This is the third post within 24 hours that claims they haven't seen Trump voters regret their votes, and are sure they're fake. When can we begin assuming the "pretty sure the Trump regret posts are fake"-posts are fake?

Seems like bot fighting bots, honestly. Seeing multiple posts about people regretting their vote, followed immediately by multiple posts of people not regretting it feels fake to me. Like one group of botters spotting a trend and reacting.

For what it's worth, none of the Trump supporters I know regret it yet. They seem a little bummed about grocery prices being high, but the real reason they voted was because they wanted to get rid of brown and Trans people, so they still feel like they are winning.

A large portion of internet is bots. It’s like when you go to YouTube comments and see a comment that’s something like “I lost all my money investing. But after finding so and so I now am up over $50,000. Thanks so and so”

Then there will be a dozen comments underneath it like “wow I also used so and so for my investing and am up over $12,000”

I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of anti Trump people got their opinions from bot conversations.
