A self-confessed ’MAGA junkie’ from a red-voting city devastated by Department of Government Efficiency firings has said she regrets voting for Donald Trump.
“I expected better” translates roughly as “I’m really fuckin’ stupid”.
I watched the CNN video, she’s so close. And yet so far away.
She didn’t expect better, she expected everyone BUT her to be hurt. Once she was hurt by Trump, suddenly she thinks things went too far.
Imagine the world we’d have if Republicans could feel empathy for something before it happens to them…
That’s still not empathy. That’s just feeling bad for their situation.
MAGA women confuse the shit out of me. Why vote for your own oppression?
The most generous explanation I can come up with is that many of them are ignorant and have been told all their life that white christian republicans are the good people and are THEIR people.
And many of them are just dumb mean conservatives the same as the men voting against their own interests.
And they’re a majority of white woman? Wtf?
I am aapaled by guys voting for Trump but women voting for him fries my tiny fucking mind.
One way to look at it is that these women are so used to being abused, to the point that oppression is deeply ingrained in their minds as just “the way it’s supposed to be”. Another way to look at it is that there are people out there who truly enjoy being submissive, and who truly think that being seen as lesser is all well and good. Truth is probably somewhere in between. However, It’s a really dangerous tightrope to walk about saying that a huge majority of grown adults can’t make decisions for themselves because they are literally incapable of choosing the best for themselves due to cultural manipulation. It basically debunks democracy as we know it. It makes it really hard to defend democracy when you can’t fully trust the ability to make informed and educated decisions of the majority of your population, so we pretend that it’s a non-issue and simply don’t talk about it.

Democracy depends on an educated citizenry.
“I expected better from you. I really did,” Pigott said, when asked what she would say to Trump if she got the chance. “I expected that you would do what was right and cut waste and fraud and all of those things that you promised us before we elected you in office, but you’re not doing that—you’re creating a disaster and I don’t know what America is gonna look like if this continues.”
He did exaclty what he said he was going to, why would she expect him to do anything better?

She expected her job to be safe. The waste and fraud she wanted cut was, you know, that DEI stuff and programs that support those other people. Woops!
I’ve always thought that most trump supporters just projected what they wanted trump to be on to him and trump never corrected them. Why would he?
so it’s no surprise to hear these regrets because their false images of him are cracking and they don’t know what to do.
We all expected better, lady. From you.
