return2ozmaTrump voter regret is clearly registering now
jinniAnd when literally everyone else told you that you would be an unfathomable idiot to buy it.
redlemaceHere are the percentages of 2024 Trump voters who disapproved of him in each of these areas:
- Gas prices: 45%
Does that mean that the majority of Trump voters approve of Trump’s gas prices? A nation of masochists, apparently.
TheTechnician27If he can turn water into wine, then by god we can waterboard that Palestinian until he turns it into ethanol for our cars.
Some of his supporters will accept anything with a smile as long as it’s their side doing it. Some are so drowned in right wing media bullshit that they might as well be living in a parallel universe. And some will just be so averse to criticizing Trump (particularly in a poll which is likely to have political remifications) that they’ll defend or ignore almost anything bad, even if they do hate it.
Yep. Just like some are only on the Trump train because they’re afraid of the social ramifications of saying anything bad about him.
In some circles, saying a single bad word about Trump will get you ostracized, shunned, and perhaps even targeted by violence.
TheMadCodgerThey would let Trump take a shit in their mouths if they thought a Dem would have to smell it.

mercImperial media obscures the connection. I heard NPR talking about higher gas prices with ZERO mention of trump/iran. And, if they do mention it, they usually blame Iran at least implicitly but often explicitly.
if november elections happen (big if), he’s gonna rig them big time. We all know that.
Because, otherwise, if he wins again, and does it fairly, the US deserve to become a big north korea.
br0daNot that I put anything past this administration, but in order for him to “win again” we would need to rewrite the constitution as the 22nd amendment specifically bans more than two terms of a presidency.
I’m not saying he won’t try because they are indeed deplorable monsters.
They’re referring to midterm elections which are happening this year
midterm elections which are might be happening this year
Fixed it for you. It’s by no means guaranteed that the fascists are going to let elections happen at all, and it’s all but guaranteed that they won’t be allowing anything resembling free and fair elections.
The DNC headquarters right now:
in order for him to “win again” we would need to rewrite the constitution as the 22nd amendment specifically bans more than two terms of a presidency.
Nope. The Mango Mussolini and his fellow fascists don’t even bother changing laws anymore, they just break them while ignoring anyone who says they’re not allowed to.
The sooner you realize that the constitution doesn’t protect anyone from people who just ignore it, the sooner you can start working towards replacing it with something that DOES.
They’ll vote again for him and his ilk. Being unhappy doesn’t make you admit you’re wrong. Also, the weight of gas prices doesn’t compare to the pleasure of inflicting cruelty on the non-white “others”…
They’ll vote again for him and his ilk.
Ofc there’s no other option. They’re all of his ilk.
“Oh wait,I didn’t think he’d hurt me! He was only supposed to hurt the people I hate.”
“He’s not hurting the people he’s supposed to be hurting!”
TrackinDaKrakenHere’s the important number:
Just 5% said they regret their vote and would vote differently if they could.
PapaSkwatThat’s the important part. And even that 5% would have voted for Harris instead, she still wouldn’t have won. Most people in this thread who are celebrating and laughing only read the headline.
This kind of “told you so!” stuff and thinking they were untouchable is what led the the Democrats loss. And will again if people aren’t careful. People need to stop thinking “Not Trump!”, because that doesn’t win elections. Dems need to come up with some good candidates who are more than just “not Trump.”
The party is losing support poll after poll after poll, and they think attacking leftists is going to help. The polls are screaming that they are going in the wrong direction, and they are completely obsessed with Hasan Piker right now. There is a coordinated effort going on across social media that is so sad and obvious. They are flailing and crashing out and it’s pathetic. I’ve never seen a party more outwardly hostile to its own voters than the mother fucking Democratic party. The Republicans at least feign like they care about their voter’s desires (mostly because they just tell their voters what they want).

Yep, just now, in another thread I was accused of being someone else and being propaganda. LMAO All because I said that back in 2024, Lemmy was way more hostile to people who criticized the Dem party. It was wrong to do then, and wrong to do now lol
Democrats just can not accept responsibility for what happened. They need better candidates or shit’s gonna get even worse. How hard is it to find someone under the age of 60, and who had independent forward-thinking ideas and cares about the public?! WTF?!
The Democratic party isn’t there to represent left-wing voters. They’re there to make sure that left-wing voters don’t get represented by any party
Before any Centrist disagree, ask yourself who’s currently the president and why. Ask yourself if centrism is a viable strategy for stopping Trump and candidates like Trump based on the evidence, not the common knowledge that’s been disproven
5% regret their vote
Read that, then look at how small election splits are. This is a good thing.
Do we get frustrated and angry as we wish everyone who defaulted to voting right because their parents did and they don’t know better and can’t be bothered to read real news? Yes.
Should we be happy when enough people show change to be visible on the horizon? Also yes.
because their parents did and they don’t know better and can’t be bothered to read real news?
OR some people just don’t believe the same things you do, and they vote Republican. Welcome to democracy. Not everyone who votes differently than you is just ignorant and can’t be bothered to read the real news.
Pushing the fallacy that Republicans/republican voters are stupid, is that made you all lose to Trump. Twice.
I know plenty fo republicans who are smart and a force to be reckoned with. I don’t agree with or subscribe to a lot of their views, but I wouldn’t call them stupid.
Thinking they’re stupid is what fucked the Dem party in the first place.
Also, before people attack me for being a trump. Nah, you can attacke me for being “BoTh SiDeS” because I think both sides suck equally. I’m a third party voter. Proudly.
The ones you speak of don’t regret their vote, and never will, so I have no need to address them as it relates to the statistic. Also, ignorant doesn’t mean dumb. Lastly, I’m glad you feel your third-party vote had an impact, vs voting in primaries to push the right candidate that could succeed. (if one happens).
Have you read the article? Because it’s not 5% but 16% that would vote differently:
So while some might prefer to not call it “regret,” 16% would apparently do things differently with hindsight.
You’re giving the average person too much credit. Majority of people are genuinely incapable of either learning a lesson or applying the lesson elsewhere. Like sure they may now see some bad results of their vote and may regret it but they’re not actually internalizing any of it, they’re not working on themselves to be less susceptible to authoritarianism or to break to down any of the bullshit they believed on the way to making that vote they “regret”.
I’m not giving anyone any credit or arguing anything at all. I’m just stating the facts from the article.
These are articles are for leopardsatemyface crowd. It’s simply about smug hur during. Nothing of value will be accomplished. Probably gonna get worse.
We’ve heard this from their own mouths. They may feel regret, but they have learned no lessons and have clearly stated they would do it again. These people are evil beyond redemption.
It’s possible that some of them don’t want to admit to a stranger that they’d change their vote.
But, most of it is probably choice-supportive bias or post-purchase rationalization. They believe they’re smart, right-thinking people and that they couldn’t have made a horrible mistake, so they look for reasons to feel like they made the right choice, despite all the evidence against it. They’re supported by a whole group of propaganda networks that explain away every bad thing that Trump does and shift the blame to democrats, liberals, trans people, immigrants, non-whites, women, etc.
Yes but it’s actually 16% that would vote differently. These people are just incapable of admitting having done the wrong thing and admitting regret.
When given a chance to recast their 2024 votes, in fact, just 84% of Trump voters said they would vote for him again — compared to 91% for Harris voters.
So while some might prefer to not call it “regret,” 16% would apparently do things differently with hindsight.
That’s a pretty weak headline tho. \s
IlixtzeAll those Americans from rural areas that voted for trump because he is bringing back jesus or some shit like that will change their mind quickly once they can’t afford shit. Murricans can be religious zealots, but money and greed is the most successful cult up there.

Nope. That’s one of the main problems with religious fundamentalist weirdos: they tend not to change their minds based on facts or objective reality.

That’s assuming that the two cults don’t overlap MUCH more than they diverge in the US. Which they do.
they tend not to change their minds based on facts or objective reality.
It’s weird how much people expect the irrational to behave rationally. The state is literally committing genocide and waging war under the pretense of the old testament. I don’t think it’s even possible to act rationally under this death cult. Who can even take this shit seriously?
CerebralHawksNot that I expect to find any here, but I would challenge anyone who still supports him to name anyone who he publicly supported in 2016, 2020, or hell, even 2024 who he still supports now. He turns on his people. But yeah, sure, he’s looking out for you and yours. I’m sure your tariff cheque is in the mail. You’ll get it any day now. In the meantime, have fun paying higher gas prices, and the higher grocery bills it brings, since truckers have to buy gas, too.
Pam Bondi was one of the few. He supported her in Florida as early as 2013, and she supported him early in 2016. That’s one reason why her being out as AG is a bigger deal than say Christi Noem who was just a MAGA-type governor who only really got into Trump’s orbit when she as trying to become his running mate in 2024.
I mean I still get the 1% who yell out trump or a swear or slur of some kind at protests. Granted its kinda hard to determine flucation when the amount is so low to begin with.
orlyowlAnother hopeful sounding headline telling us all what we want to hear.
Meanwhile in the text of the article:
When given a chance to recast their 2024 votes, in fact, just 84% of Trump voters said they would vote for him again
Just 84%?!
That’s still a massive loss of support. In a free election, that would mean one of the worst election losses in history.
that would mean one of the worst election losses in history.
That’s just because of the stupid way elections work IN USA, not because there has been a massive change in the opinion of the population. Theoretically you can get ALL the seats in congress with 51% of the vote, if they are distributed right.
