The only good thing is if all his policies affect his voters directly but it's prob going to affect more of the people who didn't vote for him.

Surprisingly enough since now it's starting to affect them personally, a few members on r/conservative are very slowly starting to become self-aware of who they voted in. Not everyone mind you, but a few small cracks are showing in some of their threads.
My favorite quote from u/maktesh:

Indeed. I know several people (including a family member) who work at various relief agencies; they aren't even allowed to give out food and blankets (to people who are here legally) with the latest order.
The issue here is that much of this was already promised and in the pipeline. It's one thing to cut off future agreements, but it's another to leave people stranded when they've already been set up to fail.
This is negatively affecting SIVs and legitimate refugees, such as hunted/persecuted Christians.
For example, people can no longer receive the already-allocated funds for things like rental assistance. Agencies have already walked them through signing leases and getting ready to find work, but can no longer help with that. This harms the people renting homes (edit: and landlords, who are often people with a spare home) and is essentially going to heighten the homeless problem. And keep in mind that these refugees have to repay their travel loans. For non-SIVs, they aren't given free gifts. Just an interest-free six-year loan.
I support slowing/stopping immigration until we sort out the issues, but going back on our promises and leaving people in the streets isn't how we make America great again.

Very interesting to see that they spent all last week praising Trump and laughing at Libs, but the literal moment if affected them, it's "whoa hold on a sec!".
