It’s been a week since President Donald Trump was inaugurated, but he’s already begun implementing his mass deportation plan, removed HIV resources from federal websites, ended efforts to lower prescription drug costs, signed an executive order stating that the federal agencies will “recognize only two sexes, male and female,” AND he hasn’t lowered the price of eggs.
Now, his die-hard MAGA supporters are starting to regret their devotion to a politician who they’re realizing doesn’t have their best interests at heart. As the internet would say, this is what happens when you eff around and find out!
Between Black MAGA supporters realizing their party is actually racist, gay Trump voters being disappointed when the queer community wants nothing to do with them, and people waking up to the fact that their lives are going to be materially worse under a Trump presidency, they are only now becoming aware of the giant mistake they made.
Trump supporters are not only starting to voice their disappointment on social media but are realizing there are real consequences to their votes. One woman lost her job after posting a TikTok video doing a Nazi salute, a man boasted that he bought a new sports car with his Trump-loving daughter’s inheritance, a Trump voter’s undocumented husband got deported, and a teacher who invited ICE to raid his school is being investigated by the school district.
Keep scrolling to experience the schadenfreude of watching MAGA realize the chickens have come home to roost!
A TikToker who voted for Trump was devastated to learn that he's going through with his promise to have Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) start rounding up and mass deporting immigrants because now people she knows are afraid to go to work. "I hate that I voted for him," she laments.
Laura Smith, a Pennsylvania MAGA supporter, had to resign from her positions on the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors and the Montgomery County Public Library after coming under fire for posting a TikTok video doing a Nazi salute after Elon Musk made the same gesture at the inauguration.
A man posted that he spent the money he'd saved for his daughter's inheritance after finding out she voted for Trump. "This the new Corvette I bought with my daughters inheritance when she voted for Trump," he wrote.
Indiana resident Helen Beristain voted for Trump and was convinced that he would split up families with his mass deportation plan was shocked when her husband was deported and sent back to Mexico.
"This article states that Jason Buchanan of Ft. Worth, TX got FAFO’d." A substitute teacher in Texas is now under investigation after taking to X (formerly Twitter) to urge ICE to raid his school because many of his students "don't even speak English."
Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, a vocal Trump ally who represents a majority Hispanic Florida district, sent a letter to Homeland Security requesting they exempt people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela from Trump's mass deportation plans and ICE raids because they were allowed to enter the U.S. by President Joe Biden’s administration under a humanitarian parole program.
"I no longer trust Donald Trump, nor anyone surrounding him. He’s a one-termer, and he’s going to do what he wants, not what MAGA 'demands.' MAGA is dead, you just don’t know it yet. Stop genuflecting," a Trump voter wrote on X after the election.
"Donald Trump is now reposting Elon Musk’s pro-immigration sentiments. So, we’re talking about more immigrants before mass deportations even start? This is NOT what we voted for," a Trump supporter wrote on X after becoming angry that Trump was supporting H1-B visas after Musk expressed his love of them.
After feeling like her X account was being unfairly targeted after she was critical of Musk, far-right Trump supporter Laura Loomer was angry that "some of the biggest accounts who helped get Trump elected have now been demonetized and unverified."
