Two interviews with trump voters stick in my mind from his first term.
One was a Hispanic Voter from the Southwest who was in a mixed status hosehold. The wife and their US born children were US citizens but the husband/father was undocmented. ICE picked him up in a raid one day out of the blue and deported him. He wasn't involved in any criminal activity and had been in the US for at least a decade - quite possibly longer. The wife was like "what am I going to do now?" She had voted for Trump, knew all about the build the wall rhetoric, but apparently thought her husband/family would never be personally impacted.
The other was a woman whose family had a farm in the heartland - maybe KS or NE and this was when Trump was in his tough on China mode and put sanctions on Chinese imports. IIRC, he thought it would "fix" the trade deficit. The Chinese retaliated by cancelling contracts on Soybeans. It was near harvest time and prices plunged as farmers sought a buyer - any buyer
and at pretty much any price- to take the soybeans. The Trump voter's response was that "the wrong people were getting hurt!"
I wonder how many times we'll hear similar stories in 2025 from Trump voter's who just love it when someone else is devestated, but are outraged when it is their turn to get shafted!!
