DAVID MARCUS: In deep blue Philly, the libs think we regret voting for Trump

Philadelphia – I met Greg, which is about my age City of CenterAnd while our conversation was calm and friendly, as a progressive democrat, he is very literally scared and even angry about President Donald Trump in ways that are wild at the top.

“If I had to pull the pistol on the Republican, I would have to do that,” Greg told me. “This is the biggest intersection in our country since the Civil War.”

It was not particularly threatening. Although he knew that I was a Republican who voted for Trump, I decided not to think of me.

But surely, as a hell he meant something.

Later that day, in a falling Western Philly of large houses that is so far from the left, it seems to be the center of the center TexasI talked to three students. I was wondering if they had experienced tense relationships with friends or family because of politics.

“Yes,” a young woman told me, “but not often, I think I’m a good judge of character.” The clear message was that everyone who voted for Trump is not someone with his friends wanting anything to do with it.

Our conversation was interrupted after they told me that Trump’s dei cuts for them were a big problem for them, what did I ask, what do you think under Dei? They moved to the second table. Once again, it was not uncomfortable, but it was pointed out.

Down in the block, in a charming local bookstore, John, the owner, was kind to find me Mary Beard’s book I didn’t read and talk about little politics.

“There is a lot of change at once,” he told me viciously, echoing something I hear from many voters.

One thing that almost all the democrats I spoke with in the city of brotherly love seems to be in the hinterland of the great parts of Trump’s voters who certainly complain that they voted for Trump.

We saw that attitude on “In real time with Bill Maher“During the weekend, when the guest of Batya Ungar-Sargon shocked him, saying not only not only regrets his voice for Trump, but also that she was proud of it.

I faced a similar disbelief from Greg: this assumption, based on the thin to no specificities, that Trump’s actions were so drastic this time that we must understand what we made a deep mistake by voting for him, even if we couldn’t say it to save our face.

Or they believe it.

A large part of this comes down to bubbles, and no, they are not just the progresses who live in them. In my little Western Virginia, it is quite normal to see Maga hats in Walmart, and it seems that few people think Trump’s Presidency is crisis. So, what exactly, people in Philly and other blue enclaves react so dramatically?

One thing I felt from all I spoke to was that this iteration of Trump’s Presidency seems completely unlimited. This time there are no Republicans like John McCain who would show Trump’s thumbs down, no cabinet members who require restraint. This is Trump freed.

The results were not even about the results, because in two months the results of Trump’s policies are not yet. These are the actions themselves.

Federal workers shooting, tariffs to our allies, a friendly approach to Putin, deportations of illegal immigrants, even something that is secular as the renaming of a certain water body of the “American Bay”, feel like personal attacks of many democrats. And I can’t do anything to stop it.

At least in the short term, there seems to be nothing that can extinguish all your hair on fire on a progressive left.

But in the midst of an overwhelming and uneducated reaction to Trump among Philly’s Democrats, I met a Republican, a tourist, who offered little warning for Trump’s administration.

“I am proud to be a Republican and that I voted for Trump,” he told me because of the late -night cigarettes outside our hotel, “but these tariffs nervous.” I pressed him why, and he said, “I’m a seller. If everything we sell from Mexico shoots in price, we don’t know what to do.”

“Well,” I asked, “how much do you think that this production should move to the US?”

“Two, three years,” he said. “But I’m not involved in two or three years, I have been involved in two or three months.”

One thing everyone agrees is that Trump is moving quickly. For some, it causes horror. It is exciting for others. But Democrats are very wrong if they think that Trump voters express regrets, even those who are a little nervous.

Donald Trump, after all, does exactly what he promised.
