How many honest Trump voters or non-voters are like...well, maybe I screwed up?

[Hawki97]

Obviously the cult is gonna cult. They'll never stop bonering for their Jim Jones. And they will prove it in response to this thread. Don't disappoint me bois!

However, supposedly America is filled with aw shucks good folk that just don't support Trump but did what they thought was right in the ballot box (or not and stayed home). We all know that people can't openly admit they may have been wrong. But what percentage of Trump voters / non-voters / small party voters have watched the last couple months and are starting to regret their choice?

I'd bet it's a up to a couple million by now.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Non voters for sure. 3 time dipshit award winners? 0%, ok I'll change the 0% to under 5%. The FAFO thread and particularly one story I shared of the 3 timer federal employee who was cut. You see, she was fine with everything until she was impacted. So we have that small sample I guess.

You’re forgetting the other option was a minority woman.

When I see a candidate I believe is worthy of occupying the White House again, I will vote with enthusiasm for him or her irrespective of the letter next to that person's name. And not before

You sound like a a very aw shucks, good folk American. Thank you for your service.

Until then you get what you get and no rational reason to bitch about it.

 

[goldmom]

I absolutely do NOT regret skipping that part of my ballot altogether.

Sad that the color or gender should still even be a consideration.

When did the US stop deserving worthy persons who ran and won on their experience and position on important issues? I can’t help but wonder how we did this to ourselves.

So the lesser of two evils just doesn’t register with you then? And I mean that figuratively as only one candidate comes across as evil and the other was just “not very good”…

Agreed but it is comparing liver and onions to a shit sandwich. Not choosing means starving…imho…

I'm glad to hear happenings in our country are bringing you no pause or reexamination. Shutting out the noise and finding peace are valuable tools.

38 more days of positive thoughts to you.

 

[TennNole17]

I mean…I think Trump voters got what they voted for, not sure which action he’s taken that’s not in line with what they voted for?

IMHO I see it differently. But as of this morning I think that’s still allowed.

 

[bhawk24bob]

You been watching the Dems over the last few months? Nobody, including Dem voters, is saying that they wish they voted for more of that

I live in Illinois. My voting or lack thereof had zero to do with Trump occupying the White House. Maybe the MAGA crowd can hate on me for not casting a dissenting vote but my state of residence supported your cause.

 

[Lindemann]

I don't think any of them feel that they screwed up. Nor will they. Everything is the fault of the libz. The libz made us do it.

I am never again holding my nose and voting "the lesser of two evils." The people who do that ensure we what we have gotten in recent elections.

If I were to guess a lot of folks didn't expect his attack on the market or at a minimum didn't understand what he was saying (tariffs) would mean to the market. I'd also guess there were people that actually believed his "Day One" ridiculousness. And there are of course the people directly or indirectly impacted by the changes (e.g. DOGE) - again, a sign of severe short-sightedness on their part.

That said, I hold my fellow Americans in very low esteem.

You’re part of why we are where we are. Sounds like you believe Kamala would be just as bad as Trump. That’s really poor judgment.

 

[Tom Paris]

So you’re loving what Trump is doing. Hilarious.

 

[TennNole17]

Most people are idiots. Not unique to any country really

Gawt damn- you could misinterpret a stoplight

For the cult members, I agree. That's why I'm curious what HROTers think those out of the cult are feeling after a coupe months.

Posting my question to HORT is probably the fatal flaw. More empty kool-aid glasses around here than Jonestown!

Yes please share why having the best economy in the world, being the leader of the free world, being aligned with century long allies, is equally as bad as the last 2 months. At least a senile old lady is agreeing with you. 🙄

 

[IIowaFarmBoy]

Harris would have been no better. Cardiac arrest v 2 year cancer death. From an abstained.

Put another way do the Harris supporters feel bad about allowing lies about Bidens health and putting Harris forth?

We were screwed either way.

 

[Hawki97]

I don't disagree with that. America. Shit hole countries. No real difference in the number / ratio of idiots.

You're welcome for answering your question btw.

You act like I haven’t read her posts for a decade. Please.

Ok, but not at least trying means you get no voice to bitch about how it turned out. Maybe you are good with that…

Edit: when did you hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils if not 2024? 2016? 2020? How did it turn out? For or against your vote?

So what are you doing to effect change? Is your cynicism or sarcasm making the country or the world a better place? Is denigrating anyone who holds a different opinion helping to heal or unite our society?
Frankly, you come off as a snarky twat.

 

[goldmom]

He’s doing a good bit of what I thought he might do and therefore -again - I don’t regret leaving that part of my ballot blank.
He’s doing a world class imitation of a loose cannon right now which is not a surprise- and the Dems are going through some sort of shakeout right now internally, which also IMO isn’t a bad thing, although some of them might see it as painful.
If they can come out of it before midterms they can keep the 3 Senate seats they have that are opening and maybe win a few more because of Trump’s actions.
Keep the faith. This is America and we’ll find a way. Not sure if it will be good or bad yet.

 

[grayhair81]

Didn't say she would be "as bad" as Trump. She showed me nothing to indicate she would be a competent POTUS. The electorate seems to have agreed with me on that in 2020 and 2024.

 

[goldmom]

Me either.
I was taught that our vote was one of the most important things we have as citizens. If in our opinion there is no candidate worthy of that vote, and if we just give it away to the “lesser of two evils” then it loses its value.
The one we give it to is still “evil”, correct?

Ah. Now who’s name calling? Can you be more civil?

I don't donate time, treasure, or effort to anything on a national stage. It's a complete waste of time and controlled by forces beyond anything I could sway. All of my resources are committed to local and community based efforts that I value. And "healing" and "uniting" our society? Lulz. In today's day and age? Go phuck yourself with that kumbaya shit. No American is interested in that anymore.

To the bolded, thank you. And I mean that.

First, we all have a right to bitch about anything we want to bitch about. Having the right to do so doesn't mean it is beneficial to do so but the right is there. I didn't like the direction of the country any more in 2017-2021 than I did in 2021-2025. And I don't like where we are headed at the moment

I have never seen anything you wrote as showing signs of senility, btw.

Nobody regrets shit btw lol trump is on track to have the best first 100 days of any president, ever.
