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”
Yes you did. This is who he said he would be. You just ignored everyone pointing that out because they were just some derogatory version of liberal to you. People who cared about things like rights, the Constitution, the corruption of the Checks And Balances in our government. But let’s face it, the real reason you care at all is because it’s finally affecting you personally. Your government handouts are on the ropes. Your medicare, medical costs, and food supplies are all hurting you and going to get worse. This would all be fine if people were just being tossed into the backs of unmarked vans by masked “officers”, protesters seeking equal rights were shot at and firehosed, and forests were clearcut for timber, coal, and oil platforms. But now it’s making difficulty for you personally, so you care.
