No Democrats, no bots, no trolls.

This is a platform dedicated to collecting and sharing stories from Trump supporters who feel betrayed by Donald Trump and/or the elected (and unelected) officials who enable him. Our goal is to give voice to those who have experienced broken promises, policy reversals, or other actions that contradict the values and commitments they told us they believed in.

Name 'Em and Shame 'Em

We voted Republican because we believed the promises. They were going to lower the cost of living, lower the deficit, reduce government spending, end endless wars, stop illegal immigration, lower taxes for working class Americans, and put the brakes on out-of control woke ideologies.

Instead, the cost of living is increasing, the deficit is increasing, services we depend on like Medicaid are being threatened, jobs are being cut thoughtlessly and indiscriminately, and the President's priorities have slipped out of alignmnent with ours. Our representatives seem to have forgotten us in their haste to appease the administration, and our voices are not being heard.

Here, we tell our stories of betrayal, and name & shame those who perpetrated them, and who by cowardly inaction enabled it. We will make our voices heard by the lawmakers that have abandoned their constituencies.

Share Your Story

Use the My Story section to share your personal experience of betrayal. You can choose which details to keep private and which to share publicly. We do not share private details with anyone. Ever. The server is out of reach of the administration. The details we ask for are only used to validate that you are a real Trump supporter who has a real story.

There are no comments or discussions. Submissions should include "receipts" that we can use for moderation. We're going to look and make sure these stories aren't fake, aren't generated by AI or anything. We will, upon request, redact any identifying information displayed on the site.

In the Betrayers section, you can see which government officials have been associated with stories of betrayal and read those accounts.

The News section collects news articles about Republicans and MAGA voters who are speaking out about feeling betrayed by government officials.

Our Values

Truth: We verify stories and provide a platform for authentic experiences.

Privacy: We respect your privacy and give you control over what personal information is shared.

Accountability: We believe our elected representatives should be held accountable for their promises, actions, and inactions.

It’s not limited to Republicans. I saw this during election season as well with Uncommitted.

Those who wanted to vote for Kamala downplayed how bad she was for Palestine. Those who were withholding their votes constantly downplayed how dangerous Trump was, and then blamed Kamala for putting them in this position.

Edit: I’m not passing judgement. I’m just trying to show how it’s not exclusive to Republicans to change your perspective so you don’t feel bad about voting a particular way.
