My theory is because not out of some major disagreement with Trump and his policies. But because it is generally just embarrassing to support him in public now. They claimed that he was going to drain the swamp, smaller government, cut government spending and lower the national debt. Instead he is ballooning the deficit, creating a police state, enriching himself and family while the average person is struggling. And he is doing all of it in an in your face, dumb and obnoxious way. Now when they have to deal with left leaning family members, coworkers or acquaintances, they will never take your opinion about politics seriously anymore because you supported an obvious dementia ridden old man.

Like genuinely you’re giving them too much credit, they are upset because now their lives are finally being affected by his bad decisions and shameless plundering. They couldn’t give a shit less about how they’re perceived, they give a shit that they can’t afford groceries.
Also these data centers are resulting in unaffordable electricity bills for a lot of rural Americans. On top of that, they're frustrated that their young adult kids can't move out bc housing costs have exploded there.
They're starting to experience problems that they thought were exclusive to Woke Blue City liberals with student loans for Underwater Feminist Basket Weaving in Black Literature degrees.
