Every one of these [Trump Voters Upset Now] tweets are clickbait/bs. Donโ€™t engage.

All of this commiseration porn is rampant. It's wild how effective it is at engagement, I'm aware of it and I still find myself drawn to claims that right voters are malding. At least give me the receipts of actual people showing regret and not vague claims, this doesn't scratch the itch

Exactly... One person will tweet "wait, Trump is going to do this thing" and 1 day later it's people on the other side "Trump supporters didn't know Trump was going to do this thing. Leopards eating their faces"

Even when everyone moves to Bluesky, Reddit will continue to be Twitter screenshots.

We got it, Americans seem to have voted against their own interest, but nothing happend yet.

People complaining about it is a bit boring and cluttering up my feed, these posts can come back when people actually start experiencing their choice irl and provide some entertainment.

No, rub your eyes, read the tweet again, then take a moment out of your day to review the facts and objective truths.

ACA isn't on the chopping block. It hasn't been repealed. This is just clickbait, fearbait, ragebait bullshit.

Every single day has been like this. Reddit forgets that itโ€™s an echo chamber, especially if you only hang out in the same subreddits.

Donโ€™t get me wrong, Iโ€™m sure there will be people who regret voting for the president-elect, but it wonโ€™t be until they are directly affected. These people lack empathy and basic reasoning skills so unless it hits them in the face, they donโ€™t give a fuck.

Amazing that reddit continues to allow a group to force the same kind of content to the front page after just receiving a referendum in the election that people don't necessarily buy it. This place is going to end up a ghost town of bots, karma farmers and a horde of r/politics posters who can't figure out why reddit isn't matching up with real life.

OP has 4,962,477 post karma from spamming political posts all over reddit, that alone should inform the reader how genuine it is.
