Republican regrets as leopard turns on them: Maddow's summary [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Last night Maddow had a great segment on some Republican regrets as they find out how bad tRump’s policies are for them.
Jump below the fold for the video and the summary!
Don’t want to watch? Here are what the GOP politicians were saying:
Governor Youngkin (Virginia) as so many federal workers are losing their jobs — and of course VA has a lot of federal workers. He feels their pain (still bows to tRump and says they were necessary) but he will come up with a plan to help (yeah, right). Note that Virginia has its elections in off years, that is to say, this year.
Senator Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) want exemptions for tribes in her state.
Senator Chuck Grassley (Iowa) wants exemptions for the farmers in his state.
Rep Salazar (Florida) is asking for deportation exemptions
Senator Katie Britt (Alabama) is horrified about what the cuts to science and tech could do to Huntsville and wants exemptions
Senator Susan Collins (Maine) wants exemptions for the cuts to medical research in Maine

Maddow then has some bits from the Wall Street Journal, who interviewed a few tRump voters who regret their votes and wish they could take them back.
Note these are the people who are speaking up. We can assume there are more.
Does this matter? She points out that tRump is more likely to be constrained by his voters and his party than by people on our side.
Please include more examples if you have them, and have a great day!

🐦 I do a lot of other writing. Newest offering! Messing with the Myths: The Maxotaur. Older offerings: the Crow Nickels (chronicles), a trilogy about crows who want to save birdkind from extinction: Hunters of the Feather, Scavengers of Mind and Familiars of the Flock (They’re really good! They’re really cheap! Buy and review or rate positively! And Hunters is also available on Audible!) Other stories, based on Jane Austen novels — such as The Meryton Murders — and others based on history and Greek mythology, such as Jocasta: The Mother-Wife of Oedipus, can be found here. All titles are available through Kindle Unlimited, but I only get paid if you turn the pages.
