I certainly don’t regret my decision. I didn’t vote for that yokel, nor did I vote for Harris, I voted for a third party candidate I actually believe in. Trump won my state by >20%, which I 100% expected going into the election, so I decided to use my vote to point out that the electoral system is broken and that neither candidate is acceptable.
I’m unhappy with Trump and I worry that his party won’t stand up to him as much (or even as little) as it did last time, but I guess we’ll see. I’m mostly worried about the economy, and I see two likely outcomes (from things I’ve read and watched):
boom - tariffs trigger higher prices, but Trump convinces Congress to issue handouts and people spend more; borrowing rates go up to combat inflation, which ends up strengthening the dollar; this creates a bit of a bubble, but it could last for the remainder of his term
bust - tariffs trigger higher prices, and Trump is unable to convince Congress to issue handouts, so people spend less; economy drops into recession, borrowing rates drop to spur spending, and recovery depends on “trade war” nonsense w/ other countries (i.e. them raising tariffs makes recovery harder)
What ultimately happens depends on how aggressive Trump is w/ tariffs and what he can convince Congress to do. I’m not really looking forward to either scenario, and I hope there are other likely scenarios I’m missing.
That said, whether (or how soon) we regret it depends on which thing happens. Or if Trump ends up going after social issues instead, we’ll probably regret those as well.
I hope this is just a new style of trolling, designed to draw out what I’m sure will be a lot of negative attention.
If you’re really gullible enough to be serious about all this, then go fuck yourself. “Mostly worried about the economy.” You can check back in with me the first time someone in your neighborhood gets hauled away in the mass deportations, or when the price of groceries goes up 50%. My guess is the first will happen before the second, but we’ll have to wait and see.
I don’t think you’re trolling. But people are in shock and feeling salty for what has happened. For those that don’t agree with you, the case can be easily explained: If you didnt vote for Harris, you’re considered as an enabler for Trump to be in power, thus you’re at fault no matter the reasons.

I did not vote for him, nor have I ever voted for him. I can’t regret a decision I didn’t make.
I do not like Trump, and I made it abundantly clear that I don’t like either scenario.
Where is the trolling?
