To all those MAGA morons who are now changing their minds on Trump, I say to them:
It's too late now. You've put a pervert convicted seditious criminal felon in charge of the country. It's your goddam fault for being ignorant idiots.
You knew but chose to ignore. You can't now say you didn't know. You knew he was a criminal, a bullshiter, a tax cheat, a sex pervert, a many-times bankrupt swindler, a traitor who led a seditious movement against the government of his own country.... Yet you still voted for him because maybe he was white, maybe because his opponent was a dark-skinned woman and you're a racist sexist white man, maybe you liked his fake "strong" image.... All wrong reasons to elect someone. So, in response to your regrets below, I say to you: F- --k you.

"I Want Him Impeached Now": Former Trump Supporters Are Revealing Exactly When They Changed Their Minds

Wed, July 30, 2025
Recently, on Reddit, ex-Trump supporters opened up about what made them change their minds about the President, and their responses were shockingly honest. Here are some of the most thought-provoking answers:
1."A few months ago, I began to dislike him because of his treatment of Zelenskyy. The Epstein files were the nail in the coffin. I want him impeached now." —IAmABearOfficial

2."I'm originally from Alabama [This explains your moronity], so I was taught to just vote Republican. So 2016 rolls around, and I do that. I never really paid attention to politics, so I didn't care about my vote. Especially in a red-dominated state. I didn't pay attention to politics til the end of 2019 and going into 2020. When COVID hit, I watched the news more closely and listened to the idiotic stuff he was saying. When he mentioned something about putting disinfectant in our bodies, I knew this wasn't the guy for our country or me. As the months and years went on, my opinions of him got worse and worse."
"Most of my acquaintances that I still talk to ask me if I would rather have 'Sleepy Joe' instead. My response is, 'If someone is sleeping, they are not fucking things up currently.' But apologies that I didn't pay closer attention in 2016. I wouldn't have voted for him if I knew. I can't even vote Republican anymore cause they aren't true Republicans anymore. They are MAGA kiss asses."—UberFabulous
3."Watching 75-year-old Martin Gugino being violently shoved by riot police and cracking his head on the pavement during the 2020 protests in Buffalo, NY. Then watching Trump get on Twitter, making up all sorts of lies to justify it."—Economy_Combination4
4."I joined the military. I grew up super conservative and carried that into adulthood. Then, being out of my hometown and among a diverse crowd and working with people from other countries, I realized that I was wrong. Empathy and compassion win over bigotry and hate." [This is revealing: American conservatives are SOOOOOO ignorant. They are such primitives that they always get a revelation when they step out of their backwoods and into the real world]. —misterfistyersister

5."Until the 2020 election, I only paid attention to voting records, policy statements, and platforms. What do I care what personality someone has, as long as they vote the way that aligns with my beliefs? It's the policies that matter, it's the bills that matter, not whether a politician is a little off-putting personally. I'm embarrassed now, but I was a Republican for far too long. I believed what the platform spoke of, and I believed the policy guidelines. I didn't pay attention to personalities or even specifics."
And I was more of a centrist-leaning conservative anyway. Not a hardliner, not a fascist. More of a 'yes, changes are needed, but let's do it carefully, let's pace ourselves, let's try not to change everything all at once. Let's take deliberate, well-planned steps, let's not rush things and do things we regret.'
And to be honest, all during Trump's first term, my life wasn't that bad. Whatever the federal government did during that period, it didn't affect me much. So what was I to be upset about? 'Stay the course,' I thought, 'because things are relatively okay for me now.'
But then I caught a random video that compiled many of the horrible things Trump has said and done. This was around January 2020. And I was horrified. Before this, I never gave him any attention.
And then came the 'UV light' thing for COVID and all the chicanery with how he handled the pandemic.
And I pulled my wife aside, and showed the video to her, and I asked her, 'Has he always been like this? Is this new?' And after her volley of punches at me, and after her voice gave out, screaming, 'Haven't you been paying attention?' I finally decided that I needed to do some more research.
I researched Trump, and all that he's done and said (policy aside). And I was disgusted. I could not believe I'd been blind to it all this time. And I researched the things Republicans have been trying to get done, and the dealings, and the lies, and the sneakiness, and the collusion, and the patronizing, and the racism, and the indifference to the poor, and the catering to the rich ... and I was also rather horrified, and embarrassed too.
And so I voted for Biden in 2020. I couldn't abide by this kind of leadership, this kind of morally corrupt person at the helm. And by 2024, I realized ... my life wasn't worse under a Democrat president either. What was I so afraid of?
And I noticed that most liberals weren't extreme anyway. They didn't want to enact sweeping changes that would make the USA look nothing like before. They wanted the same changes I wanted, maybe at a faster pace, maybe at a higher budgetary cost, but there was nothing I outright disagreed with.
And so while I deeply regret voting for Trump in 2016, I don't regret voting for Biden at all in 2020.
There you go. I'm that guy. I bared my soul here."—whomp1970
6."It was my first time voting. I voted for him in 2016. I was slowly becoming less and less of a fan in his first term. I was solidly not for him, but also not a hater by 2018 and into 19. I started thinking of myself as an independent. But once COVID hit, I saw how he pandered so hard to his conspiracy theorist base, yet got vaccinated. It made me flip a full 180 on him and just accept that I thought he lied, pandered, and did whatever he could to gain votes. He’d flip-flop on subjects based on how he thought which decision would make him more popular with his base."
"I grew up with very conservative parents, and hated Obama because of my parents. But I was in college, and Obama was finishing his last term while the primaries were going on. And I started to see that I actually didn’t hate Obama and thought he was a pretty decent president. So that was kind of the beginning of my political shift. But a full transformation did not happen until around COVID, when I had come to terms with the fact that I just didn’t agree with almost anything Trump or modern-day Republicans stood for."—tdoger
7."Back at the start of college, I liked the idea of 'draining the swamp' and getting a businessman and non-politician into government. Unfortunately, you can’t run the country like a business. It’s not meant to make a profit; it’s not supposed to be transactional. We do this, you do that."
"I was already not following him anymore by the time COVID came around, but his handling of the pandemic, attacking people, and treating it almost like a joke made no sense to me. At a time when you need someone to bring people together and comfort a public that was scared, he did nothing but point fingers, yell, and blame.
Come the Project 2025 stuff, I could not imagine supporting him. I’m still registered as a republican, but he holds no values that the true Republican Party holds, and has warped it into the MAGA party."—Nsgdoughboy
8."I've realized that he is not in line with God's teachings regarding how to view immigrants and the poor."—GolgothaBridge
9."Oh boy... I'd say my girlfriend had a big part in it, but specifically Tim Pool. Like many Republicans I know, I got my political info from rage-bait YouTubers and Facebook memes. I'd get riled up and say stupid shit, and she would listen, and then start to ask questions, and we'd look up the issue and discuss, and more often than not, I'd admit I was wrong and eat a nice helping of crow. That being said, the single event that made me go 'wait a fucking minute...that doesn't sound right at all' was the New York Attorney General fraud case against Trump."
"I was all aboard the 'he's being politically persecuted' angle being pumped out by traitors. I was listening to Tim Pool rage on the 'woke, liberal left' and this AG case, and he was, as many of them do, explaining to his audience about how the case wasn't fraud. And then he brought up on air the Zillow value of Mar-a-Lago to prove a point.
I'm a numbers guy. I work in engineering for commercial and residential construction. A billion+ vs. $26m is a 'yuge' difference. The value stated was so absurd, I stopped what I was doing to look it up. Then, I compared it to the surrounding properties. Then I read through the indictment. Then I looked up the history of the place, Trump, and how exactly they tax access properties in Palm Beach, I believe. The numbers don't lie. I understood without digging too long why the property was actually valued so low and why he was charged with fraud.
This, of course, led me to ask, 'What else am I being bullshitted about?' And I deep dove into all his trials, what actually happened on January 6, the fake electors scheme, his history of being an anthropomorphic shit stain, etc. Yes, I feel like an asshat for supporting him. In fact, Harris was the first political campaign I ever donated to. I've also tried to talk to some family, friends, and co-workers, but they are so far up Fox News' ass they couldn't hear me if they wanted to. I'm the un-American traitor now. It's disappointing."—Truxxis
10."At a terrifying time, when what we truly needed was empathy and unity, I saw the guy I'd proudly voted for in '16 do the opposite of everything my morals stood for. Every day, I watched him bitch and complain about everyone who disagreed with him. Then the BLM George Floyd protests started. The demonization of anyone standing up for civil rights and change was too much. And the final straw was when he had his goons tear-gassed peaceful American protesters, so he could pose for his stupid photo shoot, cemented it."—locofspades
11."I voted for him because I definitely didn’t want Hillary. I wanted an outsider to come in and drain the swamp. It became pretty clear not long into his first term that he wasn’t going to drain the swamp. He also chewed through some people I respect highly (Generals Mattis and Kelly, among others) and was extremely disrespectful towards them, which I had a problem with. While it was chaotic, it was entertaining, but I knew pretty quickly he was not a good leader. The events of J6 to me were surreal and really opened my eyes up to what a bag of shit he was."—Humphrey_the_Hoser
12."The barbaric actions of ICE agents rounding up and deporting people of color. A large portion of the workforce is immigrants who are honest, hardworking people. Some of the people being detained are US citizens, but they don’t ask for proof of citizenship. It’s just detain first, ask questions later. When he said he was going after criminals, I was hoping for violent gang members like Tren de Aragua. He also mentioned tighter border policies, and I was hoping it would reduce the flow of fentanyl into this country. I wanted a safer border and country, not the deportation of immigrants who haven’t done anything wrong." —killerzf9

13."As an independent, I leaned more conservative, so I usually voted Republican. (But not always. I stumped and voted for Obama.) I was really on the fence in 2016, but I was so upset with Clinton and her handling of Benghazi that I just couldn't bring myself to vote for her. Most of my family was voting for T., so I went along. I regretted that choice."
"Pretty much everything he did regarding environmental policy and pulling out of the Paris Accord angered me. I have been around long enough to remember rivers being on fire, and coughing my way to work, driving through smog that was as opaque as any heavy fog.
But how he, and the entire GOP congress, peddled COVID-denying science, recommending stupid 'cures,' sending test kits to Russia, repudiating vaccines... ZERO compassion. Bad enough that he was doing it, but for the entire party to echo his insanity... I still consider myself an Independent, but I'll never vote Republican again."—AncienTleeOnez
14."I genuinely didn't like the overstepping of political correctness. Then he stacked the Supreme Court, and we witnessed the overturning of Roe v Wade. That's when I realized the man is a pawn in a larger crusade, and they have the upper hand. That's when I got genuinely afraid. Don't get me wrong, I quickly saw how much of an A-hole he was, but it was all water under the bridge until major, life-changing things happened even before he was back in office. Now he threatens my life and everything I want out of this life (to do my science). That fear has turned into rage."—TheTopNacho
15."Mocking that disabled reporter was the last straw for me." —JPBeanArch

16."For me, it was rather simple. I started to see his BS rhetoric as just that. Everything he did was the best it had ever been done. No, it wasn't. He'd double down on shit. Then he started vilifying everyone who disagreed with him in public. It made me cringe when he spoke for Americans because I didn't feel that way. The way he demeaned people was the last straw. I would say I'm still conservative, but as long as MAGA represents the face of conservatism, I will have nothing to do with it."—martinfendertaylor
