    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!!

      They control the release of these polling numbers. They control information. Anything you are hearing from a “source” is curated.

      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.

    Buyer’s remorse is a tough pill to swallow when you’re the one who bought the pharmacy.

    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”…

    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.

    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.
