Donald Trump proved during his time in office and since why he is unfit to be President of the United States. Even those who have voted for him in the past realize just how dangerous a second Trump presidency would be. Each person has their own reasons—January 6, Trump’s lies about the 2020 election, the 91 felony counts against him, his call to terminate the Constitution—but they all agree on one thing: He must never hold office again.
Ever since Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, he has been alienating Republican voters from the party. Many Republicans held their noses in 2016 and voted against Hillary Clinton. Some Republicans held their noses again and voted for Trump in 2020.
But some Trump voters didn’t like what they saw—the lies, mishandling of the COVID pandemic, the constant drama and chaos, the two impeachments. In 2020, thousands of 2016 Trump voters flipped their votes and propelled Joe Biden to victory.
He has only become more extreme since 2020. His refusal to admit he lost the 2020 election led to the violent insurrection at the Capitol on January 6—one of the most dangerous days our democracy has ever seen. He has praised our enemies like Vladimir Putin and intends to abandon our NATO allies and the Ukrainian people. He wants to install loyalists in his next administration who will ensure that he gets what he wants, no matter how unlawful. He now faces 91 felonies in four separate indictments for falsifying business records, mishandling classified documents, trying to overturn the 2020 election, and pressuring the Republican Georgia Secretary of State to “find him” votes.
In 2024, Trump’s former supporters know that a second Trump presidency would take America down one of the darkest paths in our history.
It takes courage to speak out against your party. It takes courage to change your mind about Trump. It isn’t easy, but these voters understand that our democracy is worth saving. Listen to them explain in their own words why they can never support Trump again.
