Here’s the important number:
Just 5% said they regret their vote and would vote differently if they could.
Yes but it’s actually 16% that would vote differently. These people are just incapable of admitting having done the wrong thing and admitting regret.
When given a chance to recast their 2024 votes, in fact, just 84% of Trump voters said they would vote for him again — compared to 91% for Harris voters.
So while some might prefer to not call it “regret,” 16% would apparently do things differently with hindsight.
Dishonesty cuts both ways. Trump has consistently performed better than his polling shows, because an awful lot of people wouldn’t admit that they voted for him. Just because these people say they regret their vote doesn’t mean they actually do.
It’s possible that some of them don’t want to admit to a stranger that they’d change their vote.
But, most of it is probably choice-supportive bias or post-purchase rationalization. They believe they’re smart, right-thinking people and that they couldn’t have made a horrible mistake, so they look for reasons to feel like they made the right choice, despite all the evidence against it. They’re supported by a whole group of propaganda networks that explain away every bad thing that Trump does and shift the blame to democrats, liberals, trans people, immigrants, non-whites, women, etc.
We’ve heard this from their own mouths. They may feel regret, but they have learned no lessons and have clearly stated they would do it again. These people are evil beyond redemption.
This is so sad, that he is a rapist, and ruin the economy, takes healthcare away from people, illegally arrest immigrants, while having his Gestapo forces shoot people in the face, destroys US democracy and fail to help old allies in Ukraine didn’t do it.
Even entering an illegal war and committing war crimes didn’t do it.
But the gas increasing 1 dollar, that’s the straw that breaks the camels back!! Except it didn’t totally.Paraphrasing:
Today 62% said they were “very confident” in their vote.
Another 21% of Trump voters said they were still “confident” in their votes but had “some concerns.”That’s a whopping 83% of Trump voters who are still OK with their vote and how things are going!!
Nothing is actually real until it adversely affects them.
They control the release of these polling numbers. They control information. Anything you are hearing from a “source” is curated.
It’s cult, and Trump knew what he was doing. He said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose any support. Now he literally admit to and rape kids and they still blindly follow him. Hell they probably offer up their own children.
Yeah, cultists tend to go all in. IIRC the heavens gate guys cut their balls off for the leader. These fuckers will swallow a gas price increase.

Will they learn from it?
No. The non-voters still haven’t.

But you see, when JD Vance takes over it’ll be all kinds of different and the Republicans will finally fix everything the Deep State Democrat Trump broke.
Pfft yeah right. Child rape didn’t do it and nothing else will either.
Every asshole I know that voted for the pedo-in-chief will need to put in a lot of work to make amends.
Most of the ones I know are unapologetic about their support for him, when asked. They’re definitely less vocal than when he started off his 2nd term, though.
I drove through the Midwest last week and was SHOCKED to see no other political bumper stickers in 1200 miles, and only a couple of billboards, mostly for abortion. It’s gone quiet, but not in a “I bet people are getting along better now” kind of quiet.
Now already? /s Better late than never, hope they manage to turn the tide for them selves. Trust and respect from the rest of the world will take deccades (if ever) but they will never ever regain the position they once had.
They’ll vote again for him and his ilk. Being unhappy doesn’t make you admit you’re wrong. Also, the weight of gas prices doesn’t compare to the pleasure of inflicting cruelty on the non-white “others”…
“Oh wait,I didn’t think he’d hurt me! He was only supposed to hurt the people I hate.”
“He’s not hurting the people he’s supposed to be hurting!”
All those Americans from rural areas that voted for trump because “he is bringing back jesus”, will change their mind quickly once they can’t afford shit. murricans can be religious zealots, but money and greed is the most successful cult up there.
Too late, reap what you sow motherfuckers
