Tony, Pretty Much

I get being unhappy about the economy depending on who you are but the thing about a vote is that you can’t take it back like a suit. I wonder what these people were thinking.

This is only going to mean something if these folks get that the next chance they have to hold Trump accountable is the 2026 midterms and whatever local elections they have this year and that they need to vote for Democrats.

Swing State Trump Voters Have Buyer’s Remorse: ‘It’s Very Scary’

They voted for President Donald Trump to bring prices down and bolster the economy. Now they regret their vote.

@TonyStark many did not vote at all.

I don't think Democrats should expect them to return without valid reasons.
They have valid reason why they did not vote

@ozzy Australia doesn’t have anything to do with Michigan white voters. I’d say have a good day but actually don’t.

@TonyStark I am so sick of these stories. These people knew exactly what futures they were choosing from and somehow they decided 2017 to 2020 was the way to go. A pox on them.

@KanaMauna What messaging was going to get through to people who are this blocked to reality?

The only ones who can save them are them. It’s not up to us anymore.

@TonyStark these Trump voters believed in a liar and a convicted felon. They voted for a thug and a thief. #stupid #stupidity. They voted for mass deportation and to hate the liberals not the economy. #racists #bigots #RepublicansAreTheProblem. They are #traitors to #democracy. Trump said he is a will be a #Dicktator on day. #dumbvoters

@TonyStark At least they say they have remorse, unlike this hopeless jerk.

No amount of messaging can reach this.

@TonyStark @ScottLang I'm sure his lack of regret is a lot of comfort to her as she sits in detention.

And I have no sympathy for anyone who voted for him, voted for a third party candidate, or were eligible and didn't vote.

This time they even had a published plan and they're sticking to it. There is zero excuse.

@jbowen I definitely don’t yet.

I will say that whatever people in any of those groups get with the program and drop their nonsense and want to team up with the 75 million people who did the right thing, they’ll be the ones who help set the agenda for the future.

@TonyStark
The ones who realize their mistake are definitely better than the ones who don't, and we'll need them if there's any chance of things improving (something I don't hold out a lot of optimism for, personally), but I have a *lot* of anger and resentment toward them that I'm not quite sure what to do with.

@jbowen I hear ya. When I see what’s happening to people, I’m fucking pissed. I’m pretty much in that state all the time.

Could have been avoided with an easy gesture like filling in the box next to Kamala Harris’s name.

@TonyStark Harris is more right-leaning than I would like and I wasn't excited about voting for her, but the choice was between "status quo" and "burn everything to the ground out of spite and hatred."

This wasn't an election on the nuances of monetary policy or something. It was between relative sanity and insanity. And we choice insanity. For the second time. After the presented their insane plans with a spiffy website.

@TonyStark VP Harris told everyone exactly what was going to happen if Trump was elected again. The only thing the least bit surprising is how fast it's happening.
