"I liked his policies, mainly his support for education and affordable housing, said Shirley Wong, 70, of Bensonhurst, referring to Mamdani. "He seems to listen to us."
But less than a year ago, Wong cast her ballot for Trump. She cited the influx of migrants in her neighborhood, as well as the cost of living under President Joe Biden. But now, Wong said she regretted voting for Trump, citing the Big Beautiful Bill's projected cuts to Medicaid

This sounds like someone learning. It’s incredibly hard to admit you were wrong and do better. Don’t shame her for it.
She hasn't learned anything. She discovered that her vote is now going to affect her. If it weren't specifically for the Medicaid cuts, she wouldn't be showing any remorse and would still be hoping Trump will take care of her brown person problem. She hasn't admitted that she was wrong, she's finding out that actions have consequences.
Fuck her. She deserves to be shamed just like every other Trump voter. Remember when being pro Nazi got you in hot water because of the shame it brought? We need to get back to that.
Sure, if you want to give them a reason to double down again instead of coming around.
I'm tired of trying to cater with these fucks. She has shown zero remorse for her beliefs, just that it's affecting her. She has no intention of coming around, and if she does, I was never going to be the voice that gets her there, unless she happens to stumble into this thread. I doubt think Fox news or OAN or whoever is regurgitating this to their base, so it's a moot point.
Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.
I got lots of rocks and didn't vote for the orange piece of trash. Careful what you wish for...
It’s not hard to admit you’re wrong, unless you’re overly prideful.
