Unless they have a come to Jesus moment about just how bad their votes screwed over the maginialized and oppressed, realize that a vote for Trump was a mistake on the order of invading Russia in the winter time, that they are bigots and admit they are bigots--and that they want to change this...AND however much they think they are suffering, realizing that their vote ensured that many people will go hungry, people will die because of a lack of preventive healthcare, as well as regular healthcare, that women will be abused and raped and die from lack of reproductive health and DV help, poor children will starve, people will suffer from a literal lack air as regulatory protections against pollution are eased, I could go on and on and on. They won't real8ze any of these things. They will only feel their own pain or discomfort.
