Never-Trump Conservative website The Bulwark periodically “takes the pulse” of swing voters who voted for President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, and their most recent survey revealed what “a difference a year makes,” according to publisher Sarah Longell.
“The swing voters we're going to hear today are about as sour on Trump as they have been since he re-took office,” said Longwell, on Bulwark’s “Secret Podcast” Saturday.
Podcast guest speaker and Atlantic contributor Jonathan Chait shared his own frustration at the swing voters’ shift in opinions, saying “every time I hear swing voters, I want to kill myself and kill them” for their choices.
This included one North Carolina woman who admitted: “I heard a lot of why I shouldn't vote for [Trump]. And that thought process was definitely in my head at the time. But since doing so, it's almost like every single thing that they told me is happening.”
“See, that's all I'm ever listening for,” erupted Longwell at the woman’s admission that “never Trumpers were right”. “I blacked out after that!”
Another Trump voter admitted that, on the economy, things were “not going well.”
“I was looking yesterday and, you know, Americans have lost over $1 trillion in their wealth in the last year, while the top 1 percent has gained over $10 trillion. And it's like, that's not exactly what was supposed to be happening,” said the unnamed man. “There's this bifurcation where the stock market seems to be doing well, but people aren't. And so, I think that's given a false sense of security that if you're doing well, you think everything's great, but you don't realize it's not going well for the vast majority of people.
