These Iowans voted for Trump. Many of them are already disappointed.
Washington Post ^ | February 26, 2017

Tom Godat, a union electrician who has always voted for Democrats, cast his ballot for Donald Trump last year as “the lesser of two evils” compared to Hillary Clinton. He’s already a little embarrassed about it. There’s a lot that Godat likes about President Trump, especially his pledge to make the country great again by ignoring lobbyists, challenging both political parties and increasing the number of good-paying jobs.

I’m sure there are plenty of people who wished they hadn’t voted for Xlinton. Of course they won’t go looking for THOSE people.

Many Iowans worry Trump might cut support for wind-energy and ethanol programs

Programs that could not exist without taxpayer subsidies. They should be allowed to survive or fail on their own.

Dr. Oz: EEG Brain Scans Reveal Fake News Threatens Your Health

Observer ^ | 2/23/17 | Dr. Mehmet Oz

Posted on 2/23/2017, 9:55:44 AM by Mozilla

Our show will spotlight a first-of-its-kind social experiment to identify the dangerous and disruptive effect of fake news on our brains. We had high profile fake news creator Jestin Coler craft two fictional stories: one designed to prey on liberals and another on conservatives.
Women read the articles, not knowing they were fake, as neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen gathered quantitative EEG assessments.

The findings supported results of a functional MRI study recently published in Nature Scientific Reports, which showed how challenging a person’s political beliefs could activate the parts of the brain associated with emotion and self-identity.

A self-described liberal woman in our social experiment reported feeling sad after reading a fictional article on illegal immigrants, but revealed stronger irritation and anger when processing a fake story about a jailed climate change researcher. Simultaneous changes in her brain activity were also much greater when processing the climate change story and correlated with a strong emotional response of angst and fear.

A conservative woman demonstrated opposite reactions. For her, the article on illegal immigration elicited changes in brain activity changes that you would see during a physical threat.

The women were not told that the articles were fake until they were seated on stage. What happened next was startling. First, the women understandably, but awkwardly, tried to defend why they believed the false stories, rather than expressing frustration that they had been duped. This natural human tendency was highlighted by one woman’s comment that while the news was fake, it reinforced a truth she felt about our country—so the piece was tolerable.

In a month, Trump hasn’t eliminated the national debt, balanced the budget, created 60 million $40/hour jobs, nor rebuilt all the freeways. What a shmuck.

The list very good reasons why they like Trump and they’re still applicable so I see no reason for people to be disappointed after only 1 month.

Unless of course it’s fake news.

If I read the article right, there was one person (a Democrat) who voted for Trump instead of Hillary as a “lesser of two evils” thing.

That’s about it. Not a laundry list of Iowans who voted for Trump and are disappointed. Just one.

Not going to give them traffic. Didn’t need to read it as my fake news detector hit the red.

This seems to be a thing with the Left: Quote a few people, pretend it's widespread. Did the same crap after the Brexit vote.

The Washington Post would never have written this junk story in February 2017 had Clinton won.

Washington post is the evil. As long as we give them free press here the MSM will win.

Yeah we’re all sorry Hilary didn’t win, after her tremendous concession speech that night. Oh that’s right she couldn’t hack it. God Bless President Trump.

About 30 years I noticed WaPo was “Pravda on Potomac.” Over the decades they just gotten worse.

Fake news.

Its only been a month and according to Jeff Bezos’ rag, Iowans are already “disappointed?”

They make things up as they go along.

As I read this article, I found that none of the hardcore Trump supporters were interviewed. The people Jenna (followed her on Twitter throughout campaign and she’s biased) interviewed either voted for Trump because they didn’t like Hillary (lukewarm voters) or voted for Hillary. There were a lot of Hillary voters interviewed! This is a deceptive article.
