Summary
The Politics Done Right host highlights how many Americans have repeatedly voted against their interests, electing leaders like Donald Trump, who enact policies that benefit the wealthy while harming working-class and low-income individuals. Despite warnings, many voters have chosen to ignore the reality that Trump’s agenda includes cutting Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security. The media’s failure to challenge misinformation has further enabled this self-destructive voting pattern. However, voters still have the power to pressure Congress to act and correct their mistakes before Trump’s policies cause even more significant harm. Recognizing past errors and demanding accountability is the only way to protect essential social programs and prevent further destabilization of the country.
Key Takeaways
- Voting Against Self-Interest – Many Americans, particularly those reliant on social programs, have voted for Trump despite his policies actively working against them.
- Wealthy Benefit, Poor Suffer – Trump’s tax cuts benefited the rich while taking resources away from critical programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security.
- Media Complicity – The corporate media presents political issues as neutral debates rather than exposing the direct harm of right-wing policies.
- Congressional Cowardice – Republican lawmakers refuse to check Trump’s power because they believe his base will remain loyal no matter the consequences.
- Correcting the Mistake – Voters still have a chance to demand accountability and ensure their representatives fight to protect social programs before irreversible damage is done.
Final Progressive Perspective
The reality is apparent: Trump’s policies serve only the wealthiest Americans while leaving working families, veterans, and the most vulnerable to suffer. Those who voted for him out of fear or misinformation now have a crucial opportunity to demand change. If they fail to act, they will be complicit in their suffering. But if they recognize the deception and push for real accountability, they can still reclaim their power and protect the programs that millions depend on. The future of American democracy depends on the ability of its people to learn from their mistakes and fight for policies that truly serve the majority—not just the elite.

The United States stands at a precipice, teetering between the fundamental promise of democracy and the consequences of misinformed voting. The 2016 and 2020 elections laid bare the reality that millions of Americans have, time and again, voted against their interests, swayed by fear, misinformation, and the well-oiled propaganda machine of the conservative elite. As a result, policies that uplift working-class and struggling Americans have enriched the wealthiest among us while eroding the safety nets that protect the vulnerable. Now, with a convicted felon in the White House and a Republican-controlled Congress unwilling to check his power, the country faces a dire warning: those who have suffered most from Trump’s policies must take responsibility and correct their mistake before it is too late.
The Consequences of the Trump Vote
Many Americans, particularly those reliant on Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), and veterans’ benefits, were warned repeatedly about the dangers of a Trump presidency. Analysts, activists, and progressive voices made it clear that Trump’s economic policies were designed to benefit the ultra-rich while stripping away critical services from the very people who supported him. His first term saw massive tax cuts for billionaires and corporations, which ballooned the deficit and subsequently led Republicans to justify cuts to social programs—programs that disproportionately support the working class and rural voters who overwhelmingly voted for him.
Trump’s recent campaign rhetoric and policy proposals suggest that his second term would be even more disastrous. He has openly discussed cutting Social Security and Medicaid, claiming that “entitlements” are too expensive—even though these programs are funded by the very people who depend on them. His economic team has made no secret of its intent to dismantle SNAP benefits, arguing that too many people rely on government aid. The irony, of course, is that many of Trump’s most ardent supporters are the very individuals who will suffer most under these policies.
The Role of the Media in Misinforming Voters
A primary reason why millions of Americans have voted against their interests is the corporate media’s complicity in normalizing Trumpism. The mainstream press often presents politics as a “both sides” issue, equating right-wing extremism with mainstream progressive policies. This false equivalency does a disservice to the electorate, leading people to believe that cutting Medicaid is just another policy debate rather than a direct attack on the working class.
Moreover, the media has largely failed to call out Trump’s lies in real-time, allowing misinformation to spread unchecked. When Trump and his allies claim that cutting social programs is about “fiscal responsibility,” the media rarely challenges them on why they don’t demand the same from billionaires and military contractors who receive enormous tax breaks and subsidies. By refusing to tell Americans the plain truth—that voting for Trump means voting for policies that will directly harm them—the media has allowed a culture of willful ignorance to flourish.
A Congress Without a Spine
The Republican-controlled Congress has proven itself unwilling to act as a check on Trump’s power, further endangering American democracy. House and Senate Republicans, many of whom know full well that Trump’s policies will devastate their constituents, continue to support him out of political fear. They believe his base will remain loyal no matter what harm Trump inflicts. This political cowardice allows Trump to act with impunity, knowing that he will face no consequences even if he attempts to dismantle democratic institutions further.
However, this is where Trump’s supporters still have a chance to reclaim their power. Congress will be forced to act when they signal to their elected representatives that they will no longer tolerate policies that enrich billionaires at their expense. Politicians respond to pressure—if enough voters make it clear that they will not support candidates who enable Trump’s attacks on social programs, those representatives will change course or risk losing their seats.
Correcting the Mistake Before It’s Too Late
There is no shame in admitting a mistake. Every voter has the right to reassess their choices and demand better from their elected officials. The real danger lies in refusing to acknowledge the truth even when the evidence is overwhelming. Trump’s policies have already harmed countless Americans, and his second term promises to be even worse. The time to act is now.
The path forward requires direct action. Those who voted for Trump but depend on Medicaid, SNAP, or Social Security must contact their representatives and demand protection for these programs. They must organize within their communities to push back against policies that disproportionately harm working-class Americans. Most importantly, they must be willing to reject the propaganda that led them to believe that Trump had their best interests at heart.
The Progressive Message Is the American Majority
Despite right-wing rhetoric, most Americans support policies that protect social programs, expand healthcare, and ensure economic fairness. Poll after poll shows that when asked about specific issues, voters overwhelmingly favor progressive solutions—Medicare for All, a living wage, taxing the wealthy, and strengthening social safety nets. The problem is that many voters have been manipulated into voting based on culture wars rather than policies that affect their daily lives.
The progressive movement must continue to amplify this message, making it clear that economic justice is not a partisan issue but a moral imperative. More Americans need to recognize that when Trump and his allies attack social programs, they are attacking the very fabric of what makes this country function.
A Final Call to Action
Redemption is still possible for those who made the wrong choice at the ballot box. But it requires action. It requires telling your representatives that you will not support cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It requires recognizing that Trump’s policies are not in your best interest. It also requires committing to vote for candidates who prioritize people over profits.
History will judge this moment. Will those who enabled Trump’s rise take responsibility before it’s too late, or will they stand idly by as he strips away their last protections? The choice is theirs. But the stakes couldn’t be higher for the millions of Americans who depend on these programs to survive.
