After nearly a month of the president ruling by force rather than persuasion, you can still find pundits who believe that the Democrats, if they are going to save the republic, must be more than anti-Trump.
They have to be for something, not just against it.
It’s like these pundits have not been reading, or reading carefully enough, stories about Trump voters and what they say they believe.
If these pundits did read such stories with clear scrutiny, rather than slack-jawed benefit-of-the-doubt, they might ask themselves, as I have: How do you reason with people who are politically insane?
Consider this piece published today, in which the Wall Street Journal “followed up with nearly two dozen of Trump’s supporters and discovered a divergence: Some expressed regrets or concerns, while many were gleeful over his early actions to shake up Washington.”
The Journal quoted five. I’ll comment on three.
Staci White
This 49-year-old Omaha, Nebraska, resident voted for Donald Trump, because, she said, she “wanted lower prices and to stop fentanyl from coming into the US.” By “safer borders,” she said she had believed Trump meant “‘let’s stop the drugs from coming into the country.’”
“I didn’t know he was going to start raiding places,” she said......
Todd Winant
Articles like this also reveal the frightening paradox of democracy: the American people are the ultimate sovereigns of our political system, but the American people also don’t understand much about politics.......
Emily Anderson
Like Staci White, this 30-year-old resident of Duluth, Minnesota, told the Journal that she deeply regretted her vote for Donald Trump. Like Winant, she had been a supporter of RFK Jr’s brief indie campaign. She said she believes that Kennedy, as the new secretary of health and human services, is the best thing to happen since Trump took office.

Grade ‘A’ Bullshit
Idiots
Haven’t heard from anyone about a regret. Lots of celebrating though.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 52% of Likely U.S. Voters approve...
The entire article is goofy, starting with the risible suggestion that the Democrat Party has an interest in saving the Republic. Laughable.
That’s actually the first step, which might be the main problem with their cunning plan....
They’ve got to find one.
Fake Trump voters all regret their non vote for Trump.
Fake AI "wrote" a fake article about fake Trump voters fakingly (is that a word? LOL) voting for Trump and fakingly regretting it hoping their readers fakingly believe it knowing it's all fake but pretending to believe it anyway.
Just like they did with Biden. No work after lunch. A pudding cup. Matlock Reruns. And bedtime at 8:00pm
No. The American people - that is, the Americans who take the time and effort to THINK - understand politics just fine. They also despise politics just fine.
This story and the so-called Trump voters are as credible as Margaret Brennan and/or 60 Minutes.
Oh there are always someone who regrets their vote, no matter who it is, but the left trying to pretend its a large movement is beyond comical.
Trump’s growing more popular by the day in every poll, but ooooo his voters are abandoning him en masse...
More fake news.
Oh how shocking that Trump isn’t getting very good approval ratings right now from Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, and others like them. Trump isn’t trying to win over the corrupt ones. He’s trying to put American people generally first. The only ones who don’t see this are liars or delusional.

Ditto. Everyone I know would do it again.....twice.
No one I know regrets not getting the Jab
I regret I only voted for him once in this election.

This is the coping narrative they constructed in their own minds to give them hope Democrats will seize control of government again.
Steaming bovine excrement.
Me either...
