Chapter 1: Why are Trump voters turning against him?
Yeah, we're past the F around and find out stage. We're kind of at the take to the streets and peacefully protest stage. Take matters into our own hands stage peacefully. Of course, you have all these people in red districts and red states up to Ruby red who are saying, what the hell is Donald Trump and Elon Musk doing? You betrayed us.
You promised us lower prices and you promised us making housing more affordable and peace in Ukraine in 24 hours. And you're doing the exact opposite. And Now they're losing their jobs. They're losing their Medicaid. They're losing their health care. They're losing their benefits. They're losing critical federal aid. They're losing the support that their special needs kids were receiving.
They're losing it all. Trump is cruelly taking it from them. And they're saying, Donald, why did you betray us? Are you seeing these stories? I did a lot of videos on those town halls. A lot of those town halls were talking about, Oklahoma's fifth Oregon's Oklahoma's first Oregon's fifth congressional district. We're talking about the Ruby red areas in Wisconsin.
We're talking about Georgia's seventh congressional district. I mean, we're talking about red areas where Republicans are showing up at these town halls and saying, well, What in the world are you doing to their members of Congress? You are just enabling Elon Musk to snatch up our private information and our private data and gut our country.
Y'all are forming alliances with Putin and you're throwing Ukraine under the bus and you're pulling America out of NATO. You're taking away our Medicaid. You're coming after our Social Security. What the hell are you doing here? Take a look at stories like this. This right here. This is Rodney in Nashville. Didn't expect his job to be trash that was taken out.
And this is what he said on November 4th. It's time to take out the trash together and vote Trump. Trump 2024. And then recently, Rodney posted, thanks to Elon Musk, I am now out of work. I've had a tough time finding a job these past few years. I worked for a company for almost six years and was let go. They decided to reorganize their company after another company bought them.
So I was unemployed between January 2023 and June 2023. And I was hired by another company. Eventually, he says he was hired by the IRS in October 2024. He started working with them. But Elon Musk and his, quote, Doge gang decided to enact the reduction in force for the federal government, and he was laid off. How about this one right here?
Voter doesn't believe in Project 2025, votes for Trump to get rid of the deep state, but he was employed by the feds for 29 years and now says bye-bye to his job, President Biden. Former President Biden posted the following back on December 12th, 2024. I pray to God that the president-elect throws away Project 2025. I think it would be an economic disaster.
I believe the only way for a president to lead is to lead all of America, to which this guy responds, stop lying. And then Elon Musk gave one of his directives over this past weekend, although Trump and Musk claim that Elon Musk is actually not running Doge because Musk doesn't want to testify before Congress.

Chapter 2: How are Trump's policies affecting jobs and healthcare?
And this is what they said, to turn America basically into rubble. so that they can then rebuild it in their image. They need to destroy us all to then rebuild it. They said they want to inflict hardship. That is not a bug. That is the goal of what they are doing. Oh, and by the way,
With a lot of those, with not a lot of those, with basically all of the federal employees who are being fired, they're being fired for cause, not being like just like laid off and then getting benefits or being able to get unemployment. They're being fired for cause. So they can't even qualify in many cases for unemployment based on the status for which they're being fired.
It is heinous, cruel and disgusting stuff.
from billionaires screwing over hardworking americans and that's why right now americans are taking matters into their own hands which we see happening at the town halls at the protests and i always say make sure you do this peacefully i always say that make sure you do it peacefully but people are peacefully showing up and protesting and these are growing i expect there to be a democracy spring an awakening i'm seeing
happening right now. Here's an unhappy MAGA spotted in a news article comment section. Lori goes, I voted for Trump from Howell, Michigan. I voted for Trump and I don't like what's happening. My aunt also voted for Trump, but lost her government job. I'm on social security. Now I'm nervous about that being taken away. You should be nervous. He's going to take it away. I wanted a better America.
My groceries are still high and people are losing their jobs. I didn't sign up for this. I did not vote for Musk. I feel my freedom is being taken away. I am not happy. Just take a look at this. Eggs are up 23%. Gas is up 17.4%. Price of sugar up 16.7%. Wheat up 8.4%. Lumber up 4.6%. Oh, that's going to soar when some of those tariffs kick in. The price of corn is up 3.4%. Gas is up.
Electricity is up. Soybeans is up. Cheese is up. Is this what you voted for? The stock market's down. If we're talking about things that are down, stock market crashed on Friday. So that was not a good look. Stock market is very volatile and doing poorly right now under this Trump regime. Take a look at this one from Great Lakes Now.
Dozens of workers focused on Lamprey control were among scores of Michigan federal workers fired without notice in the past week, including a Trump supporter. Let's find this guy in this article who I saw. This guy talks about how he voted for Trump and then now his life has been screwed. So
It goes on to talk about how just months ago, Great Lakes fish advocates were celebrating a victory in a decades-long campaign to save lake trout populations from extinction at the hands of invasive sea lamprey. I know this stuff is very boring to Elon Musk and Donald Trump. This stuff bores them. They think that these aren't real jobs that actually focus on our Great Lakes and
