This is the one piece of weirdly uplifting news I needed to hear. If a bigoted idiot can see the writing on the wall, then there's hope for us all
He'll still endorse Trump or his replacement in 2028. Just wait and see.
Well that will be the real litmus test, will he fall for the same tricks twice
Well, again. I don't think it's reasonable to try counting how many times they've fallen for it at this point.
hah, true
As far as I understand it, it's not like he regrets his bigotry or anything. He just regrets believing Trump would do anything about it. He's mad that Trump isn't fucking the right people in other words.
Which is, genuinely, progress.
He was voting for a guy who he thought embodied his (fucked up) values, and is now becoming aware that the guy only values himself and fucks everyone. Hopefully next time he will vote for a politician he can actually trust, and actually reflects his (bigoted) values at a meaningful level.
He drew the line at Epstein and sending tax money to Israel/Ukraine. I'm actually impressed he noticed that that line had been crossed
Presumably, this is the same thing that was going on in Charlie Kirk's assassin's head.
