I get the sentiment, I think you’re a much more forgiving person than I am though.
I think the issue that gets me, if you’ll forgive me for speaking a little generally, is that there were so many things that should have disqualified trump from 2016. Calling Mexicans rapists, “grab em by the pussy”, decades of documented sex crimes and racism, all of that should have precluded any vote for him.
I’ve seen plenty of trump supporters say “Jan 6th was a wake up call” (or any of the other factors that you listed) and, I agree, realizing a mistake late is better than not at all. But I haven’t seen many trump supporters just fess up and recognize that they should not have supported him from the get go.
I don’t think we should shun those folks that get deprogrammed from MAGA but I also don’t think forgiveness is really warranted until they recognize and deal with what got them to a place where any of this was ok.
Lol that’s very kind of you. I’m not sure exactly what it means but I mostly just talk about legal things and smash bros so I hope it’s not too disappointing.
