    all of them voted to ban abortion

    No, they voted for someone who voted for something that ended up banning abortion. There are a few steps between most people and actual policy.

    they voted to eliminate all non-white immigration

    Citation needed.

    The ACA regulated health insurance, not health care.

    And the health insurance that abides by ACA guidelines determines what forms of health care are covered.

    Look up the percentage that voted for Trump

    People voted for all sorts of reasons, from the letter next to his name (probably the majority) to BS ads on TV (probably a surprisingly high number) to actually thinking he’ll fix inflation (even though that’s already fixed by the fed).

    Very few people who voted for Trump agree with his entire agenda, and many actively dislike him (source: my entire family, neighbors, etc). You can’t really tell someone’s policy beliefs based on who they voted for, you can only tell a general direction they’d prefer the country to go, and it seems lower taxes won this round.

    Trump is an isolationist. Unless it’

    • Israel
    • Russia
    • North Korea
    • Anywhere in the middle east with brown people living there
    • A place that has oil, or real estate he can profit from

    And how does that compare to Biden or Harris? Trump wants to end the war in Ukraine, Biden/Harris want to extend it and keep sending weapons over. Trump seems to want to end the war in Gaza, whereas Biden seems happy to keep selling weapons to Netanyahu. Biden has bombed his fair share of people in the middle east.

    Trump is absolutely terrible, especially on foreign policy, but Biden has been awful as well. That said, I do support helping out Ukraine since it’s a defensive war (though I disagree w/ Biden’s authorization to use certain classes of missiles in Russia, since those require direct US involvement; at that point, we should just join the war).

    The only stat that matters is who they voted for.

    I completely disagree.

    Sure, find me a Reich Winger who isn’t what I described

    Here’s an article with a bunch of anti-Trump Republicans still in office. And that’s only explicitly confirmed ones, I’m sure there are plenty more who haven’t openly opposed Trump, but do intend on opposing some or all of Trump’s positions on those issues you listed.
