Mom Voted for Trump, Regrets it Because her Child’s Father got Deported
Many Americans are willfully ignorant, with the mentality that their actions will not cause them harm. Maybe it’s our privilege, or apathy for current events, but one thing is clear: your vote will impact you.
Many Americans now regret their vote, even though Donald Trump was clear with his intentions for his second term. When a spade shows you their true colors, believe them.
Their regret for their ignorance does not clear them of their irreparable choice that will leave a ripple effect of damage on America for the foreseeable future. But it gives us a glimpse to how the public perception is shifting.
What happened?
A voter who supported Donald Trump now regrets her vote, because the father of her first child was arrested and deported by immigration officials.
"I voted for Trump. And it cost me immensely," Sara Baruth wrote.
Not sure what exactly Sarah expected when during Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, he pledged to conduct the “largest deportation plan of criminals in the history of America”. Doesn’t matter if you’re a criminal or not, under the eyes of this administration if you are here as an undocumented person you are indeed a criminal. This isn’t my opinion, it’s a statement the White House made in January after the election.

Sarah described her partner as a man who had lived in the US for most of his life and never committed a crime. He died his best to get papers, but struggled. He hired lawyers and did everything the “right way” but you know, never succeeded.
"I didn't post this for sympathy. But yall need to know it's not just 'bad' people with a criminal record being deported. These people are fathers......providers. Head of the household. The enemy wins by destroying the family unit with this policy," she wrote.
This isn’t the first person to come onto the internet with the same regretful sentiments. Bradley Bartell’s wife was arrested by ICE, and he was also a proud Trump voter. His wife Camila Muñoz from Peru overstayed her visa while chasing after documentation. She’s been released from custody since that happened, making her one of the more “luckier” victims of ICE.
Trump supporters Bachir Atallah and his wife returned from a Canada trip when Customs and Border Protection stopped and detained them. The kicker? He’s been a US citizen for a decade now.
In the end, these stories serve as cautionary tales of what happens when voters ignore clear warnings and choose denial over accountability. The pain and regret now voiced by many Trump supporters illustrate a sobering reality: political choices are not made in a vacuum.
They shape lives, tear families apart, and often hit hardest where empathy failed to reach. As the consequences of these decisions unfold, they highlight the urgent need for informed, compassionate civic engagement—because a vote isn't just a statement; it's a legacy that can either protect or destroy.
This frustates me so much because i have litrally spoken so many people i know who voted for trump that act like this. Honestly it show how much hyper-individualized we are a nation. We are so individualized that people cannot understand nor are able to connect how their vote impacts them or communities that would be close to them.
I have no intention of using the forgiveness I have used through my life on people who voted for Trump. He never hid his cruel, hateful, racist agenda. WTH did they think? Why are so many people motivated by cruelty in America. It shames all Americans.
