"Most Michigan swing voters in our latest Engagious/Sago focus groups said that although they voted for President Trump in November, they have objections, frustrations and fears about his behavior since he returned to power."

I watched that segment, and when those remorseful drumpf voters kept saying they didn't know he would do all this, I kept yelling at the TV, "Then you weren't listening!"
These voters certainly weren't listening to Kamala Harris. She said repeatedly that while Trump wasn't a serious man, he had to be taken seriously. And she warned repeatedly about Project 2025.
Now, all the ugly stuff is happening. Shoulda listened.
Pretty sure Michigan isn’t the only state with disappointed swing voters. The problem with “swing” voters is they don’t bother to do their research and don’t decide until last minute who to vote for — often just going with the flow of family and friends. Basic deplorables.
We are sorry too. And you can’t get your money back.
Michigan swing voters: Maybe if you had spent some time and energy to become a truly informed citizen, which our democracy assumes when you enter the voting booth, you wouldn't be so remorseful. You lazily bought into all the lies and misinformation. Sadly, we all now have to live with your mistake.
FFS 🤯
Fuck those people
They'll still vote Republican in every election for the rest of their lives.
The online panels, conducted Tuesday night, were made up of Michigan voters who backed former President Biden in 2020 but switched to Trump last November. Eight were self-described independents, four were Republicans and one was a Democrat.
And they'll all still vote Republican in every election for the rest of their lives.
And……
All racists
That adds up to 13 complete fools.
I know you in the media can't say mean things about (potential) viewers/clickers, but these people are idiots - almost half of American voters are just idiots...

You're right.

No duh. 🙄
Take responsibility for the way you voted last fall!
dear Michigan swing voters fuck you! go fucking die! you knew what he did last time, he attempted a fucking coup and now you're gonna give him another fucking chance? he
said he was gonna be a dictator this time and you still voted for him? you're too fucking stupid to fucking vote! go fucking die
So swing voters DO have the right to vote to cut their own dicks off.
Too bad they didn't listen to what a lot of high level people from Trump's first term were warning everyone about...
Thanks idiots!! FAFO
Votes have consequences. Also as GWBush so eloquently once said - fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
Dumbshits.
Really tired of America reacting and not acting. Instead of preventative medicine we have to catch the disease. It's fitting many of his voters are antivax
“On the other hand: Only one of the 10 Trump voters-turned-critics said they'd choose Kamala Harris for president if they could do it over”
Well, it's not like you were warned. Oh, that you didn't have an example of living in fear under his previous regime or the fact that he perpetrated a coup on the US in his final days. Or that he committed the worst treason ever of any American by stealing and selling our classified secrets. 1
Or that he's just a really awful person who hates everybody who doesn't sell his soul and kiss his ass. No, it's not like any of those things happened. Give me a fucking break. End
What tipped them off?
This doesn’t make me feel as good as I thought it would

I want to stop these stories though because we can’t redo this. We just need to push ahead. If you regret your vote stop taking polls and go yell at your elected official and help.

I’ll hold the the I told you so because I’m mature
They thought he was lying?
The low info MAGA voters who were ok with the attack on 1/6/21 and the 84 fake electors scheme in 7 states, ignored all of that and figured a 78 year old would suddenly develop a trusted and kind personality in a 2nd regime?
Nope. They wanted everyone else to suffer and figured they were immune

Well.
Too bad those people didn't listen when We Told Them This Was Going To Happen!
But noooo...they accused us of having TDS, and told us his talk was just campaign rhetoric..
Yeah? How's that working out for you people now?!
Comment image
MAGA more like MAFU (Do the math..)
Gee, this was all so unpredictable !
These people have destroyed our country and the entire international order because they live in an alternate reality in which the terrible things Trump promises to do will only happen to people they don't like. They deeply hate their own country, its government, and their fellow citizens.
lol

Thanks so much....FAFO!
Speculation and Hyperbole

THE QUESTION
that needs
to be
asked
EVERYDAY

WHERE WERE THE DOGE BOYS AND STARLINK
11/05/2024
and
WTF were they doing????
But they didn't like her laugh.
🎻🎻🎻🎻
Trump is frightening because he’s mentally unstable and that manifests itself in numerous deranged ways, from ranting, to screaming, to hereby declaring Biden’s pardon as illegal, to taking over the legislature & judiciary& sovereign nations, the Kennedy Ctr, etc. Remove him & his admin from office.
Honestly, can they all please GF themselves? No one wants to hear how wrong they were, what $hitty people they are after the fact. No one.
Watching Trump supporters from MI express regret and fear is really some kind of bull$hit.

They were warned. They called us names They voted for him anyway.

Now they are sorry?
NOW is TOO LATE.
If only there had been warnings about Trump’s erratic, frightening, irrational and dictator tendencies.
Right?! 🤔
Like a big giant plan in writing??
I watched this and just yelled at my TV. I’m so mad at these people. How is it that WE knew what would happen and they didn’t?! I mean he was president before, and it was straight up chaos and crazy town E V E R Y day!!
*

Trump is like the old elderly parent

with dementia

and other family members don’t realize

or want to believe he is not competent

& gradually losing his memory

and mind.

*
Aw they have fwustwations and feaws. Stupid people.
Good because we are in this mess because of them. Hope that they y Truly learned their lesson
Sadly, some people only learn from personal experience. And then there are those that don't learn, even then.
Seppos are dumb cunts.
Yeah, this data is credible.... LOL.
I mean I’m glad they see it now but what in the name of Christ did they expect?!?
All “buyers remorse” will do no good after the damage that occurs over the next few years. Everyone knew how bad he was.
After listening to the responses from the swing voters the question remains where were they getting their information from ? How could they not have heard the infamous “ just vote for me this time and you’ll never have to vote again “
I’m a Michigan voter and was horrified when Trump won the state
Yes and you mean to tell me they didn’t hear the warning of Project 2025?
There were similar focus groups before the 2024 elections. It is surprising that these folks overlooked him trying to overthrow the govt and still found a reason to vote for him. Dems need a better value proposition and a younger candiadate.
And then they went back to fucking their cousins.
What in the hell are these folks watching/thinking? They had no idea of what he was going to do? What or who is poisoning these minds?
Those voters deserve everything that ruins their lives as a result of Trump's actions.

Yep, I said it, meant every word of it and wish them all the worst.

They're responsible for the destruction of this country.
Philadelphia! You might need to pull another Superbowl type of crowd this weekend!

It would suck if so many people went to protest Orange Turd in your turf
Or bring out signs that say "F*ck Trump"
That would just be soooo sad 🤷‍♀️🚨
Comment image
Everybody are depressed hopes something happen to Trump
and Musk!
These fools were warned. Do they all share a brain or something? I saw snippets of the zoom call where they were on camera admitting they made a mistake plus showing their faces. You can’t fix stupid I suppose.
Who could have known that a guy who incited a violent attack on the capitol would do anything to abuse power
There is no way you can convince me that the election was clean in Michigan (or any other swing state). Michigan is blue and something was stinky about this election.
100%
If the majority of media was not controlled online and off by billionaires/techbros that wanted trump elected so they could get even richer, the public might have been better informed.
Too many people get their news on unreliable sites, like facebook, which don't give a damn about democracy.
Well their "buyers' remorse" means they are just learning to read, to follow logic, to connect dots & mayBE turn off the R-wingnut media blaring in their lives. Meanwhile those voters shoved all of us into a Comair stuck on RR tracks.
They provide no cushioning on impact.
Why does the media trivialize the issue by calling it "buyer's remorse?" They didn't all collectively and drunkenly purchase shares of the largest ball of twine on Earth. That's buyer's remorse! What they did was enable autocracy. They should be DEEPLY ashamed.
After watching and hearing their responses I am thoroughly convinced the voters who supported ffousa are just outright stupid.Sorry.
They don't like they he's acting exactly like he acted in the first term?
Of course they do.

He promised lower prices-said he alone would "fix it"!

How's that going?
Comment image
If only there was another option available to them.
Better to say “welcome” rather than “I told you so.”
Ignorant assholes!!!
They knew he was a fat ass, bonespur suffering, idiotic, C-Cup man tits having Nazi before November...and they voted for him anyway. Any shit tubby and Leon does to them is fully deserved.
Then they're just stupid. Were they not paying attention to his behavior the last 9 years? All of a sudden they decided to believe what a politician said?
Surprise! (they were all in comas last time he was in office, right?)
The online panels, conducted Tuesday night, were made up of Michigan voters who backed former President Biden in 2020 but switched to Trump last November. Eight were self-described independents, four were Republicans and one was a Democrat.
Thanks for clarifying that. But I'm still wondering how any of what trump is doing now could surprise anyone who was awake during his first term.
Or the entire campaign.
I agree with you
I believed everything he said
If someone didn't believe it and thought he was joking, why would you vote for the guy that's NOT telling you what he's planning

Bottom line was Harris is a black woman and that is why she lost
Exactly
No sh*t!
This election was an open book test. WTF it’s wrong with these people!
Wow. Wish someone could have warned them before the election.
they can go fuck themselves
I watched this last night on Rachel’s show. I must say I was surprised at all of their reactions. Did they not hear what I heard? He told us over and over what he and his minions planned.
Well DUH! 🙄
Toad ya
I’ve worn out “what were they thinking “

Apparently what they were thinking was that Trump was only going to hurt other people, and not themselves.
Ahhhhhh so exactly how everybody felt before when they were trying to tell you BEFORE THE ELECTION 🙄🙄🙄🙄
if you voted for it shut up
Everybody told you exactly what was going to happen if you have buyers remorse it’s your own fault at this point I’m done and tapped out of empathy
The leopards are feasting.
Again, we told them this would happen. And I'll NEVER forgive those stupid pieces of shit
Fuk them!
FAFO
Great… Such brilliant people.
All in unison now: IDIOTS!
Oh really you have concerns now, but were perfectly fine with all the insane stuff he told you he intended to do?FATWO!
Apparently, these dumbos were clueless about what humpty dumpty promised he would do on day one
That's why we have a moron in the White house.
The only reason they’re regretting their vote is because they’re being negatively affected by Trump and his shitstain administration. If it was just happening to non-MAGAts, they’d be thrilled.
#FAFO
I hope the same is happening in Wisconsin. WI STATE SUPREME COURT VOTE coming up -- DO NOT let MAGAts get on that bench!
Elect a criminal, get crime. 🤷‍♀️ Elect idiots, get idiocy.
Wait until he comes through on the no more voting comment from a few months ago.
They sure didn't tune into his stump speeches, then. He has been becoming way more erratic for a few years now.
Maybe before you vote you actually look at their promises and make choices accordingly
They deserve to suffer with the consequences of their stupid choices.
I hope that these voters will now rise up with the rest of us in rebuking & rejecting this treacherous administration. We can remove dangerous obstacles in our path, IT IS OUR RIGHT. The courts best stand firm if they don’t want a real revolution. J6 would be nothing compared 2 what is possible.
We know why most of them voted for the maga tyrant this time around after all the shit he’s put this country through they were willing to vote in the madman. Fear. Deep down race based fear. This 3rd time spoke even more volumes than the first two.
They should feel exactly that way bc the rest of us R FEELING THAT WAY 2 & that’s a confirmation that none of us who feel that way r crazy or over exaggerating.The shit is getting deeper & we need 2 dig ourselves out b4 these tyrants completely isolate us by making enemies out of our allies.
No one will be eager to rescue us. Trump and his cabinet need to resign or be removed. This is not hyperbole. We’ve been seeing the real danger while maga world was slandering decent leaders over dumb shit, their leaders were undermining our democracy, our constitution and our diversity. 😡
Where were they on his first term
I don’t much care what they have to say. They voted for all of it.
THERE ARE NO SWING STATES IN A LANDSLIDE 😆
To quote them a few months ago "Fuck your feelings"

I have no patience for this nincompoops.

You made your bed by voting for the guy who said he'd shit in your bed, you get to sleep in it.
Does that mean they would not vote for him today and going forward? maybe he'll learn his lesson
These people have put us in a world of pain never imagine in American history, we are at the abyss. Frustration?! They knew exactly who he was. They just wanted him to inflict their pain on the other. What they’re finding out is, when you elect an arsonist, he tends to commit arson.
Hey Michigan Trump voters!!!!
He doesn’t care about your fears and frustrations. He’s already gotten your votes. He doesn’t needs you anymore. He doesn’t need the Republican party either. He’s either going to leave at the end of his term with a shit load of money or America’s first dictator.
Either way this is on you, and voters just like you.
Shock Face 😳
Shorter: Michigan swing voters have poor judgment and analytical skills.
They were idiots to vote for him, case closed!
Are Michigan citizenry happy with the 🍊🤡tariffs on their close neighbour? Michiganders will not be happy when nobody from Ontario visits any part of Michigan to spend the millions of dollars we have until now. Revenues and jobs are at stake and Michiganders only have the 🍊🤡to blame.
Misleading headline. All these idiots still support Trump.
Oh.
A lot of Arab voters, most of whom had been reliable dems, voted for Trump because of the Palestinian tragedy in Gaza. Trump made promises right up to the day before the election.
Their hopes for peace now lie in ruins. They were foolish to believe a known liar and con artist.
Please, someone tells these Idiots that this is their fault. They caused this Mayhem.
“Objections and frustrations” It sounds like Michigan is full of Susan Collins clones
FILIAL LAW post about impact in 30 states of Medicaid cuts
Are they still Uncommitted?
We tried to warn them.
They deserve what they get. Unfortunately I have to get it as well 🤨
Do they now???

Why are they complaining, they won
This makes me sick
I have no sympathy whatsoever for them. They voted for this.
No one gave a fuck about the Germans who 'frustrations and fears' when they firebombed Dresden.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing...
Hope they are scared shitless
Fools.
Boy, too bad there were no clues at all that this would happen before these dumbasses voted.
Does it really matter if there are no more elections?
But they knew he was a racist, misogynist, and liar. And they knew he loved Putin and Musk and fascism. So they voted for him. Ignorance ain't bliss.
HOW...did they not know? I mean he literally said he was going to do everything he is doing!!!! Jfc people, pull your heads out!
He told us what he would do. It was all outlined in Project 2025. He said he wanted to be an authoritarian on day one. He said we would only have to vote one more time. All of this, and still they voted for a convicted felon. I have zero sympathy for these people. Zero.
How that workin' for you now?
They were all warned
I suggest none of these folks should ever enter a Spot The Lying Narcissist competition - because they're really bad at it!
Good.
No kidding. Michigan you can do better.
Better late than never
Shock face 😲😲😲😲😲😲
And those of us in Michigan who voted for Harris are working hard to make sure the Michigan legislature doesn't get an inch! We're going to turn this around, quickly!
buyer's remorse...well, they are going to pay dearly for this mistaken purchase....
Not that he demonstrated any of that his first time around. Collective amnesia?

Interesting paraphrasing of Dickens.
The fact that they didn’t have any objections, frustrations, or fears about his behavior prior to the election shows they either never paid attention or didn’t think it would affect them. Either way, it says something about their character.
They should not be the least bit surprised: accomplished liar, convicted of sexual assault, believes in grabbing women, pouts like a 3rd grader, king of revenge, accomplished at bankruptcy…. Did they think he would turn in to Mother Teresa once elected? They should have researched their choice.
Willful ignorance bah on their hurt feelings!!
These people make me sick! trump told the country exactly what he was going to do if elected. These idiot people chose not to listen. Can’t stand any of them.
We don't really care what they think.

Stop reporting on them. That makes them think they're important.
Hello to those regretful MAGA voters, and welcome to FAFO land! I could have sworn a bunch of folks did warn about this.
Maybe now they understand the duplicitous qualities of real estate developers and felons.
But would still vote Trump in morning if they had too.
If only there had been things to show what he was really like.
Alot of good that is doing now. Should have quit watching Fox after they paid an 875 million dollar settlement for lying 5 years ago.
As Putin would say, “Tough Shitsky”!!! Oh, and FAFO…..
#MAGAarestupid
Puzzling to me that Trump voters were unable to detect his aberrant behavior BEFORE they voted for him. It was so damn obvious that he had mental and emotional problems.
I may be petty, but I really wish there was a way to limit the damage he's doing to just these voters.
They are full of it, if you voted for Rump you are a hateful person they knew what they were doing. Not buying it.
If only there was some indication that he was an illiterate, selfish, dishonest, senile, diabolical, incompetent, incontinent carnival barker, they might have found the other candidate the wiser choice.
It's a little to late for regrets, isn't it?
They were warned
I’m glad they are being made miserable by their own selections. They truly deserve it.
Yeah they finally realized how much Trump lied to them.
no way omgosh they should tell someone who gives a damn about them
No sh!t Sherlock.

What the sh!t did you expect?
He’s always been dangerous. Fuck these buyers remorse idiots.
Tough.
How are all the Americans gonna feel about switching flag 🇷🇺 arrangement and becoming commies?!?! #putinplan
Comment image
I really don’t care or feel bad for them. It’s like they wanted to save a couple of bucks and bought something off of Temu and then got mad when it’s complete garbage. You knew what you were getting into.
So by definition they're stupid.
More of that American Exceptionalism the world has heard so much about for so long…
Elections have consequences
If only someone had told them that might be the case ahead of time, we could've avoided this whole mess
No offense meant to you, but I'm sick of hearing what Trump voters feel, or think, or regret. Every last one of them needs to issue a public apology and then shut up until 2026 when they can correct their error by voting a straight Democratic ticket.
If only someone had warned them…
They were warned and didn't listen, because they preferred the horrible white man of the competent Black woman.

They weren't snookered; they're racist.
I wouldn’t say they are all racists. I think people had a warped view that Trump had a good economy during his first presidency. Not understanding there were people and dems correcting and preventing his worst instincts. Those folks aren’t there now and they are getting the “real” Trump.
So they are just stupid
I don’t think most people pay that much attention to politics and all the underlying mechanics going on. They know how it’s impacting them and who they want to blame or praise for it. It doesn’t help the Dems have a horrible messaging strategy.
I don't like infantilizing voters. These folks are citizens, same as me. They can choose to pay attention or not, and exercise their powers of analysis and comprehension, or not. They looked at Trump and thought "gee, how bad could it be?" That turned out to not be a great decision.
Certainly, it isnt just ONE thing. And, people are learning that ONLY paying attention to how something is affecting them personally now, isnt a good long term strategy
Perhaps but a disconcerting number of the focus group video they shared were people of color.
Or sexist. How many were Muslim men just more on the fundamentalist leaning?
I watched the interview. It was a mixture of women and POC. I couldn't believe this mix of people all elected trump.
over* the competent...
I’m sending them my thoughts and prayers.
Duh!
What part of “he’s ripping the country apart just like he promised” is difficult for you to understand. I’m sorry for your frustration but, how should I put this, go fuck yourself asshole. You voted for the tyrant.
Fucking morons 😡
I was really disappointed
In my state that day. What it looked like visually at the polls did not reflect the result, unfortunately.
That was because they cheated. The evidence is becoming rather clear. Just look at the number for president only, and you realize the numbers are made up.
I was trying to avoid that, but I do have my suspicions. I did some knocking and people were EXCITED for Harris. I don't know how it could be proven now without some anonymous op or something.
I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but I suspect they cheated too. I still can’t grasp how Americas would willingly elect a criminal as their head of state.
Thar right there is how they got away with it. Democrats didn't want to look like MAGA did after Trumps big lie. They really should have done hand recounts. It would have shown the decrepancies.
The lack of any sort of spine seriously angered me. The DCCC needs a shake up.
We need new leadership. Stat!
What can I say, many of my fellow Michiganders are idiots. But primarily they’re racists, with sprinkles of misogyny for added flavor.
Jaguars getting obese.

But I'm not holding my breath: they're dumb enough to vote for him again, even if he rips their kids out of their arms.
They’ll suck that orange Ahole until his dieing day, even as he pulls the plug on their dieing parents
#IdiotsRUs
Alternative reading....They are upset he is doing what he said he would do, now that it might impact them. Leopards.....faces....etc.
They were warned, repeatedly. How is those of us who voted for Harris/Waltz knew the shape of things to come and they didn’t? Doesn’t speak highly of their critical thinking skills.
we warned demicrats and they told us. ';shut up you stupid hippiem killing innocent hamas is the law and you look like hamas to me' Now we havent killed a single person. WHy the hell are they noit thanking us for that?
I'm glad Michigan swing voters who supported 47 are willing to express their buyer's remorse. Their Midwestern experience is on the verge of being completely upended. Buckle up folks, willful ignorance is about to actually hurt or maybe kill people you claim to care about.

#FAFO
Stupid people doing stupid things 🤷🏻‍♂️
Too fucking late
They are the kind of people who would rebook the Titanic.
I wish swing voters would have “actually” looked and listened to what was coming out of Trump’s mouth. Unfortunately, they drank the koolaid and here we are.😖
Soooooo tired of the deep dives on these ignorant fools...
