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.

If there were a hundred thousand articles pushed out for a hundred thousand individuals that still leaves 73 million or whatever willing enablers.

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."

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.

There are some stories of trump voters that had their immigrant wifes deported and they are totally shocked, because “shes one of the good ones”

I saw a news story from conservative women who have government jobs that are now realizing DEI means women too, not just black . Not saying they’re rational but they’re out there

Like 60% of the male Latino vote went to trump, and I've seen Trump support shirts among those rounded up by ICE, so some of them are in the Find Out phase.

There's also the idiot Arabic groups that helped get Trump in power by demonizing Harris then are all shocked Pikachu when Trump turned out to be exponentially worse.

One of the ones in my office openly said there are three words he thinks need to come back “the r-word, the f-word, and you know the other one”. They are emboldened and giddy

We have a saying in Texas: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on...wait...how does it go again?

as I have gotten older, the more and more I realize that the story of 1984 isn't really a warning for the general masses but more of a warning to those people that are easily manipulated. The two main characters are so compliant in their suffering.

"If you believed x, maybe it's time to look at who told you x and whether they're a trustworthy source of information"

maybe point out how they maybe can’t trust where they got their idea of who trump was

people have been doing this for years. YEARS

i will mock and ridicule them until the day i die. fuck trump, and fuck trump supporters.

Lots of people responding here are missing your point. If somebody you know voted for Trump is now struggling to understand what's going on, and they voice this thought to you, take it as an opportunity. You shouldn't tell them what to do (ie "Don't watch Fox News"), but rather, follow the Socratic Method to guide them to question their sources. Start small - their entire worldview won't shatter in one conversation. But if you see cracks forming in their beliefs, that's something worth fostering.

No, not everybody is going to see the light. It's important to know your "audience." If you don't believe they're asking in good faith, or if you're not comfortable engaging with them, then please don't do it. At the same time, although it would feel really good to throw a We told you so! at them, it's better saved for rants among like-minds. Responding with such hostility to somebody who already feels used and betrayed isn't going to help them find their way back to reality.

Remember that we are going to need to be as united as possible on this war against the oligarchs. Whether someone has seen this threat coming for years, or only just now realized what's going on, it's not going to matter in the big picture. It's better to educate than isolate.

I guarantee you that the people saying "this isn't what I voted for" voted for him in 2016, 2020, and in 2024.

They got exactly what they voted for. These people are just surprised that the leopard is eating their face, and not those of darker skin.

It's almost like it could have been easily predicted

Like, people had been screaming at these single issue voter to not do it, yet they did it, everyone is fucked, and they pretend they didn't do it.

I wouldn't be this annoyed if it's some small country but this is US, their policy affect the world. What worst is melon husk trying the same trick on other country as well.

Sounds like copium to me.

Agreed, but this this the 3rd round of him doing the same bullshit. At this point they aren't suckers, they're cultists.
