Summary

Low-income voters who supported Donald Trump are expressing concerns over potential cuts to government benefits as his administration pushes for aggressive spending reductions.

Trump’s newly announced “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is tasked with cutting programs, raising fears about impacts on social safety nets.

Trump also plans to shut down the Education Department, impose tariffs on imports from China, Mexico, and Canada, and has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health Secretary, signaling a focus on controversial health policies.

Voter anxieties about these shifts are growing.

    There is has been a long campaign to make Americans dumber. Easier to control and more perceptive to propaganda.

    Look at the state of the education system. This happened not by chance but by design.

      I agree but that doesnt really change anything. You still need to make people aware to fix that design and i just dont think enough ever care until it affects them. You cant force people to be interested in the world around them either. A lot of people are basically “zombie-slaves”. And they have no idea. And its… Just so depressing. Either way a conversation on this isnt going to result in answers i think. Which might be a little more depressing. But i try to avoid all social media to avoid depression because people are terrible and i do not like most if not all of them.
