Listen to why this “MAGA junkie”—and others—regret voting for Trump after losing their jobs to DOGE cuts. It’s always the same: they expected better for themselves, not the rest of us. They were warned.

As a country, we would be so much better off if the majority cared enough about each other to vote with someone else’s best interests in mind—for the greater good. Too much to ask?
Unfortunately it is too much to ask. Most care for themselves and vote with their own interests in mind only. The funny thing is that a lot of them don’t really know what their interests are
I'm thinking if you were stupid enough to vote for the felon, despite many warnings, then maybe you needed to be fired. It's obvious to me that they have poor decision making skills. Who votes for a convicted felon, failed businessman, liar, adulterer & con man for the highest office in the country?
I know I should have some empathy, but it's hard to. The MAGAs that are regretting their votes are only doing so because THEY were in the path of the destruction. What most MAGAs don't realize is that we are all in this situation together. This administration doesn't care about ANYONE.
The majority? More people didn't vote - 36% - than voted for trump - 32%. What we need is a Country where the apathetic third cared enough to educate themselves & vote Some would vote R, some D, but whoever they voted for *would* receive a majority
I blame that 36% for the mess we are in
“Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis, the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers.” — Chuck Schumer. (Nah, JK, that’s from Black Panther)
Exactly! This is what gets me every time. 😡🤬😡🤬 They were ok with the p*ssy-grabbing, incompetence, constant lies, grifting, racism, with him mocking a disabled person, openly belittling vets, & so much more, for nearly 10 years. But if it affects them, wooh hooh, no way! They disgust me.
And yet, as the ones I know wake up, I will work HARD to not just scream at them. We need them, even though I will know forever what empathy-deficient, selfish, dangerous & weak adults they are.
To expect the majority to vote with someone else’s best interests in mind is an unrealistic idea.
What they have failed, though, is to vote with *their own* best interests in mind 😕
We would. And no, not too much to ask. Every Dem I've ever met votes with the interests of others in the forefront. They don't ignore their own interests, but balance the greater good and the interests of others with their own interests to do right.
Republicans prefer to protect business and corporate interests over that of THE PEOPLE. 3/4 of the recent National Chamber of Commerce endorsements went to Republicans.
It's quite simple actually.
Christianity goes very well with dictatorships.
Look at Russia, look at Germany, my country. Hitler was brought to us by evangelical Christians.
Our population was 98% Christian back then.
If you believe in an eternal dictator, you have no problem with one from earth.
There was a study done a few years back where people were given a choice between better quality of life, and wealth, for everyone vs a moderately better quality of life for themselves and no one else - and the majority chose the latter.
I've always always voted with what's best for the broader community in mind. I'm #Canadian, goodness knows voting this way isn't an exclusive Canadian value, but a value of those with a beating heart and a functioning brain.
No. It's not. When I vote, I see every child I have taught and their parents I have sat in meetings with in my mind. Many have lived in poverty or near it. All of them wanted the best education they could get and someone to advocate for their child when they aren't there. That is what guides me.
It’s a cynical take, but ultimately when people are too stupid or prejudiced to vote in their own personal interests… Yes, selfishly… That’s when a society is absolutely screwed.
They were taken in by racism and hate ideology. How can you win against that?
It’s sad that it takes something happening to them for them to care. It’s also bizarre because we warned them, and they refused to believe us. And they refused to believe their own eyes and ears. And so many of them consider themselves Christians. 😞
It's a simple failure to understand that in the end, the vast majority of us are in more or less the same boat. They're perfectly OK with other people being crapped on, but draw the line when THEY are the target.
She didn't care when she thought this would happen only to others. She wouldn't care now if this didn't happen to her, the utter lack of empathy she has shown so far keeps me from being moved by her plight.
eff those trump voters. the plan was literally PUBLISHED. willful ignorance ultimately reveals ugly truth. they didn’t think this would happen to ‘them.’ assholes.
She's only regretting it because she's been fired...it was ok with her for everyone else to be hurt by the antics of Trumpty Dumpty and his Muskfeigns...cultic personalities think they are the center of Trumpty's universe and are hurting cause they've discovered they're not.
People thinking someone who treats people like shit won’t treat -them- like shit seems to be a universal mental illness going around. I’d feel bad for them if they had any right to be shocked that he was a frequent flyer with this behavior pattern.
Sympathy's a finite resource. I'll save mine for those who deserve it and not those who voted for Trump - the MAGAts deserve ever cruel punishment Trump dishes out in his quest for vengeance.
I’ve got no sympathy whatsoever for these folk: there’s only so much sympathy to go around: and none of it goes to folk who voted Trump in, and then are sad ‘cause he’s messed up their lives, rather than immigrants’ and black peoples’ lives.
Interesting that I only ever hear of MAGA women coming to their senses. I guess even in this brain-dead cult they are (relatively) the more rational gender.
I feel horrible for the woman who didn’t vote for him because she figured he’d do this. The other women? They voted for him thinking the pain would never reach them. SMH!
The common thread here is that they were always OK with pain being inflicted on other people. Though it might feel good to demonize people like this, IMHO the best bet is to let them come to their own realizations. Some who voted for 45 need to flip & only they can convince themselves to do that.
Nope, she’s just stupid and ignorant. We knew all of this well before the election, and I believe she did too. She was just hoping only people with brown or black skin would suffer. Had that been the case, she’d love this hell we live in now.
During Trump's government shutdown in 2018, the NYT quoted a federal employee who voted for him and was mad about being furloughed: "He's not hurting the people he's supposed to hurt!"
The only explanation for these seemingly normal people being formerly so pro-Trump is that they’re lowkey racist. Anyone with half a brain shouldn’t be falling for Trump’s bullshit. They like the racism, and thought only the groups of people they don’t like would suffer. They deserve this.
I have designed a poster for the upcoming HANDS OFF! protests. If anyone wants a printable file, please message me : ) https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/
I bet you 100% she was fine with Trump pardoning all the insurrectionists and fine with everyone else losing their jobs. Everything was okay until it was her that was negatively affected. Prove me wrong.
They're all about only two things: cruelty to others; selfishness for themselves. All you need to know.
It's also why the Dems pointing out the cruelty like bombing civilians or cancelling child cancer research has no effect. But highlighting cuts in SS, Medicare and other will. Because selfish
Fuck them! I have zero sympathy for any Trump supporter at this point. They voted for a convicted felon with obvious mental issues and deserve what they get. Unfortunately, we are all along for the very bad ride.
My next store neighbor is Maga and works for the VA. I asked her the other day about job cuts, and her response was that there was a lot of waste and something needed to be done. 🙄 Of course, at this point, she doesn’t think her job will be impacted. We’ll see what she says if it is.
I’ve had two classmates who lost their federal jobs after saying the exact, same thing. Neither have posted a thing on their social media since posting about losing their jobs. After months of telling everyone to “cry more,” a couple “told ya so’s” shut them down.
I will never forget their attacks on the most vulnerable. I will never forget their racism. I will never forget what they did to our country. They can march all alone for all I care, and may they have the lives they so richly deserve. I don’t forgive.
"All I did was vote to end democracy, destroy the economy, kill innocent children at home and abroad, upend our alliances, destroy the rule of law and now I have to loose MY job. It's so unfair!"
“…cut the knees off working class Americans…”
What the hell. In all his campaign chaos when did he outline what he was going to do to help working class Americans?
Now it’s directly affected you.
Selfish
News flash: it’s going to get worse. Could have had the woman with a real plan.
They’re also not sorry. They’re sorry it happened to them and not only the people they wanted to hurt. They still want to hurt those people and will vote again for someone who promises to be more careful about hurting the right people. This is not contrition, barely regret, more a plea to the tsar.
Justice is ultimately reconciliation and reconciliation is a process of acknowledgment coupled with restitution to repair the relationship that was damaged. The ones that are sorry will join the work to repair the damage. Half these people would have taken their flags down if he DIDN’T do this.
For those of you making disparaging remarks about MAGA voters regretting their support for Trump, I get it. I am angry, frustrated, and somehow amazed that so many were taken in by this husker. But I bite my tongue and welcome them to the other side. We will need their continued support.
Aren’t you assuming they support the other side? Regret voting for trump doesn’t mean they are having a change of moral character. Is it not more likely they’ll just bury their hate in another similar candidate? Welcoming them to the other side now is a bit premature - Trojan horse
Look at this way, if you want someone to leave a cult you don't shame them. It reinforces what the cult told them - you have no family except for our family. You will be ostracized and demonized if you leave. So what does one accomplish by doing this? Typically, they return to the cult.
You should have done your research. You all scared US with your MAGATS violence, threats and anger. The stuff you ladies thought would happen were all based on a pack of lies out of the felon’s mouth.
No sympathy. None. Once again, the orange clown is making America look bad. But magats wanted him to 'own the libs & the woke'...well, you got what you voted for.
I am sorry that anyone has lost their jobs.
Everyone were warned but not listening. I’m retired & I worry about my SS check I paid into but there is nothing I can do but ride it out. I knew 10 yrs ago DT is a con man & I was not falling for his bull shit. I’m 79 so what is your excuse? Read & vote
I lived in Manhattan for a year as a guest faculty in 1990. I read about Trumps refusing to pay small family businesses that worked for him until he’d bankrupt them, rather than pay his bills. Repeatedly! He’s always been a bully & a con man. New Yorkers know it & didn’t vote for him.
Plus I live on the Oregon coast so if I can get info on DT 10 + yrs ago so can people who live in bigger cities. I knew NYC had him pegged because I’ve see the documentaries. I read his crappy book back in the 90’s😡thanks 4 sharing.
Convicted Felon Trump ran on the promise that he would be MAGAts 'retribution'- meaning he was going to to do this crap to THOSE PEOPLE.
FAFO MAGAt Princess. FAFO
I have not one shred of sympathy for these people. Not. One. Shred. They weren't duped, they were willfully ignorant. They weren't sorry for anyone until they were sorry for themselves. And they'd do it all again if they thought it wouldn't affect them. FAFO.
Maga junkies who wear crosses and are ok with others being harmed with loss of jobs, deportations, anti DEI etc…are so surprised when it happens to them, it’s the surprise that’s so telling. Modern Christians are libertarians, selfish to the max.
Trump told them over and over what he was going to do. She’s only mad because it’s hurting her personally, if it was a colleague instead of her being fired she’d still be a “maga junkie”.
UnAmerican. UnPatriotic. Real American patriots want the whole country to thrive. Real American patriots do not threaten our good friends and allies to please Putin! 😡
This is why I do not have sympathy for these people. If they weren’t being affected right now they would not care about what is happening. They would be celebrating it.
Many MAGA families are on food stamp and Medicaid. Those will certainly be gone in few months and their children will suffer or worse. Poorest states are the red states
I consider this karma for their votes. They were willing to let them harm others, now they are paying the price.
They should have the life they voted for.
They don’t care until Trump’s hurtful agenda hurts them personally. That’s why I have no empathy for them. All Americans, red blue purple parties, are hurt by Trump’s policies.
They DO deserve it. Trump represents hatred of other. The dehumanization of other. Somewhere in their souls they must know this and they voted for him anyway.
Only 1 tax bill ever passed in US history that balanced US budget & reduced US debt by a $1/2 trillion!
Yes, it took 9 years to accomplish.
& Clinton signed it back into law twice.
Originally passed by H Bush & Dems.
Corps pay 34%.
Corps made record profits!
Economy boomed & US citizens prospered!
I’m so sick of them. fact: we told them for yrs these things would happen & they called us names & mocked us. 30 yrs I’ve listened as they called us “f’ing commie”, “communists”, “socialists” etc but our D presidents made good economies come from Rs 💩 ones & we kept laws & our constitution in tact.
You thought it wouldn’t apply to you…it was okay for it to hurt others for false intentions. He and his administration are false leaders and now are destroying our country.
She’s still morally bankrupt. None of it mattered until it directly affected her. I’d venture to say she’d vote like this again if she was told it wouldn’t hurt her. This is not a come to Jesus, I’m cured & escaped the cult moment. This is I’m still a selfish person who made bad choices for myself.
Expected more??
The orange baboon did exactly what he said he said he would.
The nation is sinking and they threw the grenadines that let the water in.
I am not sorry in the least for any MAGA voter loosing their job. They were warned and they just kept drinking the MAGA Kool-Aid. Now we are all in hell with them.
Sadly enough the regret comes way too late. And now we all suffer. Trump voters are co-responsible for the mess the country is in. Warnings were stamped as doom thinking.
Its class warfare. They R getting left behind. They 👀 educated left (many of color) getting ahead, feel disadvantaged. They were hoping vote would provide opportunities. When N reality Trump was just selling dictatorship/lies. Only way to force a dictator out is to join together against billionaires
SAD. But like 77,296,194 others she VOTED FOR THIS. How in Hell did you not EXPECT this chaos after TFG 1.0? Did you not read Project 2025? He is executing this plan.
"Empathy" is the key difference between the left and right. If you can put yourself in someone else's shoes, you can imagine what would happen if you were affected by the policies you are supporting. And sometimes the target of those policies does turn out to be you.
I mean, I definitely don’t support the US supporting Israel and their genocide, but I also voted for Kamala bc I knew Trump winning would be worse for EVERYONE and you aren’t going to teach millionaire democrats a LeSsOn.
The amazing thing is that donor states, which are almost all blue states, like NY and CA subsidize red states. So, technically they are living off of OUR tax money.
Those people were lured in with the promise of community and it was nice. Then they were starved and abused and yes shot. There is a lot of footage and audio available about what happened. We continue to be wilfully misinformed. I still see people talk terribly about the McDonald's coffee lady too.

What is there to care about on those minded folks..
They voted for a fired president who is a convicted rapist.

Bone-chilling indifference.
Empathy and compassion are what hold us together, help us overcome hardship...
What they have failed, though, is to vote with *their own* best interests in mind 😕
That's not the majority, but it COULD be.
Christianity goes very well with dictatorships.
Look at Russia, look at Germany, my country. Hitler was brought to us by evangelical Christians.
Our population was 98% Christian back then.
If you believe in an eternal dictator, you have no problem with one from earth.
That’s what we’re up against.
My observation and point with that, is they weren’t even able to discern that voting for Trump was not in their Own interest..
They were taken in by racism and hate ideology. How can you win against that?
But hey, maybe it suits them perfectly. Maybe their last name used to be "Brown" and they couldn't abide that.
The fuckers.
Fucks depleted
In fact, I’m enjoying their suffering. If that makes me a shitty person, I’m ok with that.
Fuck her. She knew what she was voting for.
Honestly I have zero sympathy for these people.
They are in find out phase of fucking around.
bad happening to someone else won’t happen to them
I think back to Lyndon Johnson quote abt getting white ppl to vote for him - Convince them they’re more exceptional than other groups.
That's all that needs be said about those voters.
Let them suffer the same by all extremes.
Hopefully, all the MAGA morons will go bankrupt, lose their houses, and have no Medicaid and SNAP benefits
I’ve got zero fucks left to give for these people
They got exactly what they voted for
She has FA
The Leopard is teaching her FO
It's also why the Dems pointing out the cruelty like bombing civilians or cancelling child cancer research has no effect. But highlighting cuts in SS, Medicare and other will. Because selfish
Conservatives are garbage people. Always have been.

Fed gov’ issues the money when congress approves spending.
Rest of us are users of money.
Example:
Fed spends $100 into economy.
Taxes back $90
Fed has $10 deficit but we have $10 surplus invested into the economy.
Please learn about how monetary systems work.
What the hell. In all his campaign chaos when did he outline what he was going to do to help working class Americans?
Now it’s directly affected you.
Selfish
News flash: it’s going to get worse. Could have had the woman with a real plan.
"I didn't think they meant me", is no excuse.
Everyone were warned but not listening. I’m retired & I worry about my SS check I paid into but there is nothing I can do but ride it out. I knew 10 yrs ago DT is a con man & I was not falling for his bull shit. I’m 79 so what is your excuse? Read & vote
Better hope your local food pantry didn’t get govt grants… oh shoot they did.
FAFO MAGAt Princess. FAFO
Scary 😨😰
Trump, the GOP, and his supporters are pure evil.
They voted with hate in their hearts for the suffering of millions, only experiencing any measure of regret when they themselves experience hardship.
These people are not allies. They are oppressors and they will not receive forgiveness.
But never forget.
We told you.
WE TOLD YOU.
You did NOT LISTEN.
They should have the life they voted for.
Greed, selfishness, cruelty and misplaced anger.
A whole group of people who could care less unless something effects them directly.
Yes, it took 9 years to accomplish.
& Clinton signed it back into law twice.
Originally passed by H Bush & Dems.
Corps pay 34%.
Corps made record profits!
Economy boomed & US citizens prospered!
That's important because they will be what helps get us out of this and hopefully they actually learn a damn lesson on how to vote for years to come.
They got what they voted for — makes me feel good 👌🏾
So many people were (are) ignorant to the fact *WHAT ELSE* their vote would come with... now they're feeling the same pain as we do!
Honestly?? **FUCK 'EM!** 😤😡
She

The orange baboon did exactly what he said he said he would.
The nation is sinking and they threw the grenadines that let the water in.
Regrets it because she suffered .
Suck it up buttercup!
These bums should be hit even harder!
They used the empathy of left leaning folks against them to foster voter apathy & get trump elected.

But our federal government just prints dollars
Federal taxes just destroys a dollar
Cults kill.
The tape of JJ speaking that day is something everyone should hear so that they recognize the voice of malignancy when they hear it.
