Why does John Gannon feel betrayed by Trump after his fiancée’s arrest?

Angie Sullivan 0:04
The problem with so many white voters is they don't give a shit about anything. Until it happens to them personally. There's a fellow by the name of John Gannon, a lifelong Republican. And now he regrets voting for Trump because his fiancee, Jasmine. was arrested in the Houston George Bush airport. Play the clip.
John 0:29
I feel I feel totally betrayed. I mean, you never think, or I never thought a guy like me would ever be involved in anything like this. Eight officers, ICE agents swarmed Jasmine, detained her, didn't tell us why, and rustled her off into a car. No explanation was given. I was just in total disbelief. Nothing like this has ever happened to me. You know, I have several businesses, I'm law abiding, and I pay a lot of tax.
Angie Sullivan 1:05
All right. He feels betrayed. Um, I just have a hard time having empathy for people who Engage in the practice of recreational cruelty when it doesn't affect them. And then when it affects them, they're outraged and just shocked as shit that how could this happen? I own businesses and I pay taxes. I'm supposed to be better than everybody else. And furthermore, I'm not letting him off the hook because I remember the 2024 election pretty clearly. And it was all premised on mass deportations now. Um only an idiot, only an absolute idiot would think that That when it comes to the racism of MAGA. That they would exclude jasmine. Because for MAGA, anybody from a Latin American country, or as Trump likes to call them, shithole countries, it doesn't matter who your fiance is, doesn't matter how hot you are, Jasmine.
Angie Sullivan 2:06
They're going to come for you. That's the situation with these politics. None of us are free until all of us are free. And now, John, because Jasmine's liberty has been taken from her, now he doesn't feel free.

How are MAGA voters reacting to the reality of a second Trump term?

Angie Sullivan 2:20
And so at 70-something years old, for the very first time in his life, he is realizing what has been happening in the United States. for decades to black and brown people over policing in black neighborhoods, etc. And he's not the only one that feels betrayed. A lot of Trump voters are feeling very, very betrayed. Let's play the clip.
Unknown 2:42
That's uh what does it feel like to be living in these conditions right now, in these economic conditions right now? Hurt. Very hurt. Um I try. To do that. sorry, I cry. Um, I try to do a lot for my kids in I can't do much. If you could send a message to the president right now, what would you tell him? He needs to look out for the American people instead of himself. Put us put us first. Does America feel great again? No. Not at all.
Angie Sullivan 3:17
I just have such a hard time. I have empathy for that young mom. Um, I've been a young mother before and uh had very precarious financial situation and it is really, really difficult. Um The fact that people saw what Trump did in Trump one point oh and they see the way he behaves in such a cruel way. The arrogance and thinking that he's going to have some sort of compassion or policy. Творцю. It's just really a cultural problem within the Republican Party. The Republican Party has been able to get the people that are just seen in those clips to go out and vote against their own economic interest because they scare the shit out of them with lies. The immigrants are coming after you, the gays are coming after you, the drag queens are coming after you, books are coming after you, the school teachers are coming after you.

What does the host say about the Republican Party’s use of fear‑based propaganda?

Angie Sullivan 4:13
Yeah. All of that is a pathological lie and it's propaganda. The people that are coming after you. are the people that are in the Republican Party and to an extent corporate democrats as well. Because we have uh not a democracy here. We have a country that services corporations first and foremost in both parties. And that's why you're seeing these uh breakaway candidates like Zoran Mamdani, Abdullah Sayyed. You see them breaking away from all of this corporate control and the people like it. But the people that don't like it, that wanna preserve that system are having a stage five meltdown on both sides because they're terrified. They're terrified that middle America is going to find out who the real boogeyman is.
