The lessons learned process is immensely important after any experience, especially one as catastrophic as the second Trump administration.
For me, the lesson learned is that Trump voters didn't just make the same mistake twice, they did it aggressively and actively bought into the whole rancid package. If they have buyer's remorse now, then I don't see how they can just expect forgiveness, they have to earn it. And the least they need to do is to fo the post mortem, identify and learn the lessons about how and why they voted for Trump (and that they dont look for easy off-the-peg answers, it really won't be about Biden or Harris), and then they do something about what they have done in the light of the lessons they've learned. Because whether they like it or not, at the moment they're the dog that bit the child.

It's heartwarming to see that even loyalists in our electorate know when they are betrayed. "Mr. President, don't mess with your own voters!"

AI COVID death toll analysis finds 150,000-180,000 unreported deaths.
"COVID probably killed 150,000 more people in its first two years than official U.S. tolls show | Scientific American" https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/covid-killed-150-000-more-people-in-its-first-two-years-than-official-toll/
To put it starkly that's THREE Vietnam 's. The death toll was over 1,000,000 American's.
And the Citizens reelected the incompetent chaos to another term allegedly?

The last of the advent calendar from Fortnum and Mason.
Verdict - absolutely not worth it.
Which is why it took so long to force through it.
Half of the tea bags were sealed into the edge of their paper envelopes, with the glue infiltrating the teas’ bags.
And the biscuits … you know those biccy snacks you get in hospital for afternoon tea? Dry, stale, that all taste the same no matter what flavour they are meant to be? That.
The only good ones were the very few big choc covered ones.
But, I now have another advent box I can fill with other stuff. Like floofs of fiber blends for a chaos sock yarn spin next year.
If you voted for Donald Trump under the belief that he would increase 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 freedom (fortunately, I did not), it's safe to say that you were gravely mistaken. At least there was one candidate who seemed to genuinely care, despite his own party's leaders hating him—a long shot named Chase Oliver. Too bad we still do not have ranked-choice voting.

Well, I pre-ordered and bought BlackOps 7 on Friday and caved to the idea that even if it was just more multiplayer, it would be more ‘fun’ than the very social Battlefield 6. Then a weekend of buyers remorse and I hear that a huge number were pushing for refunds.
I didn’t even know I could get a refund on the digital version, so I tried anyway. Refund accepted.
