It is finally paying off having gently and methodically exposed the now former trumpsters to his regular BS with actual videos of his own words, presented in context, without my comments to allow them to soak in it rather than fight back defending him because I didnt actually attack him. I simply let his own words convict him without piling on. Then patiently waiting for an opportunity to hammer it home after the sh!t hit the proverbial fans within their own experience and observations.
Some via gas and food prices demolishing their budgets... that he swore he'd fix.
Some via lost health insurance a/o excessively high premiums due to major cutbacks for Obama-care subsidies they relied on that trump et al destroyed, along with major cuts to Medicaid so they (sadly) have nowhere to turn to.
Some via higher taxes on their income a/o property due to massive CUTS for school assistance, education & science grants, colleges, business & school loans, roads, and other necessary federal funds always counted on to run local & state government, social safety net agencies, police and fire departments, and so on that funds for are now dried up and have to come from somewhere else, namely through higher or new TAXES else they cease to exist. Blue states especially where large volumes of trumpsters also reside. They may enjoy "owning or punishing the libs", but those cuts punishe THEM too. Often hurting them more than the liberals they so gleefully oppose - who actually got the funding and legislation passed for safety net assistance to begin with.
Some via employment difficulties due to job losses or factory closings because of his arbitrary and outrageous tariffs and/or unethical exploitation of businesses... all in favor of enriching himself and his cronies.
Some to rabid cultural war themes (anti-abortion laws, safety net cutbacks like food stamps, fuel assistance, rent control, vicious immigration policies, etc) that hurt them a/o their loved ones, co-workers, neighbors, and their even their jobs ...
The ridiculous war of choice with Iran that has caused their loved ones, friends, neighbors, a/o co-workers to have their lives disrupted and threatened.
The idiotic choices he's made in appointing incompetent AHs to positions of power they are woefully unqualified for that have instituted terrible policies affecting them, loved ones, friends, neighbors, etc.
and so much more...
All without ever uttering "I told you so" (something I abhor anyone saying to someone in a pickle regardless of blame for not listening). Instead, sympathizing with them and pointing out whose fault it actually is for such changes happening in cuts in government benefits, tariffs, higher costs, and government interference in personal decisions.
Now they are actively angry and are spreading the word, multiplying those who've turned on trump.
It's kind of amazing just HOW BAD the GOP (and trump, in particular), have been to communities and citizens across the country. It is as if "these dementors are sucking our 'souls' out through our eyeballs with straws made of our own innards"**.
