’” said the 49-year-old Omaha, Neb., resident, referring to the former vice president and last-minute Democratic nominee.

Actually, I want more of these propaganda stories “out there” because it gives the liberals hope that 2024 was an aberration, not a political trend.

Any cutting of federal government employment, grants, subsidies, etc. Will hit the democrat coalition harder than the Republican coalition, that’s already been gutted by deindustrialization, environmental zealotry, anti agriculture policies, & hyper-urbanization.

How much USAID gets dumped into this pit of vipers? Who owns the Wall Street? Maybe they are listed as a ‘holy’ charity?

No one I know is. In fact, some that were not Trump fans are beginning to become Trump fans, and rather quickly I might add.

WSJ hates Trump with a passion, just like NRO.

Fake news. The voters are happy with him finally starting to expose and root out all the waste and fraud in the federal government and we’re quite happy to see a bunch of federal government leeches get introduced to reality.

“How do we even know she actually VOTED for Trump, rather than claiming such.”

I’ll bet she’s a “Life-Long Republican” too.
