'He's a crook': Trump probably not winning back ex-supporters who 'absolutely hate him'

https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-2024-2667063357/

'Trump is no longer the political outsider who appealed to some undecided voters but instead has run three campaigns, served four years in office and utterly dominated political coverage for nearly a decade, and that will likely make it difficult to win back all the voters he's alienated.'

“I can’t vote for Trump. He’s a crook. He’s too corrupt,” said...a 64-year-old independent voter from Amherst, New Hampshire, who voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020. “I voted for him, and I didn’t realize he’s as corrupt as he is.”

“I liked him, but he just scares me now – everybody that has ever worked for him is not any more,”...“I would go with Biden.”

My words: Well, that's something, I guess. But, Trump has shown us who he is since the moment he mimicked a disabled person before the cameras and the world. So fuck him, and fuck them, too. Remember what Maya Angelou said, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

What's terrifying is that Trump got a lot more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016.

But maybe that's just part of being President, people who aren't paying much attention will just vote for the incumbent.

he won't vote or he'll vote for a 3rd party. He won't vote for Biden because he's a "socialist".
