A Note for Low and Middle-Income Trump Supporters:

You're not going to become rich and live like rich people. That's not going to happen, and Trump and his minions will see to it that you don't. They want to you to remain poor, you see. It's important to them that you remain poor. No matter what they promise, you can be sure that it will not benefit you. They like poor people, as long as they are healthy and work hard to make them richer. But, be careful. If you become ill, get injured, or grow too old to work, you're no longer helpful to them. At they point they only want you to die quickly so you won't be an expense.

Don't be misled by Trump and those like him. They may try to speak in your language and will certainly promise to do things that benefit you. Don't think that because you are Caucasian that they like you better than your darker-colored neighbors, either. They don't. If you can't work, then you're going to be just as ignored and just as deeply punished. So, if you voted for Donald Trump, try to stay healthy and keep a steady job. If you can't support yourself and your family, you'll just be another useless eater to Trump and Friends.

But, no matter what you do, you're not going to become part of the wealthy class. That's certain. You'll never be able to take advantage of those tax cuts they keep talking about. Instead, you'll be paying more so the rich get them. That school choice they keep talking about is for people like them who can afford those fancy private schools. Your kids won't qualify, and the public schools will just get worse and worse. Their health care bill won't help you either. It's designed to make you avoid healthcare and stay on the job. If you get sick, and you can't afford the high deductibles, Trump wants you to die quickly and keep healthcare costs low. That's what he means by lower healthcare costs. Healthcare costs go down when you die. They're not for you. They're for the wealthy.

I'm sorry to have to tell you these things. But, you really should know what to expect if you keep electing Republicans to office. Think about that before the next election. Please. For your own good, vote for Democrats. They will actually try to help you. They'll try very hard to do that, but they need your help to get elected.

...the comprehension level for Trumpaholics would have been the same. THEY WON'T UNDERSTAND ONE WORD OF THIS, SADLY.

I guess some are slower to learn or more stubborn than others.

Surely this time around enough will get it that we don't have to go through this ever again!

"You're not going to become rich and live like rich people. That's not going to happen... But, no matter what you do, you're not going to become part of the wealthy class. That's certain"

How do you know that? Why are you certain of that? There are many people who start from a middle/lower class upbringing and make it to the "wealthy class". It doesn't happen often nor is it likely, but that doesn't mean it is certain to not happen. Extreme, patronizing language like that tends to put people off and, ultimately, undermines your argument.
