Hindsight 2020.

Not every Trump supporter from 2016 is still a ride or die member of the MAGA crowd. One former conservative Republican Trump voter, David Weissman, shared his change of heart on Twitter, more than once in an appeal to other Trump voters who are less than happy with the results of their 2016 vote.

Weissman describes himself as:


"From N.Y. now in FL. Army Veteran, former Conservative Republican Trump supporter now Liberal Democrat & Warren supporter. Yes it's possible."

On Friday, June 21, Weissman continued with his story of his own personal growth. On a tweet by another Trump critic, George Conway, Weissman responded with his assessment of his former candidates mental fitness.

When someone pointed out that many had pointed to Trump's mental state during the 2016 presidential campaign, Weissman stated:

"When I supported Trump like most Trump supporters we called it fake news. I was really an idiot to think he would be a good president."

Weissman added:

People commended Weissman on his willingness to reevaluate his own long-held beliefs and past decisions.

Other former Trump supporters agreed that their vote for the President was a mistake.

Weissman admitted it was a gradual and difficult process to admit many of his beliefs were based on lies.

People wondered what Weissman's tipping point was.

In response, someone shared the blog article Weissman wrote about his journey.

Weissman also shared how Trump appealed to many of the people who are reconsidering their decision.

On June 10th, Weissman created a thread with a tweet stating:

"My life as a former conservative Trump supporter. Every day is an embarrassment and resentment from what Trump says or does, everyday I learn something new from lies I was led to believe when I was a conservative."

From there he shared some of the lies he used to believe that influenced how he voted.

He then explained his disappointment with his 2016 vote for President Donald Trump.

Since sharing his story, Weissman says he has faced threats and harassment from the group he once was part of, but says their anger will not change his mind.

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

Kid Goes Viral After Leaving Sweet Note On Plane For The Person Sitting In Their Seat On The Next Flight

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
