That follow-up barely counts for anything when it's used as an opportunity to humblebrag ("I'm a man on honor") and backtrack ("well ackshually Trump 2.0 is very different, other than that I was totally right, you know! ☝️🤓"). Nowadays I am finding it increasingly difficult to be forgiving of people who believe, trust, and worship Trump, especially after the decades of Trump proving himself to be an evil charlatan.
I get it- but IMO the lion's share of the anger should be directed not at my fellow countrymen who were tricked, but at the cronies who did the manipulating. Believe me, die hard MAGA nuts drive me up the fuckin wall too- but as things get worse and more and more of them start to snap out of it, and admit they were wrong, for things to get any better we have to try our best not to turn them away.
I like your perspective and I respect it. I just find it really difficult with the ones who glorify cruelty. Not all of them are well meaning naïve people.
Yes certainly. There are deplorable shitheads who came out of the woodwork and showed their true colors, and they should not be forgiven. But there are others who were fooled, and blind to the warnings aroun them- and those folks we should try our best to rehabilitate when they snap out of their delusion.
