Do you know anyone experiencing voter remorse over Trump? Tell your story.

I'm interested in specific stories from people you know who were Trump supporters/voters and are currently horrified by what's going on and/or have expressed remorse over their vote.

I'm aware there are websites like areyousorryyet.com but I'm interested in people's actual experience with people they know.

I'm in a deep red area in a deep red state. My suspicion is that anyone here who is beginning to experience remorse will stay quiet until things start getting really bad for Trump, i.e. looking like he's going to have to leave the White House one way or another. If people start openly expressing regret and misgivings about Trump where I am, I'll know he's in huge trouble, although the trouble may have started earlier and not been as evident to me.

I feel like the protestor punching red hats will never change or admit error, but I'm hoping some "yeah Trump's terrible but I voted for him because HER EMAIL SERVER" people will express remorse and not vote for him again.

I'm the token liberal and they were all too happy to tell me how great he was going to be before the election. They have been eerily quiet since which is surprising because as far as I know the only news they watch is Fox. I don't get the local paper or watch local news so there may have been some info there. I'll have to check.

If you run across these voters online, encourage them to complain to their Reps and Senators about the various issues without flaming them. At this point, with our Democracy at stake, we need all the help we can get.

If we can calmly point out to them the issues, they might do what we need. Angry rants aren't going to cut it as much as all of us want to, including yours truly. In fact, I expect to have a very sore tongue.
