Trump supporters and voters will have to live with the fact that they enabled this for the rest of their life. I do not envy them. Especially those that will snap out of it at some point.
- SecretDreams 7mo agoI think only a small percentage might ever feel remorse or empathy regarding how their voting choices shaped world outcomes thereafter. For those that ever do regret it, I think giving them a path to redemption is the only way the world will ever heal. For those incapable of having those feelings.. well, I can hope karma is real.
- cosmicgadget 7mo agoWhy would they regret it? He's doing exactly what they voted for. I mean, maybe there is fuel price regret but that's not really a redemption path.
- mindslight 7mo agoThat was true after 2016, and plenty of them did. The problem is that Grump was able to attract a whole bunch of new scumbags - from his destructive politicization of Covid, the surveillance industry seeing a more direct route to become an inescapable part of the government, the growing performative chest-thumping "manosphere" etc. At this point I don't see much shame on the horizon.
- UncleMeat 7mo agoThey won't just have to live with it. They like it. My aunt is a republican lobbyist. She is also a drunk. This means she regularly texts us the most incredibly odious beliefs. Stuff like how my other aunt should kill herself because she is a leech for taking disability from the government. MAGA voters aren't sad that Trump is out here saying "fuck you, libs" on a regular basis. They love it.
- no-name-here 7mo agoI wish you were right, but I suspect it will be like how in recent years most people will say they never supported the Iraq invasion etc.
