We hear examples here and there but I wonder how many actually regret their decision to support the authoritarian now in charge?
Are they truly ashamed of their decision? In my opinion, they should be. But, that is only one person's opinion.
There is no way to know because most of them would never admit it. Would you admit to walking into church with dogshit on your shoes? It would be embarrassing, to say the least.
I have never seen a poll with a similar question? It would be good info to have, from a political perspective.
But Democrats have to campaign as if no MAGA have left the fold. Because we do not know.

We were standing waving American flags and displaying simple pro-Democracy signs.
One called us Fucking fa---ts, which may explain something of his rage. He thinks we are getting some action that he surely is not.

(201 posts)the Trump signs, flags, bumper stickers, pickup truck antenna banners, MAGA caps, t-shirts, et al have nearly disappeared since last fall. Part of that is the election being over, but it's still an encouraging sign. The post-2016 Trump enthusiasts, for the most part, had kept their merchandise displayed during the Biden years.

(72,770 posts)They have no measurable human intelligence, and are therefore incapable of reason, reflection, or rehabilitation. They're meat puppets who have send us down the path of national destruction with their empty-headed fecklessness.
If that sounds especially harsh, look around at what they have brought upon our once-great nation...

(17,982 posts)Because they are all too stupid to understand what he's really doing. Hell, half of them still believe all the QAnon crap wholeheartedly.
I know that's not necessarily reflective of the rest of the country, but damn, you'd think these idiots would figure it out by now and they simply have not.
