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”
This stupid-ass “both sides” bullshit is why we have Trump as president.
This guy is not a “progressive” you fucking moron.
I have had several Trump voting friends tell me they would have voted for Bernie Sanders instead if it was an option. I think we misunderstand at least some of those voters. If progress is not on the table some percentage of people will vote to burn it all down. It’s not the choice I would make but it is consistent in its own unique way.
No shit. But he promised change when the opposition insisted nothing was wrong
Obviously he was lying, but he provided hope while the “adults in the room” promised nothing would change
