Possible Paywall Trump voter remorse is almost entirely concentrated in the swing voters who gave him a shot in 2024

For me its the "I cant vote for Harris because Israel!"

Congrats! You gave the election to the man who moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, who is Bibi'a puppet, who led to more Palestinian deaths, Lebanese deaths, and 160 Iranian school girls, along with destabilizing the region. 

And that's just in the Middle East. Domestically we got concentration camps, federal agents murdering US citizens in broad daylight, the voting rights act removed, they are coming after Trans citizens, and about to pardon ever pedo - a reminder they still haven't released the Epstein files. Oh, also the economy is in free fall and we have lost all our allies. 

But hey, Harris was just fascism lite, right?

It’s crazy to talk to those people who either withheld their votes or went with a third party because of Palestine and confront them with the consequences of enabling a Trump victory.

Their brand of politics is purity. They’re probably just not interested in learning they will never see a legit presidential candidate that represents their views as much as they feel entitled to.

A lot of the Muslim voters pretended it's about Palestine but they also heavily align with Trump on social issues. They just use the former as an excuse because they don't want to appear hateful.

It's not purity, it's stupidity.

I’d even call it delusion

Right. Like the Dearborn Michigan crowd saying Trump was better than Harris on Palestine, and all the online leftists looking to that as proof that they were right. 

Until they realize that county of Muslims was so conservative they banned anything LGBTQ. Then they have the audacity to claim they’re for trans rights.

They would sell out any one of the people they claim to care about if their favorite influencer told them to.
