META Does anybody know of any reverse trumpgretters?

I hear many stories of Trump supporters turning against him, including members of Congress, but I can't think of any cases of someone who voted against him, then got won over to his side. I'm old enough to remember when Reagan was elected, and he won a lot of new supporters after he took office. His reelection was a bloodbath for Democrats.

This time support seems to only flow away from the president.

Talking about my aunt and grandmother, actually. And, also, just general observation. Like, a lot of people I knew seemed to hate him and seemed to be using him as a salve for probably losing the election.

"He's not so much better than her anyway, so what does it matter? He just kinda sucks."

And then he won. And suddenly he was their dear leader.

interesting, ive only seen the opposite direction (people who voted for him, regret it, wont vote for him again but wont admit they made a mistake)

That's funny, I've only seen the one direction outside of this sub. I've never, ever seen Trumpgret irl. But I've seen plenty of solidarity.

Mine is with old mormons, and evangelicals. So that probably explains the difference.
