I'm wondering if your friends and family that voted for Trump are already suffering buyers remorse or pretending to be shocked or surprised by his actions so far ?
My republican neighbors are expressing "bewilderment " and say they didn't see these appointments and actions coming. ( I'm having a hard time believing since the ones I've spoken to are highly intelligent professionals.)
I'm just curious

They're still doing the happy dance.

(1,214 posts)Who voted for Trump, were playing with a full deck, this election. Voting while a few slices short of a loaf. They (my mother, sister, and one uncle) expressed such fear of "Muslim terrorists," and "Mexican rapists" (among many other bogeymen), that they were and still are blind to any other issues. Having a rational discussion with them became impossible. Any point of view that was presented, with which they disagreed, was viewed as an ad hominem attack on them personally.
Edit (to answer the actual question): they seem quite happy with these choices.
Too long, didn't read: they weren't thinking.

(14,853 posts)... liberals are "crying" about the results.
That's pretty much the Republican party now. No real platform other than being anti-liberal and anti-Democrat.
Maybe Ann Coulter reaches more of them than I imagined? That's pretty much her message -- "Liberals are evil. The end."
