Regretful Young Trump Voters Say This Isnt What They Signed Up For (The Daily Beast)Several people under 30 who voted for the Republican candidate in 2024 have stated on the record that theyre frustrated by what appears to be a prioritization of foreign policy over America First governance.
It comes after a Jan. 16 poll from The Wall Street Journal revealed that 18-29-year-old voters had already dramatically cooled on Trump compared with less than a year before.
Only 32.6 percent approved of him in January, compared to 44.4 percent in March last year. He secured 47 percent of the under-30 vote during the 2024 electiona coup for a Republicanbut now those gains have been frittered away.

Have the integrity to ask yourself WHY and HOW you signed up for this. Have the integrity to do something about the answers you find.
They liked him for his entertainment factor. You know, shake things up in the stodgy government.
It's not unlike they were voting for a Prom King. Except they've been marinating in a toxic online stew for years where government has been described as evil and business tycoons (convicted felons included) are the heroes.
Hopefully they're woke now and will vote differently in the future.
