George and Esmeralda said they both voted for the first time in 2020, and then again in 2024 – both times for President Donald Trump. They said, as they’ve watched his mass deportation effort unfold in immigration court and at workplaces, seeing the majority of people detained without a violent criminal record, they both have come to regret their votes.
“I feel shame, guilt and anger at the same time because of the promises that he made that he lied to us about, going after the worst of the worst,” George said. “He lied on those and he stole our vote.”
I’ve known people who believed that he was only going after the gang members, rapists and murderers. They’re the ones that watch fox, so they are in a bubble. This incident forced them out of their bubble.
Tbf, we’re in a bubble too because most of us don’t watch fox. We don’t know what they’re hearing so we can’t counter act it.
