Damn, that's more sad than funny, even though Trump voters are either stupid, or evil and knew exactly what would happen.
You sleep in the bed you made.
Oh no. Anyways…
There are two wolves inside me.
- This is horrible, no one should have to live through that.
- lol get dunked on plays Toby Fox's Dogsong sped up
Really wish this sort of regret were more common. Approval ratings are holding steady

I fucking despise people like this
They're fine with hurting people, so long as they're not hurt themselves
At least for once one of them actually seems to regret their vote. Fuck her anyway though, they only care when it personally affects them directly. You voted for this to happen to everyone else, turns out that includes you and your family too, so:

We needed that 8 months ago when you knowingly voted against it.
Now YOU want it.
Enjoy those tears, you earned them.
At the same time, extending that hand is what will help. If a person is able to go "omg NOW I get it" and then the door is shut in their face, that will foster even more resentment.
Some people wont change, but those that are willing should be accepted.
Ugh but they suck so bad...
Jokes aside, how can we trust people that have already displayed such selfishness? How can we trust they won't continue to work against the group interest the second their goal is no longer aligned with ours?

Her vote says she didn't give a fuck about anybody else's father, so why should anybody else give a fuck about hers?
Selfish people. Its still a me me me attitude, but now she wants everyone else to come and do what she wants to get what she wants.
I'd put money on the fact that if put in a situation where she was asked to help someone else's family first she would say "But what about MY father!?"
Its still a me me me attitude
I don't know why I read that in Italian accent.
It's-a me 🤌 me🤌 me 🤌
Now I'm reading his entire post as Mario
I feel like the solution to this is more Luigi, tbh.
People would be less selfish if they didn’t feel so hopeless.

Yeah but I am a white dude who had a fairly privileged liberal upbringing, so while I can look at this and snear who actually needs minoritories to betray themselves out of fear? It isn't minorities... they don't have the powerr...
Hmmm...
I adjust the mirror to stare at it and ponder
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.
