Focus group: Trump swing voters in Michigan have buyers' remorse

[highplainsdem]

Source: Axios

Most Michigan swing voters in our latest Engagious/Sago focus groups said that although they voted for President Trump in November, they have objections, frustrations and fears about his behavior since he returned to power.

Driving the news: Ten of 13 participants from this battleground, auto-industry state bordering Canada said what they're seeing isn't what they thought they were voting for — and they're worried Trump's approach may hurt their pocketbooks.

"Erratic," "frightening," "disruptive" and "dictator" were among the words they used to describe their concerns.

The Michigan voters felt differently after more exposure to Elon Musk, DOGE, large-scale federal worker firings, tariffs and no relief on prices.

These are still conservative voters. They still didn't like Kamala Harris. But they're turning against Trump.

These were voters who said they'd voted for Biden in 2020, then voted for Trump last year. 8 independents (who are usually conservative), 4 Republicans, 1 Democrat.

1. Harris Voters have remorse about trump voters

But trump loves his voters. Can they feel the love?

[Demovictory9]

2. And the other 3 of thirteen are idiots

[groundloop]

3. Most Americans are idiots who don't pay attention and have no memory

It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to remember tRump 1.0. THIS is why the GQP is anti-education.

[Hope22]

4. They have remorse...

…I have a sick belly, a brain that won’t quit out of fear of what these people voted to let back in the WH and anger at the selfish stupidity of these people! But your remorse…that must really give you a case of the sads!

[IronLionZion]

5. I'm so disappointed in Trump swing voters even more than his base

they knew what he was since this is his second term. They were hoping he would screw someone else.

[turbinetree]

6. Fuck them and that goddamn horse they ride...............kind of tired of their buyer remorse BS too.........

[SKKY]

7. His plans were laid out in Project 2025. If they didn't read it, I don't know what to tell them...

...It's like what I used to say to my junior Sailors when they would cry and complain about getting orders to a ship. "If you joined the Navy, but didn't know the earth is covered 71% by water, I don't know what to tell you."

[JadedButHopeful]

8. Say it with me....

This is EXACTLY what they voted for.

They just figured that the chaos wouldn't affect them.

[sarisataka]

9. It's called consequences

[multigraincracker]

10. Don't blame me. I didn't vote for a king.

[Stuckinthebush]

11. Voted for Biden in 2020

But "didn't like Kamala Harris".

Hmmm...I wonder what it is they didn't like about her?

[CrispyQ]

32. 6.3 million of them!

WTAF?

I'm actually more angry with them than Trump voters.

[Martin68]

12. Hope we can survive until the mid-term elections.

[FakeNoose]

13. At this point they should ALL have buyer's remorse

That is, all the Chump voters who are paying attention.

[aggiesal]

14. Latest MAGA theme ...

Morons

Governing
America

or

Morons
Are
Governing
Again

I like the first one better.

15. What in the name of hell

did they think would happen? Were they in a four year coma the last time? He constantly yammered about tariffs during the campaign. Apparently they weren't listening.

[TicketyBoo]

16. "On the other hand:

Only one of the 10 Trump voters-turned-critics said they'd choose Kamala Harris for president if they could do it over."

Dummies.

.

[Strelnikov_]

18. Yep

That’s the kicker.

[yardwork]

27. Nauseating.

[NotHardly]

17. They entered the FAFO phase...too bad they didn't have critical thinking sooner.

[Buddyzbuddy]

19. Yuh think?

[republianmushroom]

20. To hell with you 'Trump swing voters in Michigan'

Idiots getting what they deserve. Assholes, only wanted it to destroy everyone but them.

[ananda]

22. Do they now. Isn't that precious.

23. "Don't come bitching to me"--Billy Joel

[Dulcinea]

24. Cry me a river.

This is what they voted for. Tough shitski. It's too bad the rest of us will suffer too.

[Carlitos Brigante]

25. "You know, morons" - Jim nt

[JohnSJ]

[CrispyQ]

31. They didn't see erratic, disruptive, & frightening before?

Seen on FB:

I still can't believe over 77 million people booked a second trip on the Titanic.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

33. Kamala Harris offered OPPORTUNITY and a FUTURE..tRump offered CHAOS and DOUBT.

Voters in Michigan could not bring themselves to vote for Opportunity and Hope for the Future.

Continuing to make it a habit to vote AGAINST one's better Economic and Social interests will increase BUYER'S REMORSE every time. They never learn.

[oldsoldierfadingfast]

34. He who laughs last...

laughs loudest.
I should be laughing at those with remorse; but, I feel more like crying at what they have done to themselves and the rest of us.
