36. I ask Trumpers why they voted the way they did. They all say "America first." A two-word slogan, and they relate to it.

"Make America Great Again," everyone knows that one. I mean, everyone. "No taxes on tips," is another one. Doesn't matter they may lose healthcare and have to pay more for groceries, but they believe Trump is one the side of ordinary people. Another thing I hear them say is Laken Riley. They all want to talk about Laken Riley. It doesn't matter there have been 200,000 murders in the past decade, all they want to talk about is the illegal immigrant who committed one of those murders and compare Biden and Trump on immigration.

So yes, I agree with what you are saying.
