Survey: MAGA voters don't believe Trump will do the bad things he said he would

?w=1011&quality=80&ssl=1

They don’t believe he will do any of the bad things he promised he would, so why did they vote for him?

One possible answer: they do believe he will conduct mass deportations (interestingly, not included in the chart above)

More, including a discussion of why so many Democratic voters stayed home, at link:

believes any of this will touch them. They are the exception and Trump will never hurt them.

These folks are college educated, Sunday go to church, “family values” folks.

It makes no sense.

AND the dipshits he hires are so vastly incompetent that they can't manage to get anything done.
Otherwise no, and just sit back and wait for the screaming to start.

And there WILL be screaming. Be patient.

The MSM will fail to mention that. Just like in… 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024. Anyone else see a pattern here?

They don’t believe he committed any crimes. He’s been wrongly accused and convicted by the democrats. It’s all been a witch hunt. Whatever he said he’s going to do that’s bad only affects the democrats and the immigrants. They’re special and are excluded. These people actually believe this and are completely brainwashed.

It's willful ignorance. An astonishingly small percentage of Americans actually watch the news on a daily basis. Some 70% of us get our news from social media. Trump voters believe what they believe because they have no reason not to believe it; they're uninformed. Being uninformed is a choice and it's a choice a majority of Americans make.

It will be our undoing.
