We're hearing a lot "I didn't vote for this" from Trump voters. Actually, this is exactly what they voted for, and given the chance, they would probably vote for him again. When you get wrapped up in culture war issues to the point where you vote against your own interests, nothing good can come out of it. Although issues like gay rights, black lives matter, and a woman's right to choose do not affect their lives in the least, they somehow feel put upon. Now these "conservatives" are faced with losing health insurance, food and rent assistance, rising unemployment, and increased prices due to Trump's ill-advised tariffs. They were warned about this time and time again during the campaign, but their prejudice against putting a qualified women in office created this mess. Next time, they should ask themselves, "just what have the Republicans done for me lately?"
