Anyone noticing Trump voters changing? (r.50501.chat)

Keep in mind, I live in Alabama. Our neighbor had two MAGA decals on the back of her car. One said “45-47” with an American flag. The other said “Yes, I’m a Trump girl, get over it.” And those stickers are now gone.

A close friend said two of their family members who voted for Trump are openly regretting it and changing their minds.

Is anyone else noticing any shifts? Or are these isolated incidents? Both have happened this week. In ALABAMA.

I’ve also heard from multiple people that they “didn’t know about the April 5 protests but will be out there on April 19.”

Keep hope. Keep fighting.

I will happily accept a repentant 47-er into the fight to regain what used to be a functional democracy. I can go back to worrying about whether or not my neighbor is some sort of racist bigot when we go back to our being safe to publicly question intolerance. Until then, I will accept an, "I'm sorry, I didn't think he literally meant all the things he said," as stupid as that makes them seem to us, because letting Western democracy fail because we can't get over our own hurt feelings towards former MAGAs, makes us our own type of fool. Don't force them to stay the course they're currently on.

Edit: spelling on a phone is hard sometimes
