The "Find Out" Stage of the Election (Voter Remorse)

How many of you are hearing people say, "I didn't know Trump was going to do _________ (fill in the blank)?

How many of you are not surprised by people saying they didn't BELIEVE Trump would do what he SAID he would do?

There is an anagram going around FAFO. I was today years old when I learned what it meant. (My apologies) but it means F*** around and find out and a lot of that is going on with 

Welcome to the FIND OUT PHASE of the election, we entered it on day one. Trump meant what he said out loud and you probably can't even imagine the things he means that he DIDN'T say out loud. You're about to find out it includes YOU even though you VOTED for him.

VOTER REGRET is being voiced and there is little sympathy being had for those who voted to elect Donald Trump. MAGA farmers and teachers are regretting casting their ballot for Trump as he strips federal funding and shuts down aid programs. 

While Trump and Musk claim they ordered a 90-day freeze on USAID’s foreign aid spending to rein in wasteful spending, in actuality they’re hurting American farmers and other business owners who sell goods and services to USAID. American Farmers supply around 41% of the food aid that USAID and the U.S. Department of Agriculture send around the world, which amounted to $2.1 billion in food aid from American farms in 2020, the Washington Post reports. Other farmers who voted for Trump are angry about the president’s tariff plans that could lead to retaliation from China that could impact soybean and corn farmers’ ability to sell their crops — something that happened during the first Trump administration. Voter remorse.

In the weeks since President Donald Trump has assumed office, more than 200,000 federal workers at more than a dozen agencies have had their roles eliminated. There are attempts from Republican officials in states like Alaska, Virginia, Iowa and Florida to either acquire exemptions for certain government workers in their states or build aid packages for those already laid off. They got caught up in what they believe would only happen to others. 

Everyday people are going on record with their regrets. “Emily Anderson from Duluth, Minnesota, categorizes her vote for Trump this year as the ‘biggest mistake of my life, as she was appalled by his implementation of Guantanamo Bay as a holding facility in his immigration crackdown.

“When we said safer borders, I thought he was thinking ‘let’s stop the drugs from coming into the country,’” Trump voter Staci White said. “I didn’t know he was going to start raiding places. Now I’m like: ‘Dang, why didn’t I just pick Kamala?’”

Our allies are in being swept up in the FIND OUT stage of Trump's presidency. The tipping point came when Trump decided to upend years of U.S. policy by holding talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in hopes of ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Then, Trump special envoy for Ukraine and Russia on Saturday all but ruled out the inclusion of other Europeans in any Ukraine peace talks. This caused leaders of Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark and the European Union to meet at the Elysee Palace for talks on Europe’s security quandary. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte was also there.

LGBTQ voters were among the only demographic groups that did not move more toward Trump in the 2024 election. President Trump signed a far-reaching executive order requiring federal agencies to discriminate against transgender people by denying who they are.

Trump was able to make slight inroads with Black voters nationally, who made up about 1 in 10 voters across the country. Trump about doubled his share of young Black men – which helped him among key Democratic voting group. About 3 in 10 Black men under the age of 45 went for Trump, roughly double the number he got in 2020. Donald Trump won more Black voters than any Republican candidate was able to do in nearly fifty years, an analyst said Friday. Trump, once elected, launched an unprecedented attack on Black federal employees. On Wednesday (Jan. 22), workers received emails that threatened consequences if they did not report on co-workers who work in diversity, equity and inclusion positions that may have gone undetected by the federal government. 

Hispanic voters were more open to Trump than they were in 2020. Roughly half of Latino men voted for Harris, down from about 6 in 10 who went for Biden. Donald Trump won the vote of Hispanic men by one point (49 percent Harris – 50 percent Trump), a 35-point difference from 2020, when Joe Biden won the vote of Hispanic men by a 34-point margin. The starkest increase may have been the 14-percentage-point swing in Trump's share of Hispanic voters, according to an exit poll conducted by Edison Research. Some 46% of self-identified Hispanic voters picked Trump, up from 32% in the 2020 election when Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden. Mr. Trump instructed his administration to dramatically expand detention space inside the naval base to detain as many as 30,000 "high priority" unauthorized immigrants with criminal records. Since then, officials from across the government, including the Departments of Defense, State and Homeland Security, have scrambled to implement the president's directive. His ICE raids go beyond the criminal element. The Hispanic community is in hiding.

Poor people voted for Trump. According to exit polling in ten key states of the 2024 presidential election in the United States, 46 percent of voters with a 2023 household income of 30,000 U.S. dollars or less reported voting for Donald Trump. In comparison, 51 percent of voters with a total family income of 100,000 to 199,999 U.S. dollars reported voting for Kamala Harris. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump endorsed a House Republican budget plan that would impose hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid, a healthcare program jointly funded by federal and state money, which helps provide coverage for Americans with lower incomes, including pregnant women, children and people with disabilities, among others. The rich don't have poor people problems.

“We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated,” Trump has been quoted as saying. In an analysis of voters by education in states where exit or entrance polling is available, nearly half of those with high school diplomas or less schooling said they supported the billionaire. 56% of voters without degrees voted for President-elect Trump. Who cares about education anyway?

Dozens of "probationary employees" were let go from the Department of Education last Wednesday, according to two sources familiar with the firings. Dismantling the Department of Education was one of Trump's key campaign promises. He has slammed the department as a "con job" that should be "closed immediately," and has directed Musk to investigate the agency. The Department of Education is the smallest cabinet-level agency with 4,400 employees. Another 1,400 employees work in the agency's office of Federal Student Aid.

About six-in-ten registered voters who say they have served in the U.S. military or military reserves (61%) support former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, while 37% back Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a Pew Research Center survey. 63% of veteran voters identify with or lean toward the Republican Party, while 35% are Democrats or Democratic leaning. Loyalty matters to vets? More than 1,000 Department of Veterans Affairs employees have been dismissed from their roles, the agency said Thursday.

According to Social Security data, approximately 45% of beneficiaries aged 60 and older are identified as White Americans, meaning a significant portion of Social Security recipients are white individual. The new head of the Social Security Administration said Wednesday that deceased centenarians are “not necessarily receiving benefits,” contradicting claims that tens of millions of dead people over the age of 100 are getting payments from the agency made by Elon Musk. Who wants to live to a ripe old age anyway?

About 37% of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Food Stamps participants are white, according to a USDA report. Other SNAP participant demographics: 26% African American, 16% Hispanic, 3% Asian, 2% Native American, and 16% "race unknown. Using research from the Urban Institute (gathering data from 59 million people), the graph below presents the largest percentage of welfare recipients in 2019. The majority of recipients were white (43 percent), followed by Hispanic (26 percent), and Black (23 percent). During the 119th Congress, the Subcommittee will work with the Trump Administration to cut back on unnecessary government spending and empower American workers and families through reforms to the deficient welfare state.

Is there more? Can there be more? You bet.

White women have been the biggest beneficiaries of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, though DEI programs benefit many groups of people. Trump issued an executive order terminating "illegal DEI and 'diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility' (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities in the Federal Government, under whatever name they appear." You mean I can't check female anymore on a job application Mr. President?

Although women as a whole have historically voted for Democrats, white women have not. Instead, over the last 72 years, a plurality of white women has voted for the Democratic candidate only twice, in 1964 and 1996. On Tuesday, they once again went for Trump – just as they did in 2016 and 2020. Women are mothers who care for and nurture families. You wouldn't mess with families in any way would you Mr. President? The Department of Health and Human Services has also lost thousands of employees, including at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to the Associated Press. About 700 workers were fired from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), multiple sources told ABC News. At least 16 of the CDC cuts were to members of the World Trade Center Health Program, which critics said could put the health of 9/11 first responders at risk.

The Trump campaign leaned into targeting young men, as the former president publicly palled around with male YouTubers and podcasters, such as Joe Rogan, who make little space for women. This effort paid off. Exit polling indicated that there was a canyon-wide 16-point gender gap between young men and women, which is an increase from 2020. While women between the ages of 18 and 29 preferred Harris 58% to 40%, their male peers chose Trump 56% to 42%. However, compared to his last run, Trump did better with both young men (41% of them voted for him four years ago) and young women (33% in 2020). During Trump's campaign he told women he would protect them. He sided with anti-women men's groups to win votes people!

There is a lot to regret for the Trump supporter (even though he still has a large group of supporters, for now). Those who DID NOT VOTE for Trump are not taken by surprise. They believed the words that came out of his mouth and his actions they witnessed. They sounded the alarm and said, "DON'T VOTE FOR TRUMP!" They are not feeling voter's remorse but something akin to anger at those who were willingly ignorant of his plans for his presidency. Many are saying, "You get what you voted for," and keep it moving. Some are even delighting in the possibility of Trump supporters suffering for their choice. I'm just wondering how long will the FIND OUT STAGE last and how much more can it encompass. Never one to disappoint, Trump has told us once again who he is.

Donald Trump is receiving widespread backlash after he likened himself to a “king” on social media (Feb. 19, 2025) following his administration’s decision to rescind New York City’s congestion pricing program. “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!” This is the photo Trump uploaded with his tweet. FAFO!!!!

Has The Left Gone Too Far Left To U-Turn?

November 5, 2024, left many Americas shocked to witness the United States turn red with a landslide victory for Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States. I was among the shocked. Immediately people began to speculate how such a qualified Democratic candidate for president could have lost to a convicted felon. No matter the answer, it was not enough to soothe those who desperately wanted to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.

Now that I have recovered from the defeat, I am able to add my two cents to the question, "How could Trump have won?" I have two suggestions. One, America was not ready for a woman president and two, the Left has gone too far in their willingness to APPEASE everyone. When you try to satisfy everyone, you end up satisfying no one. 

Today I heard a preacher on TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) say, "President Trump may be flawed, but he has publicly declared there are only two sexes: male and female. He is willing to state the truth and biblical fact." You know what? The preacher was right on both accounts.

It is a fact of SCIENCE. There is only MALE and FEMALE. A person is either born with an XX or XY chromosome identifying them as male or female. The Bible, which is the guidebook for Christians says as much. The Bible verse that says God created humans, male and female is in Genesis 1:27, which reads, "So God created man in his own image. in the image of God, he created him, male and female created he them." Even in the plant and animal kingdom there is male and female. The two sexes were created for REPRODUCTION. Each contributing to the outcome of an offspring. 

This seems to be a simple concept, fact. But it isn't. There are many people who say they do not FEEL like the gender they were biologically assigned and should not have to live within the constraints of their XX or XY chromosomes. The Left recognizes these individual's feelings and supports their right in choosing whether they identify as male or female including their right to physically change their gender identity. Christians believe you cannot change what God has created.

Even in nature it seems gender assignment has exception. Animals with both male and female reproductive organs are called HERMAPHRODITES or BISEXUAL animals. Hermaphrodites can be simultaneous or sequential in their sex., such as earthworms, slugs, snails, Clown Fish, and Parrot Fish. 

Some animals can change their sex, including frogs and cardinals. For example, some European frogs have a race where most tadpoles develop into females, but about half eventually change into males.

Plants such as watermelon, hibiscus, papaya, and mustard are also hermaphrodites.

If you really want an exception to the rule of gender assignment and roles you have to look no further 

than the Seahorse. Yes, male seahorses get pregnant and give birth to their young. This is a unique adaptation in the animal kingdom. 

1. Male and female seahorses perform a courtship dance
2. The female deposits her eggs into the male's brood pouch
3. The male fertilizes the eggs
4. The male incubates the eggs in his pouch
5. After a gestation period, the male gives birth by rhythmically contracting his abdominal muscles

Even in nature, male and female is not a hard and fast rule.

To have a CIVALIZED society, the society has to agree on the rules and laws that govern them and right now society is not agreeing on changing the DEFINITION of male and female. When society cannot agree on the rules and laws of self-governess there is confusion and chaos. The Right is fearful of the rules being taught to children. How can children be told there is no rule or law in determining gender? Adhering to such causes confusion and chaos and I tend to agree. There should be a hard and fast rule in determining gender for reproductive and medical reasons. A man should not be able to declare himself a woman when DNA says differently.

That being said, no one can CHOOSE how a person is to live their lives. I cannot enforce a biological male live as a biological male no more than I can be told not live as a Christian. I do not get to make those choices for others. This is where the sympathy of the Left lies. The Left is not willing to negate individual rights, and this is where society says they draw the line. It has become a question of chaos versus rights. It becomes chaotic when people, no matter their reason, select which gender to identify as. 

Selecting gender assignment goes beyond just being addressed as male or female. The person choosing their gender assignment expect all of the rights that go along with the chosen gender. Access to such things as restrooms and sports are not to be withheld. Access to such things validates their selected gender. Even though I am saying selected gender, I realize it is a deeper issue for those who feel as though they were assigned the wrong gender at birth. I also admit if you are not the person going through this it is hard to understand and sympathize with but the Left tries. 

The Right says they have the Bible and science on their side regarding this issue and the Left only has the strong feelings of individuals. Which is correct? Sooner or later a definitive answer must prevail, or confusion and chaos will reign. As I said, to be a civilized society, rules and laws must be agreed upon. I'm afraid to say, the Left is going to lose on this issue BECAUSE the BIBLE and SCIENCE are strong on this subject even if nature itself shows there are exceptions to rules.

That being said, a whole group of people cannot be dismissed. What they are feeling and living cannot be invalidated. But they cannot expect scientific facts to be thrown out either. It is a curtesy and decency to address people in the way they want to be addressed. In a professional setting it can be against the law to address a person in an unprofessional way. It is simple to EXPLAIN to our children the diversity of people and lifestyles they will encounter in the world that will not be familiar or accepted. It is our duty as parents to explain the world to our children even when it makes us uncomfortable. Heck, I had to explain to my children what it means to be Black in our society. Not a comfortable conversation at all. It is beyond reason that with millions of people in the world they will ALL be LIKE us. The Bible teaches people are different in their beliefs. NO SURPRISE for the Christian. The Bible also gives the Christian instructions on how to live and interact in such a world.

The Christian is to live in and proclaim the truth of God and Jesus. Seed planters. Spreaders of the Good News, but ONLY a Christian has to adhere to the guidelines of the Bible. Trying to force the non-Christian to live biblically is WRONG. The Bible is for Christians. Guidelines, rules, laws the Christian has agreed to adhere to. There will be confusion and chaos if biblical principles are IMPOSED on non-Christians.

Trump is winning and will continue to win addressing the concerns of the Christian and it isn't on its face a bad thing. When individual rights are trampled it becomes a bad thing. It becomes un-Christian. The Left is going to have to make some serious decisions. It is a hard position to be in. Cruelty to others can be the outcome of making the wrong decision. American history has shown what happens when individual rights are taken away. It seems a simple task for society as a whole to agree on gender assignment. But here we are. You can't please everyone all of the time.

January 30, 2025, The Trump administration is ordering federal agencies to bar transgender workers from single-sex facilities that match their gender identity by Friday and fire any employees working on “gender ideology,” part of a sweeping new directive meant to comply with an executive order that the government recognize only two sexes. 

President Donald Trump signed an executive order prohibiting transgender women and girls from competing in female sports. The measure, called the “No Men in Women's Sports Executive Order,” is the fourth executive order targeting transgender people he has signed since he took office Jan. 20.

“The radical left has waged an all-out campaign to erase the very concept of biological sex and replace it with a militant transgender ideology,” Trump said from a podium at the White House, with dozens of women and girls standing behind him. “With this executive order, the war on women’s sports is over.”
