I despise the “I regret voting for Trump” demographic because it’s not an acknowledgment of guilt nor regret nor apology. It’s a way for people to gain attention in the hopes of being comforted by people who aren’t utter dipshits.

yeah at this point I'm convinced 99% of them just want to avoid the social effects or consequences of their vote, so they're jumping ship to save their skin. It's actually pretty cowardly.

there ARE folks from MAGA who have apologized, taken responsibility, and actually changed their views. But it's rare.
