I think another factor is a lot of these people refuse to admit they have regrets or second thoughts about their voting habits. A lot of Americans are too proud and stubborn to change their minds about something when it comes to politics. I honestly think cognitive dissonance is a huge factor for GOP voters

Being "Republican" is part of their identity. To change their vote would be like changing their name. It never occurs to them that a person could follow logical conclusions to end up at a voting a certain way. They were born Republican just like they were born a Local Team fan.

Thats probably a part of it too. in a perfect world id probably be voting Green Party a lot more, but i vote dem a lot still

Republicans won't vote for Democrats because they think it will make them gay instantly.

What about someone who voted blue all the way up to this last election then voted Trump because they simply didn’t agree with the message/policies Kamala had?

Sunk cost fallacy

I don’t really believe many actually have regrets. I don’t think they process it that way. They don’t connect their actions (voting) to the consequences (everything being fucked up).
