For Trump Voters Who Say 'We Didn't Vote For This' When MAGA Is Not Enough To all the Joe Rogan, Marjorie Taylor Greene and MAGA supporters who claim "this is not what I voted for," stop lying.

Disgruntled by rising gas prices, war and the administration's overall ineptitude, the people who empowered Trump's authoritarianism now want to distance themselves from it.

But this is EXACTLY what they voted for
