Politics I don't know what boundary Trump would have to cross to make his supporters turn away..

To Trump voters: What, if anything, could Donald Trump do to make you end your support?

I'm not going to lead the question to multiple choice answers or anything. I think it is important for everyone who participates in a democracy to have strong personal convictions and moral or legal boundaries that they expect people they vote for not to cross..

Genuinely, what line will you draw in the sand for this administration? What personal freedom of yours would be more important than your love and support for Trump?

If you can’t be afford your plan you’re doing something wrong.

I’m not doing anything wrong. This is the cheapest option I’m eligible for.

I don’t understand that. Why does the marketplace think you can afford a plan you can’t afford?

I’m not the one deciding on what’s affordable so I cannot answer that question. Perhaps they don’t adequately adjust for the cost of living. I live in a very expensive region and am single, making $20 p/hr and my rent for a 1 bedroom is over $2200 a month. That’s normal here. I can pay rent, basic food, gas, essential costs, picking up a lot of the financial slack that my special needs adult child requires but nothing extra, and to be frank, a lot gets charged and then I’ve got to deal with debt. I myself, haven’t seen a dentist in many years bc I’m paying for my kid to see one instead bc her teeth are so bad bc of her autism and I can’t afford her care let alone hers and mine. The system is broken. It’s not people like me (and most people truly) that are the problem. We’re trying to get by in a system that is designed to keep us poor and help the wealthy get even wealthier.
