Summary
Consumer confidence has declined since Donald Trump’s return to office, with the University of Michigan reporting a drop in sentiment and rising inflation concerns.
Many Trump voters are frustrated by market turbulence and sweeping executive orders. Voter Paul Bisson fears economic instability, saying, “That’s not what we signed up for.”
Geneticist Nicholas Schuch plans to move savings to Swiss Francs, expecting ongoing chaos.
Polls indicate growing anxiety, with some supporters questioning Trump’s policies and their long-term economic impact.
I think I have seen a few anecdotal instances where I’m seeing cracks. One of them is likely to lose their job directly because of donvict being in office.
I have no sense of how widespread it really is, though. There is that guy running that channel about maga leaving the cult. And of course the media they watch will do nearly everything possible, as long as possible, to prop up the illusion of “Trump”.
That’s very optimistic. Remember people leaving the GOP ship in droves after Jan6? By 2024 they managed to return to trump somehow. Almost everything that happened in the past 3 weeks that is of consequence to peoples livelihoods had been entirely predictable. I wouldn’t count on the judgement, nor the political memory of people with sudden “trumpgret” in 2024.
