Thirty-three percent of Trump voters said, in their own words, they voted for him because of the “economy” or because “he is a good businessman,” a Washington Post-Schar School poll released Friday reveals.

This is from December. It's also a good sign because these are the people that are likely to turn on him as the prices increase and unemployment jumps.

    Even in that quote alone there's 1 out of 3 who regret their vote. If we extrapolate to the group who voted economically, that's 10% of his voters. That's way more than enough to change the election outcome next time around. Yes there many who are brutally brainwashed, perhaps most, but we don't care about most. We care about 5-10% to change their minds. While I don't pretend my little extrapolation here is scientific in any way, I think that's achievable. 🥹
