They voted for this. Trump said exactly what he was going to do. Repeatedly.
They are against his picks but I don't think for the reason you think...
Im not a smart man, but I run a large complicated facility for a job.
When I have a safety issue, I call our safety expert. When I need to know about loading and unloading in the dock, I speak to the dock supervisor. When I have an admin issue, I speak to the admin lady... I do not like some of the people I have to rely on, but they are very VERY good at their jobs.
Even most of his supporters know Trump is a figurehead but they are seeing him surround himself with cronies and political appointments instead of qualified and intelligent people, even if those people would just find the "least bad" way to implement his moronic ideas.
You should read the article. They LIKE that they're seeing him surround himself with cronies. They're upset that one of his picks isn't ENOUGH of a crony.
Wow...
Read the article, they are complaining that he's naming an half normal surgeon general instead of a complete quack.
Except that this article is talking about MAGA Truth Social users whining over the Surgeon General pick, who - shocker! - supports vaccines and masking.
This is a surprise from Trump.

... YES. HE IS.
THIS IS WHAT WE, AND HE, HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU THIS ENTIRE TIME YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS.
>it's all morons complaining about vaccinations
oh fuck off.
it's all morons complaining about vaccinations
What the actual fuck? This is both depressing and hilarious. I guess even Trump is too woke for them now.
That's been true for a while? He had to cater during his term too. He failed covid so bad but that was more an ego thing than being anti vaccine or masks. He's a really really small man.
He's a Russian puppet and they never ended the cold war. So yes.
Oh god. I should have known:
"Dear President Trump, many of us…MANY of us are very disheartened and upset about this pick -this doctor has been a major advocate for pushing Covid vaccines upon people which are being proven cause much harm," one Trump-supporting Truth Social user wrote in response to Trump's announcement. "She also was a big advocate of masking and other terrible Covid policies please don’t let this happen! Sincerely -your base."
"I voted for face-eating leopards, and dammit, I want my face eaten!"

Yeah, that headline is quite misleading. For a brief moment, I thought, "Well better late than never, again, I guess..." But like you said, I should have known better than to hope for these imbeciles to have come out of their indoctrinated stupor.
Yeah, but not for the reasons most people are thinking.
For anyone who hasn't read the article, and the articles this article is referencing, they're upset because his Surgeon General pick is in favor of Vaccines and mask mandates. That's it. They thought they'd get an anti-vaxxer in there.
So sadly, they are not turning on trump in the way people in this post are assuming.
Holy shit.
Good thing he had a Red Bull shirt for speed.

MAGA you are getting exactly what you voted for and deserve.
They aren't mad because the picks are bad. They're mad because Dr. Janette Nesheiwat was a proponent of COVID vaccines and masks.

Lmao, you mean to say that the NEW YORK REAL ESTATE MAGNATE KNOWN FOR STIFFING HIS CONTRACTORS AND EMBEZZLING FROM CANCER PATIENTS DIDN'T HAVE THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE WORKING CLASS IN THE FOREFRONT OF HIS OBVIOUSLY SELF CENTERED MIND??7?
WHAT A FUCKING REVELATION, WHAT AN UNBELIEVALBLE BETRAYAL, WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN!!1!!
You think trump voters are mad because the picks don’t care about the working class?
Do you guys not read this shit? They’re mad about an AG that’s not pro-gun enough and someone advocated for COVID vaccines.
A health care professional confirms that vaccines are real.
MAGA weirdo's lose their shit.
This is America.
If only there were some way to know this is what he'd do.
Narrator: Meanwhile, at every Trump rally:
They're upset that his surgeon general pick believes that vaccines are REAL.
one Trump-supporting Truth Social user wrote in response to Trump's announcement.
but numerous commenters spoke out
One user, identified as @thompmark78,
A user with "Patriot. America First" in their bio
@Dbn281977, another user who frequently shares Trump's content
Another user, who posts in favor of Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and is identified as @Omi17,
A self-proclaimed Trump voter identified as @lutherbh1 complained about another aspect of Trump's transition.
So we're talking about maybe 15 people tops? I used to read these kinds of stories and tell myself that we were reaching the "find out" stage or whatever, but this is absolutely not a story. If it referenced any kind of poll data or wider reaching metric than reading a handful of tweets, there might be reason to hope, but as it stands, this is a nothingburger story that just gives you 15 minutes of feeling like there's justice in the world.
It's pretty disturbing that a lot of reporting has turned into "we saw 10 replies on twitter (or worse truth social) and wrote a story about it."

I was going to post something similar. I've seen this type of article since 2016. Nothing comes from it.
I'm not really sure what's the point of articles like this.
Is it to create false hope that something will change?
Is it to just get non-MAGA people to click the link? <--- Probably this one
or something else.
What would be a good article would be
"Thousands of MAGA voters march on Capitol Hill in protest to the trump administration's handling of the economy."

What absolutely astonishes me is that the entirety of the country has complete amnesia of the years 2017-2021, as if we're not about to relive that shitty period x10.
Trump said the Americans* will live better.
*See the list of Americans in appendix B
That's exactly what he's trying to do. If you had been even halfassed paying attention you would've known that
If COVID comes back, I'll actually be okay with that. More lockdowns and WfH for me, more MAGA scum dying in agony on ventilators for them. Vaccines for whoever wants to live.
Bold of you to think there would be...
- Lockdowns
- Work from home
- Vaccines
- Any published stories about the resurgence of COVID instead of vague, "respiratory illness" reports sprinkled about
I believe they meant another pandemic the likes of COVID. The world would most definitely care. The news have been quite loud about the monkey pox recently for instance.
COVID itself? Yeah people don't care anymore. If you actively look for the information, you'll find out about new strains and all, but the general public just... isn't interested in that anymore? It's certainly not talked about anymore.
Seeing how quickly people went to completely forget about COVID, as well as looking back at how people behaved during the pandemic, I'm convinced that a slightly more deadly virus would've wiped humanity.
Lockdowns? In a second Trump admin?
If anything, government mandated door licking before lockdowns.
Trump will ban lockdowns and WFH by executive order. How much that will apply to you will depend on your employer and state. If we have another pandemic with similar transmission rates then it will kill ten times as many people.
Are you trying to kill us?
I mean probably not but he definitely doesn't care much either way.
Picking Vance for VP didn't clue them in at all?
No one competent want to work for the new dictator so he has to turn to loyalist.
Suffer in silence, chooms.
I thought there might be more outrage about the sheer amount of billionaires that now have influence over him, but I guess that's not a big concern to them.
I just didn't expect the face eating leopard to come after MY face!
No Trump wants you to take your anger out on his enemies and his friends' enemies.
