Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, March 19, 2025

The lively crowd of constituents at a Nebraska town hall in Columbus made their feelings on Elon Musk very clear to Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) after the congressman voiced his support for the billionaire.
The event on Tuesday, held against the advice of House GOP leadership, saw Flood booed ferociously after voicing his support for Musk, who oversees the cuts being implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
"I support Elon Musk and DOGE," Flood said, responding to a question about the billionaire's influence and potential conflicts of interest. The statement was met with a roar of jeers and thumbs-down gestures from attendees.
Tensions were already running high when a voter called out Flood for attacking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's "disrespectful" posture toward Trump during their recent showdown in the Oval Office.

"No one cares."

Yes, that's what the dirt farmers are mad about.
Nobody cares about them.
Not even the guy they thought cared about them.

People do care. Rachel Maddow played excerpts from the focus group of Trump voters in Michigan last night on her show. Eye-opening:

Most Michigan swing voters in our latest Engagious/Sago focus groups said that although they voted for President Trump in November, they have objections, frustrations and fears about his behavior since he returned to power.

"Erratic," "frightening," "disruptive" and "dictator" were among the words they used to describe their concerns.

I can't find a link to the excerpts Maddow showed, but here are links to longer versions of the focus group:

"Erratic," "frightening," "disruptive" and "dictator"

Go back six months.
Poll what they liked about Trump.
Those are all the things they loved about him.

Erratic was The Weave.
Frightening was how he terrifies the libs who call him a Wanna-Be Dictator.
Disruptive is why he needs Elon Doge to get rid of the Waste Fraud and Abuse that has plagued our government for decades.
Dictator if all else fails, is what this country needs to get out of this mess.

The word for these people is fickle.

As such, they won't be learning any long-term lessons from this. They aren't capable.

Another word most of them used to describe Trump's first two months was "chaos." Frightening, chaos, dictaror--those are words you hear from Democrats, not words I'd expect to hear from Trump voters.

Here is what Maddow excerpted from the Trump voters at the start of her show. It's not long and worth a watch:

One thing a lot of them said is that they expected him to lower prices as he promised during the campagin. They don't see him delivering on that, but they do see him delivering on a lot of stuff he never campaigned on, fighting with Canada, e.g. A number of them are unhappy with Trump's tariffs and what they see as his dictatorial behavior. They aren't happy with Congress for not acting as the checks and balances with his more erratic and disruptive behavior.
