Let’s not fool ourselves: Donald’s blatant sexism and racism wasn’t going over this voter’s head. Not even for a second. So I wouldn’t insert the complexity of empathy and understanding the effects of responsibility of choice where someone hasn’t exercised it yet.

everyone has the right to change their own mind but it’s another to start inserting trust and faith in them.

this looks more like regret for their own misfortune (not for anyone else’s). This doesn’t mean their racism and sexism they got on board with that lead to this decision in their life magically vanished or that they wouldn’t hesitate at the chance another president with the same ideas. They merely gained the ability to not deny it has provided a different problem altogether that affects them personally now. Which is ok, great. step one. They hit a bottom. They got to the point they admit there’s one problem. Many refuse to even go there for their thirst of revenge on ‘woke’.

At best at this point you could only expect they could at least understand to vote in their own interest and not just to vote as a form of revenge. Perhaps they found Donald is a bigger enemy than DEI. I just wouldn’t mistaken that as them suddenly seeing everyone around them as equals just yet or that pain is universal
