Una persona che si definisce una "3-time Trump voter" ha scritto su X di essere contrariata dalle politiche del presidente Donald Trump, pur rifiutandosi anche di dire di aver votato male nelle elezioni del 2024.

"I say this as a 3-time Trump voter, a lifelong Republican who spent an embarrassing amount of money on merch and travel to Trump rallies and DC," Lucy Riles ha scritto su X. "I was duped. The past 14 months have been betrayal after betrayal. It sucks admitting I got it wrong. No, I’m not saying Kamala [Harris] would have been better. But Trump is a politician, a glorified snake oil salesman. He is not God nor should he be worshiped as one. And we need to hold our politicians accountable. Especially the ones we voted for and sacrificed friendships, jobs and family over."

Riles ha aggiunto, "Trump is now attempting to bully his base into supporting another reckless foreign war, ignore the Epstein files and now, accept data centers or else you want to be 'backwards and poor.' I’ve never been in an emotionally abusive relationship[,] and I’m not about to start now."

Ha concluso: "Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Il post è arrivato nel mezzo di una serie di recenti lamentele registrate di altri elettori Trump a MS NOW, suggerendo che la frustrazione in alcune parti della base del presidente non sia limitata a un solo post sui social media. All’inizio di agosto, un’altra voter Trump per tre volte ha detto che, nonostante il presidente avesse promesso di ridurre l’inflazione una volta in carica, "the prices haven't gone down. I don't know, I'm just, I'm over it, I think, over the Trump thing, the Trump wagon — whatever you want to call it."

Un altro elettore Trump ha detto: "It's hard. It makes me feel like I'm a horrible mother sometimes because I'm stressing about what I'm going to do — do I have enough money to put gas in, or do I need to buy eggs and milk for my child? Or do I need to not go to work every day to make that money because gas prices are so expensive?"

Quell’elettore ha continuato: "And mind you, it could be my fault — I do work in cleaning, but still, that's a 45-minute drive. We're putting 80 bucks in every three days, tops, maybe. It's just hard to feel good when everything's going downhill, I feel like. It's supposed to be going up, and sometimes, yes, it is up, and then all of a sudden it just goes down. And then we're always told, you know, ‘this is going to change’ or ‘I'm going to make this better’ or ‘we're going to make this better’ — but where's it at? We're not seeing it at all."

Sempre all’inizio di agosto, un elettore Trump dell’Iowa di nome Stephen Foot ha detto a MS NOW che "the prices haven't gone down. I don't know, I'm just, I'm over it, I think, over the Trump thing, the Trump wagon — whatever you want to call it."

Un altro ancora ha dichiarato all’inizio di agosto, riferendosi alla guerra in Iran: "Enough! Bring our guys and girls home. I don't want to see it — I don't like seeing war, that's all. We need to protect our borders and keep our family here safe."

Più di recente, e sempre lunedì, l’ex deputata ex-MAGA Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) ha accusato Trump di "disloyalty" verso la propria base.

"I hear this from people literally every single day," Greene ha scritto su X. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying this and demanding your elected leaders deliver exactly what they promised you when you voted, donated, and supported them. The disloyalty comes from Trump, not people like this."
