I wouldn't just say its troll's remorse, Merry doesn't want to lose his money and leftist friend group.
If you visit the TYT thread, reminds me of Krystal Ball and her pet cuck husband Kyle Kulinski. Just a few years ago they both argued against voting for Democrats/Biden but now are kissing the party's ass hard and are full on vote blue no matter who and Democrats are a million times better. Allegedly they got massive shit from their more establishment friends and Chunky Yogurt for those old arguments.
