Hey Trump voter!

Is this really what you wanted?

When you voted for Donald Trump in 2024, did you want the price of groceries to go through the roof, or gas prices to cost 30% more since Trump took office?  Did you expect to see mortgage rates at 7.46%?

Did you want a senseless and unwinnable war in Iran?  How about that trade war with Canada?  Or the tariffs that have upended trade with other past customers?  Did you want to fight with Denmark over taking Greenland?

Did you want a $40 TRILLION national debt?  Or a $400 billion ballroom and a vanity arch in Washington? Did you want Trump profiting from stock trades and making a fortune in crypto?

Did you want the Epstein files covered up? Did you want America to abandon Ukraine in their war against Russia? How about us buying diesel from Russia and beef from Argentina?  Is that OK with you?

Did you want once-conquered diseases making a comeback?  Or food-borne illnesses running rampant?  Did you want multi-billion-dollar cuts in cancer research at the NIH?  I hope you’re not battling cancer.

Did you want to get stuck with high medical bills while insurance CEO’s make billions? Or Social Security and Medicare cut back, and food assistance to the poor to dry up? Did you want immigrant families to be terrorized?

Did you want a $1 billion budget deficit in Iowa?  Or $350 million of your state tax dollars going to private Christian schools? Did you want thousands of books banned?

Trump and the supine Republicans in Congress CAUSED all of these disasters!  If you still persist in voting for Republicans this year, it means your answer is YES to all of these crazy and inhumane decisions.  Who ARE you?  Do you even care about democracy?  I don’t see how you could call yourselves followers of Jesus. 

Sure, you’re worried about imaginary problems like “communism” and “Sharia law” and “trans girls in sports.”  Stop watching Fox News and join the rest of us in the real world!  We have massive problems, caused by Republicans and the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, and the only way to start solving our problems is to vote as many spineless Republicans out of power as we can! 

If you want to atone for your previous votes for Trump, either vote for Democrats, or at least just stay home and don’t vote.  We need CHANGE, and we need it NOW!
