Any evidence of Trump voters having second thoughts?

[LAS14]

[Rustyeye77]

1. Who said they ever had a FIRST thought?

[irisblue]

31. true this

[arthritisR_US]

72. Fecking astute question! nt

[jknudsen]

77. Love It

[Orsino]

2. AreYouSorryYet.com is full of them.

All anecdotal, but some common threads.

[manicraven]

30. What a site!

If these posts are just a fraction of how people are feeling after just a few days, maybe the pendulum will swing dramatically towards the Dems in 2018?

[manicraven]

33. The Trump voters obviously weren't paying attention during the campaign.

Trump clearly stated he was getting rid of Obamacare. They also don't really understand the goals/agenda of the GOP, which is his party. It was pretty clearly stated. I think they were hearing only what they wanted to hear and discarding the rest... Also, there seems to be real embarrassment over his Tweets. I guess they thought it was all for show before and didn't fully understand the guy is a true thin-skinned narcissist, and they can't change. And, obviously, many bought into "crooked Hillary" and didn't actually do even the tiniest bit of research.

[Generic Other]

66. Totally sad

They should be ashamed to admit they were such fools.

[AJT]

3. Nope

My stepdaughter posted a picture of her wearing her pussy hat and her Trumpette mom responded by telling her she's asking to get hit by a car ot truck if she wears it out in public.

[narnian60]

6. Damn.

[mikeysnot]

4. Not in my family

They are like walking around like they WON something. I asked them what they "won"?

"He one* Michael Get over it?"

No fucking point.













* Spelling like they think.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

15. What did they win?

A President who isn't black or female or Democrat who will bash liberals (maybe even bash liberal heads in), prevent (certain) Muslims (and Mexicans) from entering the country, reshape SCOTUS, and generally fulfill every Republican wet dream imaginable that President Obama opposed and prevented them from enacting during the past 8 years.

[Blue_true]

18. A one way ticket to hell.. Unfortunately, they take us with them. nt

[Proud Liberal Dem]

21. Yup

Always room for a few million more.

[mikeysnot]

19. When republicans win...

we all lose.

[ebbie15644]

23. Same here

I'm in DAILY arguments with my father and I haven't talked to my sister since about August

[mikeysnot]

29. I refer to him as resident asshole

my parents avoid conversations on asshole. I just give them shit the whole time.

[ebbie15644]

41. It's exhausting

I skipped Thanksgiving this year and Christmas was very stressful. At this rate, I'll soon be having heart problems

[mikeysnot]

51. Don't be sad, get pissed and give them shit

put them on the defensive.

For instance..

Remember when Obama was an out of control imperial president and dictator when he was doing all those executive orders? Do you now consider asshole an "out of control imperial president and dictator", no, why not?

Do you remember your outrage about Benghazi and we had all those investigations and spent all that money doing so so that they can smear Hillary?

Do you think Jason Asshole Shitface should begin investigation the botched Yemen raid where a Navy Seal was killed?

I'm trying to have fun with it but the blitzkrieg of Fascism that is happening so fast is hard to swallow.

I hear you on the stress, my booze bill has been through the roof lately.

[ebbie15644]

58. I do fight back most times but sometimes, I just need to take a nap

[phylny]

62. I am now taking blood pressure medicine. No joke. Be well :) nt

[manicraven]

35. When they say, "Get over it," I reply with, "I Don't get over fascism in the White House."

[Squinch]

53. Are they likely to be affected by the FHA mortgage insurance premium? Or are they union

members? Or do they know that Bannon promised a war with China last summer? Rub their faces in the things that are happening that they will be affected by. Trump is going to screw his supporters first.

[Jim Beard]

73. I have been wondering about Union Members for some time.......

I really wonder what percentage of Union Members vote Democratic? I remember them leaving the Democrats during the Reagan revolution, so to speak.

[Squinch]

80. I'm a union member. Most of the people I know in the union did vote for Hillary, but there is a

sizable minority that didn't. It's really difficult to believe what morons they are. It didn't take two weeks for the proposal to be floated to institute a national right to work law. That will turn union work into minimum wage work, and all our pensions are now in jeopardy.

[Jim Beard]

81. I think Unions are good. You guys are the ones that make the sacrafice.....

for the rest of us.

[uponit7771]

5. Most of the Sane ones are acting like they didn't vote for him or trying to look for info that they

... were right to think what they thought but find few areas not dominated by fake news to confirm their thoughts.

the insane ones don't give a damn

[meadowlark5]

20. I think that too. The ones that may have decided in the last week or two to vote for him

before the election, will simply not admit they voted for him. The true Trump supporters will never, ever, ever be disappointed in him until Fox news or Rush Limbaugh tells them they should be.

[crazycatlady]

7. The Trump voters in my family

care more about how the White House is decorated than who lives in it.

[SamKnause]

8. They are not capable of thought or they would never have voted for Trump.

The Trump voters in my family are still gung ho.

I have cut all ties with them.

[blue sky at night]

9. I think yes...

Guy in town took down his hideous fifty foot long (you know who) sign....we figured it was up for the duration.

[kentuck]

10. Give 'em a few more weeks.

Rome wasn't destroyed in a week.

[EllieBC]

11. Not on my FB feed.

Instead it's all, "the media lies" and "BUT BUT OBAMA DID...".

[Blanks]

55. It's interesting...

They talk about how Trump is gonna 'drain the swamp' and 'ban muslims' and then when he signs an executive order banning muslims and they brag about it, get busted on the unconstitutionality of it, turn around and say they didn't ban muslims and they claim that Obama did the same thing.

Yeah, that's really shaking things up, doing the same thing Obama did.

Can't have it both ways.

[treestar]

60. They continue to claim Obama banned Muslims

and I come back with - oh so you are giving the credit to Obama (for what they think is a good thing) and also why would Obama do that when he was a Muslim himself?

[Mr. Ected]

12. I'm the only blue in a sea of red

And all of them I know are thrilled that he's draining the swamp and fulfilling his promises. They pay no attention to reality, and apparently never have.

[ananda]

13. Not in my little world.

I have a friend who voted for Trump.

Whenever anyone asks her why, she says
she won't talk about it.

Her kids voted for Clinton, and she won't
even talk about it with them.

[haele]

14. The die-hard Dumf'instan voters who are all butt-hurt over "political correctness" don't care

They are perfectly willing to throw away their rights, their kid's futures, their environment, the Constitution, etc so long as they can see their enemies crushed before they get thrown into a living hell.
Their enemies are liberals and elitists - anyone they think looks down on them for being a bit slow to accept diversity or that they would rather avoid anything that isn't like them or the way things have always been done around them.
They live in a small world, and they want to stay in that small world where the only access to anything outside is via the TV, the Radio, or a Computer - all of which they can turn off or change the channel on whenever they feel threatened or criticized. They violently resent anyone that reminds them of the real world outside their preferred existence. So who cares if they're going to pay significantly more for food and comfort, lose their health care, or whatever jobs are left to them. They're going to Heaven if something bad happens, anyway.
But with Trump, Bannon, Pence, and Corporate ownership, they'll be able to see those Liberals, the scary immigrants and minorities, and the educated Elites get theirs for being so uppity and Ungodly first!

Haele

[geek tragedy]

16. No, Trump voters are generally not very smart and tend to be backwards

in their thinking.

It will take a while for them to realize what idiots they were.

[Chiquitita]

17. One young friend of mine has been cut off

from her well off Trump voting parents. Wanted to control her, make her say she supported him and break up with her non-white partner, she refused so they cut off all financial support midway through her college career. She's in crisis. They are willing to sacrifice their children's happiness, health, and futures.

[mikeysnot]

27. My dad did the same thing to me when I criticized Raygun

in 1984. I took out loans and payed for it myself, he finally came around again in 1987.

[manicraven]

36. That's brutal!

[manicraven]

37. Can you start a Go-Fund-Me page? I'll donate what I can!

[Chiquitita]

38. I asked her

to start one and she's too discreet -- didn't want to explain publicly. She already got two jobs and is figuring out how to balance it all.

[manicraven]

46. Oh, okay. Sorry this happened to her.

[mnhtnbb]

63. This is typical behavior of controlling, money-focused parents.

My husband is a psychiatrist/psychoanalyst who has been in practice for 40 some years. Over those years, he's
treated a number of people whose issues/problems are quite similar. Letting go of parents who use financial
means to control their kids is not an easy thing to do.

So, your young friend is not alone. If she can find the time it could be very helpful for her to find a therapist who can
help her now--rather than waiting 10 or 15 years for the emotional wounds to fester--to deal with having such a$$hole
parents.

[yardwork]

70. That happened to a friend of mine in college.

It was a bad shock at first. She had to work as a checkout clerk and get financial aid. She did really well in school and got a good job. In the end it was liberating to be free of her controlling father.

[doc03]

22. Not that I have seen nt

[Charles Bukowski]

24. These seem to be doubling down on proclaiming his

greatness. I doubt the sincerity of it however. It rings hollow.

[TrekLuver]

25. Not yet...it's way too soon. I asked my Trashpot loving co worker at what point will you admit

he's a supreme asshole and he conceded "oh I know he's an asshole"...so I said OK when will you admit that things are bad....so it's not yet..not yet...but remember it's only 2 weeks even though it feels like 2 years.

One way I know when my co worker is unhappy with Trashpot is he gets all testy when I'm bringing up the days events...he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. We were talking about Trashbag's BOTCHED Yemen mission and I told him to not listen to what I said but to go read what Reuters wrote. He quietly read said nothing.

[CountAllVotes]

26. Who knows?

Have not heard from any of the fools that voted for this POS since the sElection of tRump.

Buyer's remorse? Who gives a damn!

[pbmus]

28. Trumpets get their entertainment from fox so they are fed a continuous

line of bullshit...they are actually silly with glee...

[tavernier]

32. They think what fox tells them to think.

And fox has to love what it created.

[OnionPatch]

34. I doubt many will change their minds.

They are conditioned to accept all right wing propaganda.

Honestly they are mostly just plain old Republicans. There may be a few rustbelt voters who were more independent types but they probably won't regret their vote until they see that coal is not coming back. Remember, Trump won with a minority and a lot of cheating.

We need to concentrate on getting our own to the polls and come up with strategies to work through voter restrictions, etc. For example, Pennsylvania has a Democratic governor and a Democratic SOS. Now is the time to push them to get rid of electronic voting machines or at least have a paper trail.

[agenasolva]

39. Trump is going back on every single one of his promises. He conned them.

[mitch96]

40. On some conservative web sites I monitor

If there is even a "wiff" of tRump regret you get hammered.. Usually by the known alt-R types...
uffda..

[Willie Pep]

42. The Trump supporters I know are all happy with him.

The middle-class/working-class Trump supporters I know really think that he is going to bring back good manufacturing jobs.The affluent Trump supporters I know are looking forward to those sweet, sweet tax cuts. The Muslims ban seems to be very popular with most of them.

[LAS14]

43. You poor person. Where do you live that you know so many Trump supporters???

[Willie Pep]

48. I don't want to be too specific but I am in an area that is sort of "purple."

I might actually know more Republicans because my family is very pro-GOP but most of my friends are Democrats although I am sad to report that a number of my liberal friends sat out this election or voted Green because they hated Hillary Clinton because they felt she was too right-wing and in bed with Wall Street.

I am "lucky" in that I know both working-class and affluent Republicans so I see how they tend to think differently. The affluent Trump supporters I know were not in favor of him during the primary. They wanted a more traditional Republican but eventually they jumped on the Trump train during the general election primarily due to the tax issue it seems. The working-class Republicans I know liked Trump's immigration and trade stances a lot. Another factor I think is religion. The Catholics I know are split 50/50 Democrats and Republicans. All of the Protestants I know are Republicans. My Jewish friends are all very liberal, solid Democrats.

[LAS14]

50. Interesting! Thanks.

[flygal]

65. Are we neighbors?? lol

I could have written this post. Except my immediate family is all Democrat but aunts, uncles, every one of my cousins are republicans.

[Willie Pep]

71. I have one aunt who is a Democrat.

She never says anything during family gatherings to avoid causing a big fight. The only time she got involved in a political discussion was when my grandmother claimed that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a drunk! My aunt couldn't take it and made some comments back.

[maxrandb]

44. Not the true believers

They're too fucking far gone. He could piss on the Queen of England and they say; "he's just 'a-doin' what he said he'd be a-doin"

[jmg257]

45. None around here yet. They seem to be getting what they wanted.

[ElkeH]

47. None that I know

They are still not tired of "winning" they say

[LanternWaste]

49. Early days. Consequences of his incompetence will take time

Early days. Consequences of his incompetence will take time to become apparent.

[Warpy]

52. Not that they'd ever admit to any of us

but approval polls will speak for themselves as time goes on.

[HassleCat]

54. Not yet. They're still saying he will fix the problems.

You know. The problems. He will end the war, curb runaway inflation, reverse the stock market decline, etc. Even the registered Democrats who voted for him are saying he will rebuild our nation from the smoking ruins left by Obama.

[ecstatic]

56. I've been browsing the twitter feed of "Trump Regrets"

and it's been a fascinating read. So far, Trump's hemorrhaging his voters from unions (National Right To Work bills), muslims or anyone affected by the ban, and people turned off by his behavior over the past weekend (Australia/Mexico), or disgusted by his obsession with the Apprentice.

https://twitter.com/Trump_Regrets

[LAS14]

64. Technical question from a Twitter idiot.

Why do all the tweets say "retweeted" at the top?

BTW - Thanks for your post. Fascinating.

[ecstatic]

68. Retweet is when one user (re)posts another user's tweet without adding additional comment

Saves time and gets the message out.

In the case of Trump Regrets, they repost/retweet tweets from people turning on trump.

[C_U_L8R]

57. I just hear a great big sucking sound.

Maybe I can get an echo.
Hellooooo in there, anybody hoooooooome?

Nope, seems to be a vacuum.

[Hamlette]

59. I have a reliable source on one

Husband of the woman I work with rants every day about what an idiot Trump is. She said he would probably support the Muslim ban but he is embarrassed and pissed by his behavior over all. Yup, he voted for him.

[moondust]

61. He's their king.

He's going to make them all very, very rich just like him. He knows how to do it. Just give him time, dammit!

[Jhall5]

67. Most won't admit it

But I do have one friend who is thinking twice

[Quixote1818]

74. I have noticed they are reluctant to speak their minds on Facebook now

Two weeks ago they were much more forceful. Think some are starting to wonder what the fuck is going on.

[shrike]

69. Not the ones I know. The a-bombs will be flying overhead and they'll be singing, "Dear Leader."

[JI7]

75. nope, they are happy with the Muslim Ban and holocaust denial and all the other shit

[mvd]

76. Hope so. I can't answer from experience

I have not spoken to the ones I know of.

[LeftInTX]

78. My husband

Now my husband is a one issue voter, sort of. He's anti-abortion and want anti-abortion judges on the SC.But he doesn't vote for Republicans in Texas becuz they're all batshit crazy. (Even though Repugs in TX are super anti-abortion) With the exception of the abortion issue, he is a moderate Dem.

We got in a big fight after he voted for Trump. I was like how can you vote for that "p#$$y grabber".

Now he admits that Trump wants to turn the USA into Texas - and he regrets his vote.

He says he won't vote for him in 2020.

As an aside, he says if Hillary would have picked Julian Castro as her running mate, he would voted for her.

[rainbow4321]

79. Nope....

But stuff he has done so far has not effected them directly yet....but I doubt even when stuff does begin to like higher gas/food, etc prices they will STILL try to blame Pres Obama.

I have one friend on there that posted a graph of basically "remember these pre-election numbers" and it had everything from gas prices to food to stock market stats...so it can be used once everything goes to hell under drumf. But we all know how well drumf followers do with stats/numbers...what's up is down and what's down is up so they will still stay in denial.
