I’m a lifelong Democrat who voted for Trump in 2024. And yes, I have insane buyer’s remorse. He promised to bring down inflation, end senseless wars and challenge the political establishment. Instead, Americans are still struggling with rising prices and yet another war in the Middle East. Meanwhile, his family has made billions through outright crypto scams while foreign interests pour hundreds of millions into their businesses. The allegations of foreign payoffs and political favors are staggering. To me, this looks like outright corruption and everything I thought I was voting against. My vote in 2024 was largely a protest against the Democratic Party then. I was tired of woke politics and identity politics dominating the conversation while everyday Americans struggled to get by. In many ways, Trump’s victory was the wake up call Democrats needed. I’m glad the party finally woke up and candidates this cycle took note of millions of voters like me who wanted fundamental systemic change. But the work is far from done. We want inflation down. Money out of politics. Politicians to stop enriching themselves through insider information and foreign influence. An end to forever wars. All while rebuilding the world’s strongest economy. This isn’t just about the 2028 election. It’s about getting America and the world back on the right course for generations to come. Ultimately, Americans want to afford a home, raise a family, build wealth and live in a country where the government works for them. Those aren’t Republican or Democratic values. They’re American values. And it’s about time both parties remembered that 🇺🇸
