In this new video, MeidasTouch’s blue-dot-in-a-red-state reporter Tennessee Brando shares a message he received from a Trump voter who said he regretted his vote after watching a Brando video. The Trump voter candidly admits they cast their vote without researching Trump’s policies, and didn’t even really believe that Trump had a chance of winning.
They now acknowledge how dangerous their choice was, expressing disillusionment with Trump and his administration's actions, specifically surrounding the choice of Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary, following his comments that he would allow U.S. troops to target civilians.
Brando states that he appreciates the voter’s honesty, and doesn’t want to reveal his identify or come across as attacking this person, but stresses that elections have consequences. It is critical for voters to educate themselves about candidates and policies before they vote.
Brando slams the casual or protest-based voting mindset, stating that he has never cast a protest vote, and always stood behind every vote he has ever cast. He also calls for voters to move beyond superficial cultural wars, like Kid Rock’s war on Bud Lite that was just designed to cause outrage, with no actual effect whatsoever on people’s lives.
While acknowledging the Trump voters’ newfound commitment to standing against tyranny, Brando stresses the importance of informed and thoughtful voting, urging everyone to prioritize democracy and a healthy society over momentary emotions or partisan loyalty driven by culture wars.
But here’s the good news: the messages from MeidasTouch contributors are breaking through—and are changing hearts and minds.
