The MAGA Regret Industrial Complex
On hopeful(?) content and political strategy.
Over the past few months, progressive creators are attracting millions of views by making content about Trump voters who regret their vote. This sort of content has existed since 2016, but it’s kicked into overdrive over the past few months as people have started facing the consequences of living under a fascist president (and also, you know, The Epstein Stuff). Multiple low-income people who can no longer afford health care, 200k views on Jay Reed’s YouTube channel. A farmer getting hit hard by tariffs, 3.2M views on CNN’s channel. Latino voters claim Republicans “used” them, 1.4M views on NBC.
