15 Examples of Regretful MAGA Folks Who Messed Around and Found Out After Voting for Trump

*yawn* We tried to tell you not to vote for that man. Now there's a group of people #LeavingMAGA.

There is a new trend of voters who chose President Donald Trump on the ballot speaking out against their vote and voicing their regrets now that they’ve had a few months to experience his presidency.

These TikTok videos vary from satires to teary-eyed testimonials to cringy confessions that honestly don’t even seem real. However, it is astounding the amount of people — from a variety of backgrounds — who are denouncing the very man they just knew would help them prosper. The ignorance that blinded people from his racist, fascist, money-hungry ideals is beginning to lift slowly but surely.

As Elon Musk runs amok, federal agencies are being slashed, grocery prices remain high and inflation is predicted to get worse. And it’s not until now folks are thinking twice about their decision. We got three years left of this guy but here’s 15 reasons why after a few months of his presidency, some voters regret voting for Trump.

This video appeared to present as a safe place for people who opened their eyes to their own ignorance.

“I was raised Christian and taught that being Republican aligned w/ that. Took me getting a college education and realizing that the Dem platform was much closer to my actual beliefs and values,” one user wrote.

“I voted for him in 2016. I got played w propaganda about Hillary. I’m in healthcare & saw his lies over COVID though. I voted Biden & then Harris. I will never vote Republican again,” wrote another user.

Farmers At Risk

Now, this is satire. This TikTok points out the ways Trump’s policies are going to affect rural America. The creator details how farms in states like Ohio were supported by funding from former President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act —which was paused by the Trump administration. Now, families may struggle to keep up.

A MAGA Apology

The girl explained how the mother of one of her former friends began a political tit-for-tat with her on Facebook following Trump’s first victory back in 2016. Nearly ten years later, the girl opened her phone to an apology from that very same Trump defender.

Podcaster’s Regret

Months after declaring their loyalty to Trump, Barstool founder Dave Portnoy and Twitch streamer Adin Ross hopped back on their respective platforms to cry about how much money they lost after Trump returned to office.

The TikTok user cited her religious beliefs as to why she supported Trump, who she believed was sent by God to lead the country out of Satan’s hands… until she realized she was being manipulated into believing so.

Kamala Harris Ad Brings Guilt

This Trump voter expressed the “guilt” and “grief” he felt as the reality of the current presidency hit him after seeing a VP Kamala Harris campaign ad about Trump’s vindictive promise to withhold aid from his opposers.

Courtney here explained that after voting for Trump in 2016, her faith in him was lost upon the pandemic when she realized… he don’t really care about us.

Pandemic Prompts MAGA Exit

This TikTok user realized his mistake during the pandemic after Trump suggested we inject household cleaner into our veins. He also called out Trump for constantly combatting medical experts who were trying to provide useful information to save lives.

Medicaid MAGA’s Change Their Mind

@moreperfectunion

Two-thirds of people in California’s 22nd Congressional district rely on Medicaid. But the majority of the district also voted to elect President Trump in 2024.  We went to talk to residents to see what they think about Trump’s proposed cuts to Medicaid. One Trump voter told us: “I feel like they’re stabbing us in the back, you know?” #workersrights #corporategreed #labormovement #medicaid

♬ original sound – More Perfect Union

In an interview with More Perfect Union, rural California residents addressed Trump’s proposed billion-dollar cut to Medicaid. They believe millions of people are at risk of losing access to medication and healthcare, many of which who voted for Trump.

A woman named Ryleigh Cooper was let down twice by Trump: first by losing her job with the U.S. Forest Service along with her insurance and second, by not having free access to IVF for her plans to build a family as Trump promised.

Voter Turned Off By Racism/Deportation

@morgangabor

This is the second video in my multi-part series about why I regret my vote. In this video, I’m going to talk about rac!sm—how I am ignorant, minimized Trump’s behavior, and convinced myself I was doing it for the greater good because I viewed certain people as just “criminals.” I know I’m not the best speaker, but I’m sharing my story in the hopes it reaches others, especially MAGA supporters. Remember, we’re all human. The best I can do is learn and grow. 🫶🏼

♬ original sound – Morgan Gabor

Trump’s racist comments about Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs was one of the major turnoffs for this voter. She also explained that she didn’t think border control would be so brutal, sweeping even taxpaying citizens from off their feet. She said her hope is that MAGAs aren’t truly ignorant and won’t purposefully feed into Trump’s hate.

Veteran Regrets Vote

The 39-year-old North Carolina veteran said he voted for Trump because it appeared his policies helped military lives. He said he regretted his vote based on Trump’s comments about Gaza and even went as far as creating a “Money Out of Politics” movement to protest Congressional stock trading.

2016 Voters Regret Their 2024 Votes

It seems the common sentiment across Trump 2016 voters is that they regret putting him in office a second time. Well, if his first term wasn’t convincing enough that he’s an unfit president, we don’t know how to help ya.
