In a recent community survey, former Trump voters expressed profound regret and disappointment regarding their choice in the 2020 election. Many attributed their change in sentiment to Trump's behavior following the 2020 election results and particularly his response to the January 6 insurrection. Several participants reflected on feeling betrayed, believing he posed a danger to democracy rather than a protector of it. Overall, their insights paint a picture of a significant shift in opinion and concern over Trump's influence and the current state of American leadership.
I have never been a Trump fan, but I was still in a conservative echo chamber in 2020, so I voted for Trump because I saw him as the lesser of two evils. I was disappointed when Biden won, but I figured the people had spoken. Then, January 6 happened, and I felt sick to my stomach. All along, people had been saying Trump was for law and order, especially during the George Floyd protests, and yet he had nothing to say about the insurrection. I deeply regret having voted for him at all and voted for Harris this time around. I hope the checks and balances hold and that we get a chance to vote for someone else in a few years.
I voted for Trump in 2020. However, it was his reaction to losing that completely switched me off. I thought he was a statesman, but his childish reaction to losing made me reconsider. Then January 6 happened, and I realized that Trump wasn't just a sore loser - he was a veritable threat to democracy. I voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 and was surprised and disappointed by my fellow Americans when Trump was elected. It's only been a month, and already, my fears about Trump are coming true.
He's a tinpot dictator intent on bending the government and the Constitution to his will. Anyone who doesn't agree is thrown out. He's given far too much power to Elon Musk, who is a private citizen using privileged access to private information and government systems to funnel money into his own businesses. And now Trump has proclaimed himself King. The Founding Fathers would be raising an army against him if they were still.
