I think we should have empathy for people that were fooled into voting for Trump with the promise of prosperity. Working people should be voting for a party that actually supports the middle class, and Republicans had better (albeit untruthful) messaging there.

Whatever their reasons, if the voters are seeing the consequences of their actions and reflecting I'm going to forgive them. It sucks that it came to this, but if people are learning from their mistakes, we might be able to push back in a couple of years. I have less empathy for those that haven't changed their minds. I have zero empathy for people that voted for Trump out of hate.

Well, apparently they aren't going to wake up until they lose their farms--and apparently maybe not even that is enough. Some other commenter said he was doubling down on Trump in social media. They wanted disruption, and this is what it looks like.
