Recent polling data reveals a growing number of voters who supported Donald Trump in the previous election are expressing disappointment with his conduct in office. These disillusioned voters, including a self-described Libertarian from Pennsylvania, cite specific policy decisions such as the expiration of funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and expansive spending measures as reasons for their dissatisfaction. Focus groups composed of Latino voters also expressed concerns regarding the President’s handling of both the economy and immigration policies. The perceived betrayal of campaign promises and shifting priorities have led to widespread voter remorse.

Bitter Trump voter says he’s been ‘completely swindled’ by the President’s ‘betrayal.’ Well, here we are again, staring at the fallout. It’s almost predictable, isn’t it? Another individual, formerly a staunch supporter, now expressing a deep sense of disappointment and, frankly, betrayal. The narrative is familiar – promises made, trust given, and now, a feeling of being duped. But honestly, who’s surprised? It’s like being shocked when a con artist, well, cons.
It’s the latest case of outrage from a growing number of disillusioned voters who now regret backing MAGA at last year’s polls. The sentiment expressed is a stark reminder of the consequences of political choices. One might even argue that the only real surprise is that it took so long for some of these voters to see the writing on the wall. They’re acting like they’re the victims, but in reality, they made their bed, and now they have to lie in it. And let’s be clear, many of us tried to warn them. The warning signs were everywhere.
So the story is, he just wouldn’t vote if the election were held today. It’s a classic case of self-interest triumphing over principle. This wasn’t about the welfare of others, or even the nation. It was about personal grievances. He was okay with others being hurt, he just didn’t want to be the one being swindled. The whole situation highlights a fundamental disconnect – a willingness to support policies that harm others, as long as they themselves are not directly affected.
“After Being Conned by Known Conman, Kooky Voter Vows to Stay Kooky.” This is the crux of the issue. The man voted for a conman who said he’d do exactly what he did. It’s not a betrayal if someone delivers exactly what they promised, no matter how damaging those promises were. We tried to warn these people, but they willfully chose not to listen. So, really, enjoy the consequences of your choice. It’s a bit like buying a car from a used car salesman and then being surprised when it breaks down, isn’t it?
Trump has done exactly what those who voted against him said he would do. There’s no surprise here. There was 75 years of Trump’s behavioral history to look at. He said exactly what he would do, and he has shown himself wholly against this country and its citizens during his first term. This isn’t some unforeseen twist; it’s the inevitable outcome of a choice made with eyes wide open.
No sympathy because we are all feeling it. Every individual Trump voter is complicit in these crimes. The sense of collective responsibility is strong. It’s difficult to feel sorry for those who actively supported policies and actions that have caused widespread harm. If you made the choice, you share in the burden.
Forgiveness can happen, but they have to ask for it, uncoerced, and apologize to everyone they know for it. Mercy is for the guilty, not the innocent. Trump voters, you must ask for mercy, not sympathy, because you made this bed and you don’t get out unless we let you.
He knowingly voted for a serial rapist, and child rape trafficker, but he was ok with that. He knowingly voted for a 34-time convicted fraud, who also runs a literal convicted criminal organization, but he was ok with that. He knowingly voted for the only president in almost 100 year to lose jobs, but he was ok with that. He knowingly voted for the highest deficit spender in US history, but he was ok with that. He regrets that he finally feels a fraction of the pain he inflicted with his vote.
“They’re mad he’s not hurting the right people” The implication is that the regret stems not from the policies themselves, but from who is being affected by them. It’s a disturbing insight into the core values of some of these voters. The people who were hurt by Trump’s policies, not them. At this rate Republicans will never be trusted to hold office again If only these idiots had realized the first fucking time around… seriously, I’m glad they’re finally waking up to his bullshit, but why has it taken so fucking long Huh, DUH?
Had you disillusioned Trump Voters actually listened to EVERYTHING he was saying and not just “lower cost of living” you could have seen this coming years away. The failure to listen, to truly understand the implications of the promises made, is at the heart of the issue. This isn’t a case of being blind-sided; it’s a case of selective hearing.
You can cry about your vote and be all sad but in the end you Trump voters did this as well as you that didn’t bother to vote. We’re not supposed to feel sorry for these people. The point is, you reap what you sow. If you elect a person who is going to harm people and do the wrong thing you have to bear the consequences. Great job you guys did. You should be proud for electing a Felon and Sex Offender into the White House, AGAIN. Dipshits failed an open book test.
They voted for racism and got poverty instead. Eat shit, rubes. 🤷♂️ Your regular reminder: these people voted for him a third time after he implored his supporters to violently attack our country’s institutions. They chose this. After he encouraged death threats against his Vice President.
“I don’t care about you; I just want your vote!” He told us his plan. They just didn’t listen. The narrative is clear: they were warned, but they chose to ignore the warnings. Now, they’re surprised?
Note that in a lot of cases they do not regret being *conservatives*, the only regret is that by *their* standards the wrong people are being hurt by conservative policies. The fact that the voter might *still* vote Republican shows the lack of awareness. They will *still* vote Republican, just maybe not for a MAGA die-hard.
Story about Trump? Put it behind a paywall! This is an important detail: the information was out there, but you had to pay to access it. There was no swindling. There was an entire report available for public consumption explaining exactly what was going to happen during this term. They missed one warm meal. Yeah sure okay Too bad no one warned them or offered a better alternative/s.
He said he loves the dumb ones… What was it they always like to say? Oh yeah FAFO. Vote better next time 🤷🏻♀️ He’ll be sorry until the next election, when he votes for the GOP and doesn’t learn his lesson. What an idiot Yea. Well. Anyone who voted for this child raping felon owns all of this. For all of their lives.
This is Trump 2.0. Which, means there was a 1.0. So the “we didn’t know how bad it could get” argument holds as much water as a colander. This isn’t the first rodeo; there were warnings, and there were examples. To claim ignorance now is simply disingenuous.
Having the day they voted for Fascist tears are the bestest tears. They say that until they hear the whistle. The sentiment is a mix of schadenfreude and a certain weariness. This ends when his supporters bring the heat. You weren’t betrayed. You got exactly what you voted for. I think as satisfying as it might feel, “I told you so” doesn’t help fix America.
The final sentiment: They tried to warn them. The narrative reinforces the sense that these voters, and the wider electorate, have a lot of soul-searching to do. It’s time to move past the finger-pointing and focus on building a better future.
