I’ve always tried to admit I was wrong as soon as I realized it. Admitting your wrong gets you massive amounts of respect in life. Honestly I’d say admitting a mistake gets you more respect than actually being right in the first place.
It might be a little late in the game for trump supporters to get “more respect” than never going with trump at all… I’m just speaking in general. People respond very very well to “I messed up, I know that now”
Edit: in the professional world I’ve many times taken blame for mistakes I didn’t even do. When the boss is waiting for the culprit to stand up and no one is “sorry that was me, I just thought yada yada yada” the boss respects you more and the person you took the bullet for is now your best ally.
Edit 2: on the evil side of that. If you fuck up bad enough you don’t want to get caught you have that gaslight in your pocket “I’ve always come clean when it was me. I’ve always taken my lumps for my mistakes. i would tell you if it were me. You know that”
It is deeper than “never a loser”
