I see posts like this every now and then, but I'm not convinced this is happening on any real scale. In fact, most pro-Trumpers I've encountered have been making excuses for every shady thing he's done since taking office as "getting America back on track"

If there were a hundred thousand articles pushed out for a hundred thousand individuals that still leaves 73 million or whatever willing enablers.
People that say trump supporters are regretting his election really don't get trump supporters. A HUGE portion of them voted for trump b/c it hurts their opponents. They don't care how it hurts them just as long as it hurts their opponents.
They said that last time too, 75 million people still decided "You know what, at least it's not a liberal black woman". Or something about Gaza. At least it wasn't buttery males this time.
Reminds me of the joy when watching interviews with people on the British/Irish border, when they learned they now have to buy their groceries 30 mins further than they were used to. They also said: "we didn't vote for this". What do people expect to happen when they vote for something?
It's weird to see billions of dollars and thousands of media-hours invested into a massive industrial scale propaganda engine. And then, after all of that time and money and manpower, we get a "I can't believe you fell for it".
This is regardless of who wins. I remember conservatives smugly insisting their debt-sunk kids and grandkids were idiots for supporting Biden. I remember smug liberals pointing to the shoddy fly-by-night wall building operation on the border and insisting "You fucking idiot border conservatives got what you paid for." I remember conservatives, in turn, laughing at all the liberals who thought Obama would bring about universal health care and climate change reforms and high speed rail.
Every fucking cycle we get this smug "Haha, you idiots fell for it."

Liberals love the "Trump supporters are starting to come around and regret their ways" story. Every day for the next 1300+ days they will be posting this. In truth, the people who voted for Trump with enthusiasm (not just contrarianism, fatigue or ignorance) will find any way to spin his policies as a positive or a necessary evil. And frankly, anyone who voted enthusiastically for the Democratic party is capable of the same and demonstrated they too have no moral red lines.
Liberals blah blah! Both sides same! The more Trump burns everything to the ground, the more ridiculous your statements will look. When Trump pulls us out of NATO and Putin starts reaching into the baltics, I imagine you will still be here trying to convince idiots that Biden and the Democrats are the same.
This is all exactly what I expected from a second Trump presidency and is exactly what I voted against.
They pre-announced all of this shit with Project 2025.
I haven't heard any of them say this isn't what I voted for. Sadly it's exactly what most of them want. They don't give a shit if democracy is lost.
It works both ways
Tbf, you were going to hear those stories either way, it's in Russian/Chinese disinformation campaigns best interest to stoke as much division as possible
Yeah, schadenfreude is small comfort, but I suppose I'll take what I can get to keep spirits up as they fire up the gas chambers.
What do you call people who got conned by a conman. You call them suckers. That is what they are and that is what I'll even call my boss straight to his face
Agreed, but this this the 3rd round of him doing the same bullshit. At this point they aren't suckers, they're cultists.
Maybe, MAYBE in his first term they could pull this “oh no we were fooled” crap but not on his second term.
We have a saying in Texas: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on...wait...how does it go again?
