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.
Stand with us against the authoritarianism of Donald Trump. We don’t have billionaire investors, we rely on the support of our readers and viewers to keep our pro-democracy movement growing. Consider becoming a subscriber today.
That's nice, but you know what? Fuck that guy. I'm about to lose my health care, my right to get married and how many other things. As a journalist I will be under increased threat of censorship. I guarantee you that voter is a white heterosexual male who's never spent a second thinking about what life would be like as a vulnerable minority. Whoever you are, thanks for screwing me and millions of other Americans over with your "I got mines" throwaway vote. Your regret will really be comforting to us when we have no affordable healthcare, fewer rights, etc.
These people !!!! I agree every American should have the right to vote, but as with everything else ,apparently it can't be blind. Just like needing to be an age, educated or tested for other life altering acts, apparently voting needs to be added to that category. Voting is the most dangerous action you can make as an American citizen . Your one vote holds people's lives, families and freedoms in peril. I am so grateful I am postmenopausal. Due to estrogen dominance and sexual assault as a teenager, during my entire reproductive history . I had 11 miscarriage and was high risk ectopic pregnancy. Because trump was elected in 2016 ,both would have either cost me my life or put me in jail, for a child I WANTED !!!!
100 percent with you.
I hear you and share your outrage for different reasons.
You're right Josh 🤗💙💙💙💙
Right there with you.
To little to date We tried to sends him down the right path
Right?!? It takes a long time to recover from being a 2nd or 3rd class citizen, and I am terrified that I'm going to be shoved back there after 10-20 years of slow progress. Pre-existing conditions. Marriage equality. Workplace and housing protections. They are much newer and less sacred than Roe v Wade. I don't give a crap that Thiel and Bessent are "completely normal gays" in the administration. Project 2025 is the worst kind of Honey Badger -- it don't give a shit. Even my THERAPIST thinks I'm over reacting. Oh, wait... he's a straight white man. Time for a new therapist? I'm terrified.
Fuck Thiel and Bessent. They are collaborators, therefore traitors. I have nothing in common with anyone like them.
Atone for his mistake. He could make amends by speaking out loud about his mistake to other Trump voters. We, the democrats will be here day after day cleaning up this mess. We have to succeed.
I appreciate TN Brando not shaming this person for their misguided vote. Cult members find it so hard to leave the cult when everyone outside the cult seemingly hates them.
Exactly!!! We can spend time being incredulous at people like “J.M.,” but it only hurts our cause. It’s these very people - the uninformed, misguided, apathetic, those that are in the wide space of people that voted T***p that aren’t necessarily advocating for racism, fascism, misogyny, and the like - we need to treat them like family members that have been sucked into a cult. You’ll lose your loved one to the cult completely if you further alienate them because you question and bash their choices. It needs to be treated delicately. And as stupid as it or they may seem, we’ve got to maintain compassion, even if their choices have hurt us. We need to get these people on the fringes back to sanity, logic, and thoughtfulness when it comes to politics and the state of our democracy. Many of these people don’t even understand what the fuck democracy even is, why it matters, how it is being threatened here and other parts of the world, and what the scary alternative even looks like. It isn’t going to help us one bit to spew anger at these fucking morons (I have to get one off before I fully commit to compassion for blatantly foolish behavior😜) We need to keep a safe space, gently lead or support as these people hopefully have a “come to Jesus” moment. Many won’t, but many will and we need to have open arms to those that have made the regretful decisions - it will only make our strength and numbers grow. 💙
I agree - BECAUSE - we need the increased numbers to minimize the damage Trump’s DOGE crew and vengeance aimed cabinet picks are able to inflict on ALL of us - the American people.
I live among Trump loyalists. But they and their relatives are on disability, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security - you get the idea.
One of the heterosexual, white men commented about Trump’s outrageous Cabinet picks - “Of all the people in America - Trump picks these idiots??? Give me a break - was there no one better???”
Some will start contacting their Senators and Representatives when the money threat gets real.
The last Representative who opposed the ACA in a district I lived in was hung in effigy.
I think he decided to not seek re-election.
we also need to address the fact that approximately 36% of registered voters didn't vote. Do that many people think it doesn't matter who is elected because nothing will change for them?
Maybe it takes a "come to Jesus" moment for ourselves.
The way I expect Jesus would opt for the greater good which would require the stronger brother (tha's us) to seek unity. Someone has to extend first hand, He would it was us. As far as how and all that detail, maybe that was stuff he poured out in long agonizing prayer to His ABBA. Maybe that's what is required of us
We don't have time to hate, like it or not we need to unify everyone, so we can to fight 💪 tRump, if there's one who regrets their choice then there has to be others and we need them all.
Until you've tried everything, you haven't tried everything.
keep trying.
If we force them to remain separated through retribution we are giving Putin his produce.
We can, personally push both ways. But not at the same time. If we believe it matters we will choose freedom. Not the fake "fools gold" that gets sprinkled around the Maga pits.
But the real deal which every true heart, knows. You can't force a people to do wrong.
You just can't.
You can watch them destroy themselves.
That's the cord of ambiguity we hold as a noose or a warning.
too little too late...what the hell did you think would happen⁉️
“Think” would be the operative word here. No evidence of it.
While I have such an overwhelming lump of sympathy in my heart for all those moronic Trump fans that are now realizing they screwed their families, friends and themselves, I harbor an even larger amount of abhorrence towards the cognitively challenged Democrats who think Joe should not have pardoned his son. WTF is wrong with you people. Trump is going to pardon everyone no matter what Joe chose to do. Trump does what Trump does. He does not ask for permission. You think Joe set a precedent just because Hunter is family. You go, Joe. Any father would do anything to save his son from a rabid hoard of Magats. Trump pardoned plenty of people during and especially at the end of his term. Pardons for persons who did much worse and who actually posed threats to our country.
Without a pardon, Hunter would have been mercilessly hounded with further investigations for only one reason. Donald Trump will never stop attacking and endangering any and all who have dared make him look foolish or wrong. Trump would have his minions continue to persecute Hunter to hurt Joe. WHY? Because Donald, the bully, was a loser to Joe in 2020 and he cannot let it go.
So you dummies should be standing with Joe Biden and railing against #45 who pardoned more insidious criminals and who promised to free the Jan 6th Capitol rioters. And from covid to Roe, what I have seen is that Trump makes good on his most destructive thoughts.
I totally agree with you on Biden pardon of Hunter. Hunter's crimes fit into what pardons are to cover - victimless crimes, that he has paid for (paid late taxes already with penalties & only had gun like a day and in his daughter's possession short time & it was dumped), no victim with either. trump/Patel both announced ready to go after Hunter and never let go, if Hunter got prison, trump could make it deadly. Now I want to see Biden doing a whole bunch of other pardons for many individuals/groups that trump has said he will go after and has done so in the past.
Michael Cohen needs a full pardon or Trump will continue coming after him too with the full force of NY BoP & the fake paperwork that Bill Barr cooked up to re incarcerated him after writing his book to silence him. He would have kept hammering on Hunter Biden too. I am glad potus Biden pardoned him but I think maga Congress are going to drum up more lies to investigatehim over anyway. It's all very corrupt & highly illegal but Trump could care less. He's going to be on his retribution tour & money grab from rich supporters under the guise of his inauguration fund that is going directly into his pockets. The next 4 years are going to me more lies, illegal activity, embezzlement, chaos, turbulence & much more. I am very worried about the future of our country.
Trump is going to pardon on the people in jail for January 6th!! What will the GOP say then??!!! It will be crickets! It will be a sadder day when that happens! I plan to wear all black on January 20th. Join me.
I hear you! The problem for the Jan6 thugs is a pardon isn't going to restore their jobs, homes, savings--perhaps even their families because while they are incarcerated Trump hasn't paid their legal fees or bought groceries or paid their rent or house notes.
So Trump's pardon isn't going to get them employment--at least not where they used to work. And, if they were/are small business owners good luck trying to pick up the pieces. He can pardon away. Won't do a bit of good once they realize he won't take their calls or agree to meet with them. It's going to be a giant nothing burger.
Their lives are forever changed and there is nothing they can do about it. Trump is on to his next big con and his fake patriots are out on their bottoms with no way to recover all they've probably lost. I fully expect their initial joy and glee and celebration to quickly turn into raging anger once they realize they will have to sign up for welfare. He's a rabid lying stinking pile of poop and they bought his BS hook line and sinker.
Let's see how long it takes for them to turn to the Resistance. They may come begging, pleading hat in hand to become a part of this movement. They'll be hurt, bruised and broke. I have no intention of ragging on anyone who steps up to beg pardon asking to join hands with this MTN effort. Can't say I'm willing to sit down and break bread--they'll have to show up and prove by words and deeds what they're about. And, if they're thinking they can game the system I have some advice: "Visit the casinos in Vegas."
As for employment, the J6 criminals and family members will have, and have had, ample opportunity to take the physically demanding and dangerous jobs vacated by the immigrants when the orange turd & maga goons round them up for deportation.
Yes, of course. Trump’s problem is who he orders to do the dirty deeds he proposes. Why so? Because just like the GOP sent messages to America that former President Obama was “Coming for your guns” was a lie and law enforcemnt across the land let it be known they were not going to conduct raids against Americans to take their guns away Trump faces the same conundrum this time out.
Nobody wearing a uniform and badge is going to put their lives on the line to attack Americans regarding our constitutional right to bear arms. It didn’t happen during his first administration and it’s not going to happen this time around.
Once he’s seated Congress needs to examine the 25th Amendment and take appropriate legal action against this wanna be dictator. He is a madman suffering from frontal lobe deficiency, Narcissim and zero impulse control.
His insiders will eventually plot against him and that’s when TS will hit TF.
“FAFO”
Trump will take Tario & Rhodes & their violent groups, use them for foot soldiers yet again. They will owe him for the pardon relieving them of 25+ years in prison. Nothing is free with Trump.
THANK YOU 👍👍👍 With this same bullshit coming from the Democrats, it just reminds me of why we LOST (maybe even handed over) the election. We couldn't afford to hold back . I am inclined to take the high road, and prefer using humor, but nothing Trump did the first time around was funny and he's even worse. Now with total immunity, I shudder thinking what we have in store...
Enough said. We fight on, gloves off this time.
Absolutely!!! You said exactly what I've been thinking and you said it so much better than I could have. It's infuriating when Democrats attack our own. If we can't have any unity in our opposition, we'll never pull ourselves out of this mess.
Biden should have simply been honest about the reason behind the pardon & he wouldn't have suffered as much backlash. By Harris losing the election, and Patel being appointed to the FBI, it completely changed everything he stated prior to the election. As a father, he's protecting his son due to the inevitable danger. Again, Biden & the democrats have a problem with messaging and trying to always take the high road instead of being savvy. Biden needs to now pardon all of those on the enemies list as well. He owes it to the people who have risked their careers and lives for democracy. Mainstream media needed to call his obvious reasoning out too. Mainstream media has been a huge disappointment in not adamantly supporting democracy.
I honestly believe that Joe may not have pardoned his son had the rabid MAGA crowd not scored the Congress and the White House. Had he felt his son was safe in 2025 from the never ending attacks that were entirely designed to hurt Joe, Hunter might have served his upcoming sentence. Now Joe should pardon all those other patriots, the Democrats, Republicans and independent civil servants who did their jobs and tried to protect our country from Trump. They also need protection from the WRATH of DON. Where is Captain Kirk when you need him?
Exactly, feel the same way !
This is Brexit on steroids. 60% of Brit’s voted for Brexit; almost all had buyer’s remorse. Many said it was a protest vote, but most thought it never would pass.
What it all has in common with the US, is the fact that both the Brit’s, and Americans, were inundated with disinformation campaigns by foreign actors, and actual politicians bought and paid for by Putin and his friends…:)
This is all the predicted workings of a revenge plot by Putin. This has been carefully orchestrated. The Russian influence in Florida is incredible. The plan has many layers and many of the physical active don't even know what they are doing. They simply live their lives and yield control to their handlers (visa consultants lol)..
Check immigration records for Russia as country of departure.
I don't trust the election results, because their was no noise. No trump and countless minions yelling steal thief.
It went too smooth It feels like a fugue state. Something is off.
Trump kept saying he didn't need any votes. Confidently. He changed at one point.
Something is amiss.
Fox News is piped in to every US Military base IN THE WORLD, with few exceptions.
If Fox was all you heard your single brain cell starved itself to death.
This is only one of the dozens of things Democrats have failed to fix.
Status quo is NO GO.
Fix the flaws. If you can't see them come around we'll show you.
Where was democrat attitude day 1 of this shit train?
Why no contests? Because that was only in the past?
How come no election flaws?
Every election has some flaws? Thjis one? Nu uuuH.
I feel like a fox terrier's favorite rag chew. Shake, shake shake.
And Fox is definitely a brain washing machine! I watched the last year of my father’s life go downhill watching Fox. It’s disgusting!
There does not seem to be anybody who is seeking truth and justice aggressively. WE are like rats in an experiment where observers black off routes in a labyrinth. We can't see the data we need to free ourselves.
We can see what is coming & are powerless to stop it from happening. All because McConnell & R Senate decided not to convict & impeach the orange traitor... TWICE.. punting him to the DOJ who failed to take him to trial & allowing him to run & be elected again. McConnell is the #1 person in the Senate who has done the most damage to this country & the least to help his state. Congressman James Comer Pyle R-KY is no better & also has done absolutely nothing for his constituents in his district either. He's too busy wasting millions of dollars of taxpayers money chasing Russian propaganda & Trump/Giuliani lies to never ending "investigations" of Hunter Biden & POTUS Biden for made up BS that never happened. The Russian "whistleblower" who informed lies to the FBI just pleaded guilty to lying & knowingly participation in the ruse. He is going to prision. Next should be Jordan, Comer, MTG & the rest who participated in the frame up clown show.
I think the voting & or tabulation machines in the swing states that received 30+ bomb threats from Russia on election day & forced evacuations had prior malicious software loaded into them prior to the election to activate at certain date & times. Musk was involved in the election with Trump, Trump saying he didn't need any more votes 3 weeks before the election & that he & SOH Johnson had a secret at the MSG rally. Vance is highly involved with Peter Thiel. Between Thiel & Musk they could have easily altered enough software to throw the election to Trump & a recount would show nothing off. A forensic audit of those machines by highly competent experts in coding would be able to see abnormalities & it should be done.
Well spoken! It's hard to be understanding when there such devastating consequences to so many citizens. But we do need to educate voters like JM, so as my grandmother used to say "You attract more bees with honey than vinegar". And bravo for putting in one sentence of frustration/anger and bewilderment for those of us that voted based on a commitment to an informed vote.
This wasn't some student council election at your local high school that nobody will remember in 5 years. This was an election for freaking President of the United States! And this guy decided, for what s***s and giggles??, to vote for an autocratic, mentally unstable criminal? As though that wouldn't have DIRE consequences for everyone in this country, and potentially around the world? WTAF???
It's good that he regrets his vote, but that doesn't amount to squat compared to the damage that will be done to loads of innocent people who took this election seriously and voted based on facts and morality. This one guy's regret is salt in the wounds of people who will potentially lose their health care, including veterans; their right to marry; their right to travel freely to seek abortion care, to speak their minds freely without fear of doxxing or swatting. This isn't reality TV, it's real life. And this guy's careless attitude about voting is going to hurt millions of people. He doesn't have enough regret for that.
Well said! Salt in the wound is one of many reasons I don't watch MSM anymore and get my news solely from MTN. As Ben says, people like this regretful guy voted against their own interests. I'm really angry with every single one of them. To get a driver's license, we have to take a written test and a driving test. Why? Because a car is deadly if you don't know how to drive. The same standard should apply to voting. Because your vote for a sociopathic dictator can literally kill people! Every person who votes should have to take a civics class to learn about democracy (including myself) and learn why their vote matters.
One of my friends is married to a federal worker, and right now they're living in fear that he'll lose his job before his planned retirement in a couple of years. I'd like this guy to tell them all about his 'regret'.
Exactly!! The purposefully uninformed just should not vote. They have no idea what they have done until after the fact and way to late to fix it. Did he have his head jammed into the sand, not pay attention during Trumps first 4 years, the chaotic s**t show that it was & the fall out that potus Biden had to fix?? How can anyone think it would be any better a second time around & elect him as a unanimous jury convicted fellon & unanimous jury convicted sexual abuser & defamation?.
What you are doing is great , bc you are needed to get thru to those people in those tiny rural towns that's have one stoplight. I appreciate you , and hope you will be an asset with your voice come the midterms
The 1st step of standing against tyranny is your vote JM. No election is as important as the presidential election. You are obligated as a citizen to be an informed voter BEFORE YOU VOTE! Are you aware that Fox "news" spent 3/4 of a billion dollars for the dishonesty they showed to you and your friends in order to protect their ratings? Do you know that Deadbeat Donnie has lied to you over 40,000 times? Tennessee Brando might not want to give you a hard time, but as a veteran who served this country and defended your right to vote I'm disappointed that you couldn't find the time to make your vote count towards the democracy that I defended and helped to usher in its demise.
Thank you for your service.
We appreciate you as well! 💙🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing the comments. It is heartbreaking what so many have chosen... keep being a Blue Dot, wisdom takes persistence; finding and sharing the truth of things
Sigh....people need to pay attention.😞
The perfect object lesson on FAFO
Which Brando video? Helpful to know what is effective at changing minds.
Tennessee Brando has been putting out his videos for some time I've seen several on YouTube and I believe he posts on TikTok regularly but don't quote me.
Bigotry overcame patriotism.
We can only suggest that these people use their regret to reach out to their Senators to ask them to push back on Trump’s nominees and worst policies, and vote Dem in future elections. “Vote for Democrats. They vote for us.”
Imagine if all the JM's out there came to realize how policies of the criminal incoming P, were going to affect them.
Now, fast forward to 2026 midterms. All the JM's show up to their voting locations and pull the lever for Dems, giving the Dems majority control of the House and Senate, and leaving the criminal P without a way to further his (and The Hetitage Foundation's) project 2025 agenda.
I see him trying to get so many of his "promises" through in these first 18 months, and am thankful there are Mayor's and Governor's around the country gearing up to fight in court against the P25 policies which will severely damage everything and everyone, and could slow down the implementation of his disastrous policies.
I hope JM does a deep dive into P25, watches the rallies on youtube, and shares what he learns with all of those in his circle. We can stop the madness in 2026.
Manifesting....🙏🙏🙏
Why we need them.
Suck on it, tRumper.
We tried to tell you!
Hopefully this anonymous Trump voter will educate those around him.
I agree with everything you said 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Always welcome anyone who has opened their eyes and see.
From one Tennessean in a very red state (originally a blue one) thanks, your message great needed to go out months ago.
Too late! We know that Trump is a liar and a cheat way before 2016. Why people voted for him? Is there a law that can reverse the latest vote based on lies?
I love this thank you so much!👍💙💙💙💙👍
Wow! Some really dumb people out there...good luck when you lose your social security and health care.
I love this guy!! You are great. Keep up the good fight down there.
And Midterms are coming up, another way to maybe get some guardrails, every vote matters. As for asking them what they thought would happen, that's the problem, they DIDN'T think. About any of it at all. They don't get that everything that's going to happen to US is going to happen to THEM also. I read about an attempted coup in South Korea the other day. The opposition won out, then today, the French government "collapsed". Democracies everywhere are having problems. But ours is so.much.worse. Why? Because the 2nd Amendment has been twisted into a pretzel that has caused a giant proliferation of weapons that are not available to the average person pretty much anywhere else. Love to all and stay safe, and love to you, Brando.
dumb f
He promised lowered eggs prices & deportation... So there
I am of two minds. On the one hand, I appreciate the voter's honesty in admitting they made a mistake. But on the other hand, why didn't this person do a simple Google search to find out the truth about Trump and his policies? What makes me angry is that Trump won on sheer ignorance. People that were too lazy or just plain ignorant to make an informed decision and vote in a responsible way.
People will start caring about TARRIFFS when the prices of everything goes up.
They’ll blame Biden and Democrats. Mark my words.
I give this person alot of credit for realizing they made a huge mistake. BUT we're stuck with trump.
I would ask this person if they've learned anything from this ???
Pay close attention to what the candidates are SAYING AND What they're DOING !! Because alot of time, they're DOING far different than what they're SAYING
Exactly that! Everyone is able to look up people's voting records too. What they say, and what they actually do, are sometimes two different things. And as far as the orange buffoon, he touts that he's for unions to MAGAts, but he isn't. And you know this by his inaction for unions.
I understand, everyone's disdain for JM. However, the fact that he reached out to Tennessee is perhaps a lifting of the veil. The astonishing part for me is that Latino, Black, Jewish, Muslim, and Union voters cast for trump. The very people he despises the most. I understand the anger at any and all trump voters. Let us not forget trumps very words. " I love the uneducated."
Let's not forget veterans of all ages. Trump is a coward who has repeatedly disparaged veterans AND active-duty military. Yet they remain one of his most loyal voting blocs.
Agreed Josh, My great uncle fought as a gunner in a B52 Bomber in WWII. I will never understand any veteran who would vote for a man who called for the execution of General Mark Milley. Somehow, his sickness infected too many in this country and we need to ask ourselves why.
Anyone catch Dollemore today? A union steelworker in Monongahela voted for Donny, then went on a stage at some conference & said he felt "gut-punched". Hilarious! He was filmed at a rally endorsing him. It was about Nippon Steel buying into a US steel plant. But guess what? Donny nixed it!!!! He'll reap what he sowed. No sympathy.
How can anyone not care for the women of this country? What happens if Trump selects someone to lead our military who is a Christian Nationalists? Who will deny abortion care to female members of the military? Under the heading of “ government efficiency” TX is already not reporting maternal deaths caused by withholding abortion care.
When I was growing up my dad always voted. He told me you vote for whoever you think will do their best for you. Besides if you do not vote you have no right to complain when they do not. I have always voted and have complained when I did not like the outcome. During Nixon's second election where I worked after the election, you could not find anyone that did not vote for him among my coworkers. After he resigned you could not find anyone that would admit that they did vote for him. I think in a year or two we will see that here. i WILL NOT let them off the hook that easy.
This guy basically said instead of being informed he would rather risk trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube !!!!
Brandon Tennessee keep spreading the bad news about Trump and his flunkies!!! Thank You, I love watching you... God Bless.. 👍🏽
I'm reading "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder. What we all do grows freedom. Very good.

AN OPEN LETTER TO MY GLOATING MAGA NEIGHBOR
You Know Who You Are: Your House Still Draped in MAGA Banners, Red Hat Firmly on Your Head, and Truck Plastered with Trump Stickers
Hope. NONE of the orange baby man's clown show would be happening if he was disqualified day one after forensic psychiatrist Dr Bandy X Lee's report of the five dangerous mental pathologies of Donald Trump.

What I told all my R friends, who were getting their news from Newsmax, and not listening to me was, "I absolutely want the next four years to be peaceful and prosperous. But - and it's a big but - if it all goes to shit, I'm holding you personally responsible. Because you had the chance to do the right thing and you preferred the lying felon.
Blue-dot-in-GA here, thank you for speaking out! It's so hard living in a red state. 97% of my town voted for fascism. I'm one of the proud 3% who didn't. Thank you for trying to educate these people. It is so easy to feel alone when you are the only 1 in town refusing to don the MAGA hat, but knowing you, and others like you, are just a state away, is so comforting. I'm trying to raise awareness here in GA, despite wanting to flee to a blue state. Thank you for staying in the fight, and encouraging the rest of us who are right there with you.
Yes, elections have consequences, and thanks to this guy and millions of idiots like him we have to pay the consequences.
JM says that he doesn’t care about tariffs. Oh, he’ll care. When he can’t get his car parts, or T-shirts, when avocados are 10.00 each and his favorite bar stops serving guacamole, when he can’t buy eggs or meat or chicken because the immigrants are gone and Bubba won’t work at a processor,when the company he works for goes out of business because the materials they need to make the stuff they make is either unavailable or outrageously expensive and he goes to sign up for government benefits and there aren’t any, when Meemaw’s social security check stops coming, he’ll care.
Brando should speak at the DNC or the midterm equivalent...his speaking is very compelling: truthful, clear humble wisdom that would reach alot of people..(.the JM from his story and well beyond)...
I.m from northeast US....relocated to the southwest....would people in the southeast listen to someone like me?...Nope...
But they might listen to Brando...for sure...
Buyers remorse in real time. You have no one to blame but yourself. You voted for this mess, you deal with it like the rest of us. That's the problem with magas, they think they are part of the one percent and that everything affects "the other guy".
I just completely threw a relative out of my life because she voted against my rights, and I told her so. No way. I am everything Trump would shoot between the eyes. No way.
They are going to be a lot of them that are going to be sorry for voting for Trump because he has told us many times who he is and when someone tells you who they are you should believe them. And I have never voted for Trump. I am glad I voted for Harris, Biden, Obama, Clinton, and Hillary too!! I stop listening to main cable news election night because they are giving us news for rating, and I want the truth not just for rating. I felt they were not giving the complete truth I stop watching them. I been watching podcast instead of the cable news.
TN Brando, thank you for being a Voice of Reasoning in a Red Sea.
I don't feel sorry for anyone who voted for the orange maggot. Everyone knew the consequences of casting a vote his way, now eat it. You had a chance to vote for a real President, just like everyone else. Oh, wahhhhhh
Voting is a huge responsibility. I feel it’s my duty to research people who run for office. Maybe things will change. I hope so. People died for the right to vote.
This just shows how apathetic Americans can be. I wonder if teaching Civics again in schools would affect this. Voting is a right and a privilege and it should be taken seriously...you don't know what you got until it's gone but that sure as shit is not going to help us now! I do not accept that guy's "apology" if that's what you call it.
They all need to go to the Lincoln Memorial and read the inspirational letters on the walls! Then go to the FDR Memorial and do the same. Then maybe go to a civics class to see how democracy works. We will all be better off.
This makes me sick to my stomach because I think a lot of other people probably did the same thing as that guy did. People need to become better educated and name-calling won’t get them to listen. Trust me I’m angry as hell too, but can we PLEASE help @MeidasTouch and @TennesseeBrando get the word out that EVERY VOTE MATTERS??
JM is a stupid POS. He will not fight against tyranny he doesn't even know what it means. Fuck him and all others like him. I hope he received the worst of FAFO. But, thank you for the video confirming MAGAts are exactly what I think they are.
told you so
I love this guy
I saw the video. The man did NO research on any of the candidates, voted for Trump thinking he wouldn't win, voted for Trump out of "morbid" something (not curiosity, maybe fascination), and it was complete disrespect for the election. That guy can go F himself.

The 2024 DNC Presidental Campaign
- Silence for 3 years, 7 months
- Campaign 5 months in swing states
The 2024 RNC Presidential Campaign
- 4 years constant FOX campaign for GOP's in all 50 states
From Hopium Chronicles on SubStack.
We need a more robust 24/7/365 pro-democracy media we discussed yesterday, but we also need a more aggressive Democratic Party-led strategy to engage Democratic voters in all 50 states to drive turnout in every election, in every state. The Democratic Party and our Presidential campaigns have to be more than just 7 battleground states.

How to Stop Authoritarians Before They Start
🔸️FITNESS FOR DUTY EVALUATIONS that are mandatory, like the military for high responsibility positions, would have stopped Trump before he got within a mile of the White House.
Bandy X Lee, Steven Hassan, and 100 other psychiatrists agree Trump has five dangerous mental pathologies as listed in the books "The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" and "The Psychology Of Trump Contagion - An Existential Threat to American Democracy and All Humankind".
"Containing Trump Contagion and Healing from Mental Pathology in Politics"
https://youtu.be/HTkCqU5LM-k?si=f6g0PolglC21w1nR
🔸️Fitness for Duty Evaluations start with everyone who interacts with the individual in question, and when red flags start to appear, 'say something.'
The US Military has procedures to follow that require individuals in question to have a Fitness for Duty Evaluation. Voters must demand the House and Senate do the same.
"Stephen Xenakis- Fitness for Duty Exams: Preventing Autocratic Abuse"
https://youtu.be/vdtChF07ryU?si=VJ5dauWFoUQg10uH
🔸️Outside the military are professionals like Dr. Bandy X. Lee who has several dozen colleagues all of whom are highly qualified to do Fitness for Duty Evaluations.
The U.S. House and Senate have several mechanisms to enforce their rules, including:
* Leadership
* Committees
* Floor Procedures
* Party Discipline
It's important to note that these mechanisms are not always used consistently or effectively. The more voters demand mentally fit leaders the more the House and Senate will comply.
🔸️I like what forensic psychologist Dr. Bandy X. Lee says that fascism and authoritarianism are just dangerous mental pathologies that worm their way into politics.
Everyone on Earth deserves and demands leadership that is mentally fit.
Fitness for Duty Evaluations performed by well respected psychiatrists ensures every country has leaders who do not serve their own power, but serve their own people.
With a pool of mentally fit candidates, we then have all the elections we wish.
🔸️"Trump.. meets diagnostic criteria from the DSM-5 for five personality disorders! These are: 1) narcissistic; 2) antisocial; 3) psychopathic, which has more lack of remorse; 4) paranoid; and 5) grandiose and paranoid delusional disorders."
So, yes, both Biden and Harris would likely pass with flying colors any Fitness for Duty Evaluations

What scares me is that as a disabled 64 yr old living on social security and medicare, if they take any amount back on either program, it will finish me. I barely make it as it is. Did these MAGAs not realize what harm this presidency can do for their family and friends.
Well, an anonymous mea culpa is nice. And safe. My question is, what is this newly enlightened MAGA-adjacent person actually going to do about it? His buyer's remorse is useless for the rest of us who will suffer right along with him & others who got us into this mess. So, what is he going to do to make anything better?
All i want is for folks in every job to get at least a living wage ($20 /hr last i checked) , everyone pay their fair share of taxes ( via a value added tax as in Europe) , and folks not sleeping on the grates in New York City. It is possible but it might mean you'll have to give up your addiction to apple iphones, nail salons, and 'the boy' mowing your yard.
So far 14 billionaires selected .. Its not a democracy .. its a kleptocracy .. look it up .
Anyone like 'jm' is not a thinking person or understands the history of the US or obviously served in military. No excuse for ignorance dude.
Too little, too late. To hell with everyone who voted for dismantling our Constitution, whether through ignorance or hatred.
Damn right! I appreciate his honesty.
As Brandon once mentioned the term “woke” originated from being AWARE. So, does being against “woke” means to being UNaware? Or not informed ? Too many Woke politicians?
This is excellent . We are lucky to have Tennessee Brando! Keep on doing this courageous work!
Thank you. Nicely said. It is good to hear thoughts that I think of. Please keep this up!
You are a bigger person than me Brando. People like that have made America a place I don't recognize. NO pass from me. Sorry
Glad he has seen the "light" but he gets no sympathy from me. Just like any kid growing up who used the same excuse for their misdeeds, it does not excuse them from the consequences. And any of these folks who come out and beg for financial help due to dropped insurance, health care, social security, etc. or need funding in an underfunded FEMA action, they will not get a dime from me. I will remind them that their Donald Trump was going to fix it and that is who they need to be begging to as Donald Trump will be laughing back in their faces.
"You can lead a horse's ass to knowledge but you cannot make them think".
We will reach higher numbers. Subscribing and paying the yearly prescription for MTN, is not a waste of money.
I have suspected that many voters are lazy about doing their due diligence. I have been a poll worker for many years and it's amazing how many times voters would expect me to hand them a ballot while asking me who is on the ballot - I feel like refusing to give them a ballot. So very disturbing.
FTG I'm going to lose my VA disability because of this asshat. Just no.
If JM truly regrets his vote, then he should work hard NOW to fight fascism. Don’t wait. He needs to pay attention to what’s happening, write letters and call his representatives, donate money to all of the causes/people that will be hurt by the incoming administration. He and others like him are responsible for what’s going to happen. Apologies and regret aren’t enough. We need them to work and fight.
We have to protect the magas whether they want us too or not. I've been posting that tRump buyers remorse will be harsh, bad and epic. Truth is we are going to need them if and when the tRump kool-aid wears off. Remember conman do not like it when their marks wise up. The fight is just starting and with all of what we stand to lose.
Magas think they are owning the libs some are just starting to realize that they sold their souls to tRump cheaply and don't own anything not even themselves.
Thank you Tennessee Brando for sharing this very misguided, uninformed Trump voter's email. I think you handled this matter well. It will not serve us well to bash people that wasted their vote on Trump. He's a con man!! A lot of people, evidently, voted for Trump for one reason or many reasons. But the Democrats need to get out there, talk to these people who now regret their vote, which will be more and more, after Trump becomes President. Because the mid terms will be less than 2 yrs away in January 2025 and the Dems can flip both the House and the Senate in 2026!! Thanks for your contribution to Medias Touch. Love your videos. KC from TX 🤠🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💙💙
When voting..it should be imperative that people research the parties. Inform themselves on the platforms these candidates stand for. The right wing news outlets are doing a disservice. Do your homework. We all suffer the consequences of not doing your homework
Hey Tennessee Brando. I appreciate everything you are doing. I live in SC and a high school friend from back home in Pennsylvania told me he voted for Trump in 2016 and in 2020. After January 6th happened, he said Trump was an asshole and he shouldn't be President. Fast forward to this election and my friend told me he will vote for Trump again. I told my friend that during Trump's first term, I lost over $4,000 a year in my tax returns due to Trump rewriting the tax write-offs. My friend said that he lost over $9,000 each year. So, I asked him why he was voting for Trump. We had a long conversation and he seemed to understand and agree with me about the dangers and the policies that will directly affect us. On Election Day, my friend still voted for Trump. I asked him if he makes over $500,000 a year. He responded that he makes no where near that. I reaffirmed to him that if he was making less than that, there isn't a single benefit to voting for any republican including Trump. Why is it so hard to get through to Trump's supporters? It can be laid out in black and white and they still don't get it. I hope you can give me your opinion on this. Thank you. Donato Rinaldi
Because it's not about facts for them--it's about feelings. That's the irony. They accuse Democrats of being 'snowflakes,' but we vote according to facts. I don't know what he told you, but clearly your friend understands the economic consequences of voting for Trump, which leads me to believe that whatever his reason for voting for him was it had nothing to do with money. Maybe he is afraid of losing his privilege. That's why a lot of men support him. It doesn't sound like he is putting much rational thought into his voting.
Thank you for bringing attention to this problem of voters not really paying attention to politicians and what they actually stand for. All of us need to be sure whether candidates at all levels are sincere or are they lying just to fool voters. I could never understand voters not paying attention. There's too much to be lost to the charlatans!
Thanks. Well said.
I am very glad the t/rump voter has seen the light. However, the light he is seeing is one from a sinking ship. When he cast his vote for t/rump he put in motion the real chance that he will never get to vote again. I am not going to just forgive a forget when it comes to how he voted. There were manny, many, many warnings out there about t/rump. You had to have engaged in extreme cognitive dissonance or willful ignorance to not see the danger t/rump presents. So the post election come to Jesus moment is a day late and a dollar short. Bottom line: he has made his bed and like the rest of us, he will find out the consequences of his vote.
Proofread much?
I’m still too far in the anger stage to offer my compassion for JM and what he did to strip peoples rights away from them. But I also recognize that at some point, if we are lucky (can’t believe I’m even saying this) enough to pull enough of them from the hellscape of fascist thought and restored democracy, we will have to do it. It won’t be for THEM, it’ll be for US.
If JM would like to start fixing what he helped create, he can go on the “Leaving MAGA” podcast. He’s so close …
Me to, Tennessee red state pretty sad
It's too late now.
Because Kamala is a strong black woman that's why BUTTHURT men
We are not maga we don't do what they do. You got the dictatorship follow the stupid king 🤴
I agree that the voter who has remorse over his ill-placed vote for the Orange Traitor should not be harassed. We teach our kids to be honest but it is too late for buyers remorse. Those who voted for the Orange Traitor to protect their patriarchy, are self-serving idiots. The Hispanic bloc that voted against Harris because she wasn't male deserve all the evil that is coming for them with the deportation. We need to make voting mandatory for all citizens and require them to vote intelligently not as a knee-jerk reaction. I am too angry over the Orange Traitor's election to have any sympathy for those who are regretting their votes.
IT'S CERTAINLY WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO THE NEWS. He would have nothing to grab the headlines with no scandals. And I might begin in watching the news again.
It absolutely kills me hearing people, days after voting for the orange monster, say they regret their vote!!! Can we just send ya'll to another planet? Seriously, if ya weren't willing to see what he was when you picked him up, how dare you whine about it now!! We have to suffer because of your damn stubborn ignorance! Go stick it where the sun doesn't shine!
I like your program very much so I'll take your ring as a little attention and I like your dream catcher.And I like to flag in the background
You know, we need to figure out some way not to get Trump in office. I need people that go for him. Have a wide awakening and they're going to have to deal with what they're going to question are for revoting a man I am on the disabled, and I'm a senior citizen and it scares the holy c*** Wanted me to think about me. Not having my medicare or medical or my social security disabut. The thing is, I'm always going to make it. These people that vote for him are not gonna make it. They don't know how to make ends meet. But Doctor finances and there goes most of our jobs. They go to to jobs that the Mexican and Spanish people would do. Is that a white or black man would not even think about picking? Anything in our great fields or fruit vendors or fruits for vegetables. And it really makes me angry that these people bother for him, especially when they to even watch his relatives or even listen to him or anything else or just vote for him. I feel sorry for everyone of you that voter for him. I am strong in my face and by the Laurel, mighty, we will make it.I'm just wishing Trump would fall over dead with a heart attack or a stroke.He doesn't look well at all.Maybe he'll die before.He can even get an operation on January 9th.Well I'll try to god that'll happen
There was way to much information out there for ppl to make me believe that they didn't know The Canidadon't. And their backgrounds,failures,accomplishments, political views on all things related to our rights,freedoms, economy, especially how we as a Whole Country going forward after the election would either move forward or go backwards, policies or concepts of a plan, campaign promises, nor will they ever convince me it had nothing to do with age,sex or race or to convince me that they didn't know what they were Choosing with their Vote, failure to use their vote or just used their vote as a game piece 🙅🏻 nope I'm calling 🤥you a liar. Yes 🙄okay Peace, Compassion, Forgiveness,Understanding and all that, but sorry I'm just not there with those ppl yet 😕 I don't know how to fight like he** and kiss and makeup at the same time 🤷♀️sorry I just dont.
Thank you for sharing with us! It’s good to hear others out there who are also surrounded by the red when you are a blue dot!
I'm so tired of seeing these, " I regret voting for Trump". Oh fucking well, what good does him being regretful about his vote going to change anything ?? Maybe he should have done his research BEFORE he voted.
Thank you for your respectful and sober commentary.
Can we make january 6th a dat of mourning? Wear black. Flags at half staff. All democrats in congress should do that. They riot, we just hand wring
Unfortunately, this is just one more example of how disengaged the American electorate has become. People do not fully comprehend how government functions and the effects on their lives from bad policies.
People want to yell from the rooftops about the loss of freedom under Democrats, and yet all I see from the Right is the suspension and elimination of personal freedoms. Whether it is a woman’s bodily autonomy, removing books from libraries or taking healthcare away from millions of Americans, the Right has aggressively assailed individual freedom and liberties.
I have no sympathy for people having voter’s remorse. Paraphrasing what Dennis Green once famously said, “Trump is what we thought he was.” The calamity that will come in the wake of a second Trump administration cannot be conveniently blamed on, “I didn’t know better.”
PLEASE BE CAREFUL TO SOURCE THE VERACITY OF THESE CLAIMS. THE RUSSIANS ARE PAYING PEOPLE TO SPREAD THESE KINDS OF VIDEOS IN ORDER TO DIVIDE US BY PARTY AND CLASS. It's probably too soon after the election for most uninformed voters to realize they made a mistake. Please be dubious about the source.
They have already done that it is up to all of us to get this country reunited.
