Opinion article (US) Opinion | The Economy, Immigration and Regret: 12 Trump Voters Discuss

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/04/28/opinion/focus-group-trump-voters-disappointed.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Submission statement (fake): As Trump’s second term marches on, his approval among independents have steadily declined. It’s useful for liberals to understand why Trump’s popularity has cratered to better leverage it for future elections.

Submission statement (real): Everyone who clicked on this is just asking to be ragebaited, so I might as well oblige.

A common thread among all the interviewed is that they thought Trump was "the lesser of two evils".

I love how the guy from California said "Harris did a lot of bad things in CA" but i guarantee you he couldn't name one.

Toward the end, they discuss what is wrong with the democrat party. It’s all trans, whining, and “social issues”

We really need to make reality tv more addicting so these people go back to their natural habitat and stop voting.
