Normally, I’d agree with your last sentence, but I’m not giving any of these people (people who dismissed what Trump said he will do as an exaggeration, joke or hoax—and insulted anyone who believed them) any credit. Feel free to give them any credit you think they deserve.
So there's ZERO difference between a person who says it won't happen and then admits they were wrong, versus a person who just downright refuses to admit they were wrong about it? Who just deletes the tweet and pretends it didn't happen? Who tries to twist it into still being true? The one who admits they're wrong gets ZERO credit for that?
I’m trying to understand because (a) it makes no sense to me how there could be no difference between these two and (b) I think it’s bad because it disincentivizes people admitting they were wrong, if people just say “well f you anyways” there’s no reason for anyone to come around. Have to be able to forgive or there’s no point
