George and Esmeralda said they both voted for the first time in 2020, and then again in 2024 – both times for President Donald Trump. They said, as they’ve watched his mass deportation effort unfold in immigration court and at workplaces, seeing the majority of people detained without a violent criminal record, they both have come to regret their votes.

“I feel shame, guilt and anger at the same time because of the promises that he made that he lied to us about, going after the worst of the worst,” George said. “He lied on those and he stole our vote.”

DUDE, if you're not white you are the "worst of the worst" in Trump's eyes.

I guarantee that these people will change nothing about where they get their information. They will still trust it; even though the evidence that they're continually listening to bullshit is staring them right in the face (with masks and guns!).

They did say they regret their vote though, so that's a start.

We're going to have to have imperfect allies and a massive coalition to have any hope of fighting against this shit.
