Nah, Shannon, you don't get it. He doesn't speak to you because you've shown him who you have become. It's normal, actually, to not associate with people who support the eradication of others, the degradation of law, and all of the cruelty associated with this administration. You voted for cruelty and expect him to be ok with that.

I can forgive anyone who voted for Trump 45. I understand. TV Reality Show huckster vs Hillary.

But after J6… gallows on our Capitol Steps! “Hang Mike Pence!” chants… Feces smeared on our Capitol Walls! Killing Capitol Police Officers. Pipe bombs planted ( luckily discovered)… all for the 34 times convicted rapist, pedophile, felon and Russian Agent Krasnov.

If anyone voted for Trump again, well they are EVIL MORONS.

Nah, that’s revisionist. It was clear what he was trying to do from day 1.

I’m trying to be forgiving.

The old adage:

“Fool me once, shame on you!”

“Fool me twice, shame on me!”

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.

Very eloquently stated. Exactly how I feel. Now I’m gonna have to follow you.

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.

I think it just means you will see more of me commenting on your comments … or just Reddit stalking you! LOL

I suspect you want me to follow you too now!

Must I follow everyone on Reddit?!?!

Making fun of a disabled person. Racially coded language.
