I really want folks to put some forgiveness in their hearts and when a Trump voter is shocked or disillusioned, instead of WE TOLD YOU SO it needs to be WE GET THAT YOU WERE LIED TO HERE IS HOW WE CHANGE IT. Like seriously y'all we need to do something not point fingers, even if we want to.

Yes. We need as many people as possible working against the beast system that is our cabinet and it's tentacles (elroy & punchable face Vivek if he's still alive).

They weren’t lied to though. How did we all know about Project 2025 and the plan and they didn’t? Willful ignorance based on racism and sexism got them where they are. I have little sympathy.

Look I get how you feel BUT I have been screaming about creeping Authoritarianism since REAGAN, and most of y'all weren't alive then but still, I have never let up. If I can let 40 years of being mocked by nearly everyone go, because they didn't see what I could, y'all could give it a try.

Yes! Thank you. I know it’s really hard because now we’re all suffering and some of these people have been horrible, but they’ll never learn or want to change if we treat them like scum anytime they get to a point where they understand and might adapt a new mindset.

Still, looks to me they only care about themselves.

Of course that's how it looks to you, that's how it's designed to look "to you". You believe it's only THEM who are told to see US as subhuman? We aren't encouraged to call them 'maggots'? We don't keep an US vs THEM, cagematch attitude-WELL after seeing evidence that they've become disillusioned? 🙄

I’m sorry. But I am European. And it is hard to see MAGA people threaten Canada and even Denmark. We feel backstabbed. And we are scared.

And I'm sorry you're scared, we are scared too. I wish I had better answers for now. Hold on because the wheels of justice crank slowly, and that mess with Merrick Garland was an atrocity. This NEVER should have been allowed to happen. To any of us. It's criminal. I think many of us are in shock.

I think so too. I hope Trump leaves the judiciary in the US intact. But I’m afraid he isn’t. Without trias politica, there can be no Democracy. So I fear for the democracy of the US. The US has been a guide country for Europe for so lang. And now this disaster. Horrible

It's not them, it's trump. And he isn't actually capable of "taking" Canada or Denmark. He's nothing but a schoolyard bully, running his mouth while the real damage is being done to our OWN country by the danger backing him. All these peons do is make noise-until they realize they're 1st to go down.

Exactly. These people were conned. You might've tried to talk sense into them, but they had less reason to trust you than the people that conned them. Be better than the Republicans. Don't victim blame.

No we are not coddling these idiots anymore. If any of them had bothered to watch a single shred of real news in the LAST DECADE they would have known EXACTLY what kind of criminal Don and the rest of the MAGA Cult is

This is probably the way to go, but even as I help disillusioned Trumpers learn what we can do now, I just.... I can't forgive this. Even not knowing the history, the awfulness that wasn't a deal breaker....I wish I was a better person but I cannot.

I’m not at the point of forgiveness yet. These people chose this willingly thinking only other people would suffer. They are crying foul now? Girl, please.

Yep. Now that we are in a constitutional crisis, and some have awakened, they need guidance and education on what to do. We have to show them what to do.

It wasn't that 'we told you so', it was that he told you so. But you said that wasn't what he meant.
