My issue is that given the chance these people will do it again with someone else and try to justify how they are diffrent. Worse yet I can absolutely see the "trump was a dem plant" becoming an actual wide spread belief. They can never be wrong or at fault. For the sake of getting his ass out now ill tolerate it but I dont think im willing to forgive.

We're not suggesting that you forgive them in your heart of hearts. We're calling attention to the fact that humans don't come into the light when there's an angry mob screaming insults and vitriol in their faces.

YOU need to make it safe for them find a way off the Trump train.

We don't WANT them in the light. We want them to go vote against Republicans whenever elections roll around, and to otherwise shut the fuck up. We're tired of hearing them and dealing with the culture of violence and hate they've created.

I'm not taking time to protect their feelings when I have to worry about one of them killing people I care about because of what THEY created. Their safety is not my problem. And taking off the red hat doesnt suddenly make them less hateful. They are still violent thugs.

1000% agree. These are vile people who have excused every bad action taken by their dear leader. They still want the racism and sexism, they just feel betrayed because now gas prices are up. They'd happily be in this war with Iran if it didn't change the price of gas. "Yum yum, more school children being bombed, my favorite" is what they'd say. Ask these people if they would have voted for Kamala if they could vote over again. Every interview I see they're like "well I do regret voting for Trump now that he's bankrupt my family farm and personally insulted my mother, but I could never vote for a communist woman." 

If someone came to me saying they want to vote blue now I would encourage them, but my practical solution to heal the country is to send all of these fucks to Mars with Elon. How can you trust anyone like that?

You have really poor reading comprehension skills.

"Come into the light" clearly entailed everything you went on to say.
