Are people already regretting their choice?

The “how something looks like” is a clear tell for me of a non-native English (American at least) speaker.

It is pleasing that you have detected that there is a difference between American and English,

I am granting the possibility (because I don’t know) that the British, Australian, etc. may say “how it looks like”. I’ve just only heard it in America by non-native English speakers.
 
It is like someone asked ChatGPT to generate a ridiculous fascist propaganda style poster for Trump in the style of ELP's Trilogy album cover.
 
Frogs who wanted a King.
I know, I have said it before, but at this moment it is not just inferred, it's what they want - right up front.
Fucking morons.

Most Trump voters are like any other voters who believe the country is headed in a direction that doesn’t benefit them. Concerns such as the outsourcing of jobs, inflation, and both perceived and real biases on other domestic issues drive their decisions. While the media often emphasizes discussions about fascism, racism, and bigotry (and there is merit to those conversations), it’s notable that they steer clear of labeling Trump voters as the ‘1%’ hoarding wealth—likely because that’s an easily debunked claim. I understand why the majority of Trump voters made their choice. While there is a minority that is prouder to be degenerates than I am of being Black, most are struggling financially and view Democratic policies and rhetoric about equality as direct challenges to their way of life, even if their interpretation may not be entirely accurate.

My main issue with Trump voters (and, likewise, with those who support Democrats) is that politicians on both sides continue to prioritize the interests of the 1% over the rest of America. The entire spectacle of the DNC and RNC, amplified by profit-driven news organizations disconnected from everyday communities, only makes things worse. These media outlets, have talking heads who wouldn’t set foot in a grocery store, keeping the public so distracted and polarized that we’re on the brink of a modern return to a feudal-like system—where voicing dissenting political opinions could be risky or even seen as heretical.

Fox, CNN, and similar networks don’t represent us. They represent FOX or FOXA & WBD on NASDAQ. Anyone who regrets their choice for reasons other than recognizing that the entire system is fucked is likely to repeat the same mistakes.

Not all of us. Some of us have friends and family who are not white, who are not straight, who are disabled, who never married or had kids, whose visa status might not be 100% according to all the rules ( See Elon Musk fir one example—not that he’s a friend or worth a nano second of empathy or care.). Some of us —not the ones calling for revolution, of course—have children and grandchildren we are afraid for.

Not all of us are sanctimonious self center fake Christians who are in it to ‘own’ somebody or for the lols.

Bunches of us are active on the local levels, working hard to eject officials with knowledge, competency, decency, morality, empathy.

Why are all these Trump memes so homoerotic?

C'mon, who needs twinks when you have this bleach blond butch built body comin at you? Trump is all man, ALL MAN, and he gives off the stink to prove it. That toughass 6-pack, excuse me, 30-pack ab collection is like a stack of torpedos. Those hot disco moves when papa hears the beat. Those cute little hands -- okay, we'll skip the hands. That cute little ballsack of neck wattle, hanging there, teasing you. That lazy, knowing look that says 'I can prove it all night.' Those pouting, pursing DSLs. Donald, stop, you're teasing!!
Shops in the Village will now sell you the Trump merkin, a cock wig that looks just like the famous orange pompadour. If your partner has one on, it's called going down to Trump Town or draining the Donald. It's all good, but when you got a little Trump in your hot pants, it's that much gooder. There's lots more to say but I'm going to leave you begging for it.

I assume you mean 'elect', not eject?

I have no idea why but somehow that is a common typo I make—or my phone has a diabolical sense of humor. I usually catch that error. This time I did not.

Your reply doesn't engage with my points about economic struggles, media distraction, or systemic corruption. Instead, it appears to be a criticism of my portraying Trump voters as a monolithic group—something I explicitly avoided. I acknowledged that most Trump voters are motivated by economic struggles, perceived biases, and dissatisfaction with the political system. I criticized politicians and media outlets for perpetuating a system that prioritizes the elite over everyday Americans. I expressed discontent with the media's divisive influence and the way it distracts from systemic issues. You may have misread my critique as an attack on Trump voters' morality or character rather than an analysis of the broader political and systemic issues influencing voter behavior.

Yes, these people feel like Government left them behind. The people they voted for are the ones that left them behind! They are partially behind that economic struggle (automation and computers are also responsible), they provided the media distraction, and involved in all that systemic corruption. After all, the GOP wanted to get rid of requirements that investment companies be legally required to provide advice that was in their client's best interests. WTF?!

Yes, these people are struggling and they full heartedly supported the people that made a good deal of that struggling possible.

Yes, all this discontent... and yet almost EVERYONE got re-elected.
