The statement ignores the fact that many voters may have supported Trump for reasons unrelated to specific policies. Some might have been driven by his personality, his perceived anti-establishment stance, or even fear-mongering tactics. Holding these voters accountable for every policy decision made by Trump during his presidency seems unreasonable. Such an approach risks undermining meaningful political discourse and fails to account for the varying degrees of enthusiasm within a voting bloc.… Continue reading
