Why do Trump and Musk hate US workers? Trump is destroying many, many small businesses with his tariff idiocy. Musk is destroying agencies designed to help protect US workers, not to mention getting rid of government funding that funnels out to help many US workers across all states and many industries.
Why does the Trump Administration hate US citizens and US workers?

This isn’t France. So in other words you are waiting and will protest when everyone else does it? If everyone thought that way, nobody would be protesting.
This is PP. That is very fair criticism. I guess I’m just angry that my fellow citizens voted for this (with eyes wide open - despite knowing a lot of this pre-election). If this is what our country wants, then it makes me feel very demoralized. If enough Trump voters started regretting their vote, it might make me feel like we have a critical mass to save our democracy. If not, it’s just a minority of voters arm waving. Can we make a difference? I don’t know what to do…
No one regrets their vote. People are very proud of what Trump is doing. I know it is very hard to comprehend for you.

1) Voter turnout was not a problem for Biden and Harris. In 2020, the number of votes cast exceeded 95% of the number of registered voters. Crazy but true. Turnout is not a problem. (Although voter registration might be.)
2) Almost every Demographic shifted away from Democrats and toward Republicans in 2024.
3) The recent protests were, on average, older and whiter than most protests
4) Most Americans oppose illegal immigration, support deportations, and prefer Republican policies on immigration.
5) Most Americans support bans on biological males in girls’ locker rooms, and prefer Republican policies on this issue
6) According to Democratic pollster David Shor, in 2024, most voters trusted Republicans more than Democrats on most of the issues voters considered important. Notably, the extended Covid response under Biden completely erased Democrats’ previous trust advantage on education and health care.
None of these points are wrong or debatable. These are the givens. The question is, what should we do given the situation we’re in? Do we want to keep standing on certain unpopular principles even if it hurts us in elections? Do we want to adopt new policies more popular with voters? Should we focus on short term anti-Trumpism or long term election planning? Do we have any good candidates for 2028? Etc
