One is Michael Lyras, a 44-year-old American, who lives in Volusia County, near Orlando, in central Florida. Lyras studied addiction counseling in college but is currently disabled and receiving food stamps. He voted for Trump “all three times” but says he is upset with the way things are going: “I regret my last vote enormously,” he says.
“It was necessary to make changes, but not in this way, sacrificing our civil rights and liberties that are enshrined in our Constitution,” Lyras adds. “He [Trump] is turning this into a police state and he’s acting like an authoritarian. I didn’t vote for any of this”
I’m not saying changes aren’t needed. But anyone who is demanding change has some idea of what kind of change they want. Nuclear annihilation would be change, but they probably don’t support that.
Even just the fact that they are upset is evidence that they wanted something more specific than just change. You can’t be disappointed without having some kind of expectations first.
What changes they want are to have enough money to survive and not be lower income like so many Republican voters are.
That doesn’t mean they understand economics or social issues to correctly identify the cause.
