They Regret Voting for Trump... Now What? Talking Politics With Mom | Episode 13

Trump Regret is real... whether it's because they had a family member deported, their business is suffering because of tariffs, they are on the brink of losing their healthcare, or they are mad that the Epstein Files haven't been released - former Donald Trump supporters are regretting their vote. And some are even going online and confessing their transgression, and trying to make amends for the mistake they made. So what now?Those of us who saw this all coming have a variety of responses. One of the most common reactions, propagated by creators and commenters alike is that of FAFO... it serves you right! These are the consequences of voting for fascism.But is that doing any good? Is that going to help us defeat MAGA? Should we just forgive and forget? Or tell them that it serves them right? That these are the natural consequences for their actions... They didn't seem to care when we all told them that this was going to happen, or they thought it was going to happen to someone else... so why should we show them any sympathy now?Luckily, we have a former conservative who can provide us some insight into the mindset of a conservative, and can help illuminate the process of deconstruction and conversion from an ideology of hierarchy based on lies - to a place of empathy, compassion, and truth. The journey is not a straight line. And the fact is that we are in an emergency... there is a limited window of time to stem the tide of authoritarianism... and it is going to require a broad coalition of people to fight that fight. The demagogue wants us to fight amongst ourselves, but we need to stop looking at our neighbor - and look up at the oligarchs who threaten all of us.If you someone who regrets your vote for Trump - please consider visiting the following sites:(https://indivisible.org/)(https://leavingmaga.org/)(https://www.nokings.org/)And if you are getting something out of our work - please consider supporting us on patreon.(https://www.patreon.com/talkingpoliticswithmom)
