    On a tangential note, there was a time where I was really into r/trumpgret and thought that these people who voted for him but now hate him truly had a change of heart and became allies to our cause, and I was so excited to see the tides turning, even though it was just an insignificant percentage of the people who voted for him. But then at some point I realized most of the Trumpgretters are either standard conservatives who are simply upset that he doesn't exhibit the decorum they believe the office of POTUS deserves, or they're even further right fascists who were expecting him to do something crazy like deploy literal death squads to execute all Mexican/Black/Muslim/LGBT/unhoused/etc people, or abolish taxes completely, or fire everyone in federal government to "drain the swamp". Obviously both groups are still going to vote for him since to them he's the lesser of two evils.
