A Florida woman has gone viral after posting a tearful video confessing that she regrets voting for Donald Trump — a decision she believes contributed to her father's detention by immigration authorities.

On 16 June 2025, Cynthia Hotom shared an emotional clip on social media in which she begged for the release of her terminally ill father. The man, who has lived in Florida for more than 30 years and spent most of his life working in construction to support his family, was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

This is a bad analogy. The person involved seems to be genuinely introspective and repentant. The south post civil war was unrepentant, and the north didn't have the resolve to keep control, partly because the north was also racist as fuck.

I'll bet she continues to vote Republican by focusing on blaming Trump instead of the party whose values he represents. She can say she fell for conservative talking points all she wants, but odds are she will latch on to some single issue crap and explain away why she just can't vote for Dems because they aren't perfect or something.
