She's right about the unity. I know there is some schadenfreud here, but at the end of the day if Trump voyers want to change their minds it's a good thing.
The percentage that would vote differently is single digit. 2% from the polls. They're not regretting much.
They'll vote the same way at the first opportunity
They'll perform some shitty mental gymnastics to justify it, but they'll do it
They don't disapprove of the deportation efforts (or the tariffs, or anything else), they just think he's "going about it the wrong way". Which means they'll happily vote for the next Republican promising the same things, figuring "this time'll be different".
They only think it's the "wrong way" when they're affected
Anyone who votes for any conservative does so because they want certain groups to be hurt
It's shitty behaviour
Do they want to change their mind, or are they upset it affected them?
Don’t mistake short term anger for long term change. These people aren’t going to reevaluate their positions in life.
Finally, one that says they wish they made a different choice. Unfortunately, if this didn't happen to someone close to her, she would probably still be for this.
