Trump Voters Reckon with Fallout in Their Personal and Professional Lives After Election
In a revealing report by Brett Meiselas of the MeidasTouch Network, several Trump voters are now confronting unforeseen consequences of their support for Donald Trump. As Meiselas notes, “panic, fear, and regret” are spreading within the MAGA community as Trump’s policies and rhetoric begin to ripple through their personal and work lives.
One of the most visible impacts of these choices is the strain on family relationships. A woman who voted for Trump, for example, shared that her decision has severed ties with her mother, grandmother, and sister, who are no longer willing to speak to her. This story echoes others shared online, like a man who found himself served with divorce papers shortly after the election due to his political choices. He posted online, expressing disbelief at how quickly his relationship unraveled, lamenting that his wife refused even to discuss the matter.
Another voter revealed that he was unprepared for the potential impact on his finances. In one case, a business owner described how his company would be affected by new tariffs on imported goods, leading to cutbacks and even the cancellation of holiday bonuses. This reality was mirrored by another Trump-supporting small business owner in construction who noted that his vendors were preparing for potential price hikes and layoffs.
The report highlights the clash between these voters’ choices and real-world consequences. For example, one Trump supporter expressed dismay upon discovering that his vote threatened his access to healthcare. As an unemployed person, he had supported Trump to “kill Obamacare,” only to realize after voting that the Affordable Care Act, which he relies on, is one and the same.

He sounds like the old lady who cried "Get your government hands off my Medicare!"

I remember not long after the passage of the ACA, one of the networks (it might have been MSNBC) did a man-on-the-street interview segment about the ACA. On at least one occasion, the interviewer asked a rather leading question by using the term "Obamacare". When they got a negative reaction to the leading question, the interviewer then stated (correctly) that "Obamacare" and the ACA were the same thing. The result was pretty funny, as the people being interviewed had to suddenly confront their racism ( e.g. the name "Obama" ) as well as their brainwashing by Fox News.
WE ALL tried to warn them.
WE ALL told them the truth about that orange bastard. THEY CHOSE not to pay any attention or do any critical thinking or objective fact-finding.
THEY CHOSE.
No pity. Hope they don’t mind the consequences.
...what I am to do over the next four years, speaking both politically and otherwise. We'll be shut out for at least the next two years, and who's to say there will be a world remaining after even half of another Trump term? The first Trump regime (and Covid) really changed my views about who some of my neighbors are, and now they voted for another four years of the same thing.
DU is a terrific place to find friends, comfort, solace, safety, emotional support, reinforcement, encouragement, and kinship.
It’s pretty much my only hangout on the ‘net.

I remember reading articles about what happened in KY when then-Gov. Steven Beshear implemented the ACA in the state under the moniker - "KYnect" and MAGats were going on and on, literally apeshit about not wanting anything to do with "Obamacare", yet praising the state's implementation of it, literally unable to process the fact that "Obamacare" was what they were signed up for. 
on the opposing bowling league say she wasn't worried about losing her Healthcare because she had "the ACA plan, not Obamacare".
I can't wait until I get to say "I told you so" to these ignorant trumpers.
maybe this will get their attention.
