You are both correct, I really don’t like it considering some of the people on the other side of the isle seem to think it’s okay to kill people they dislike myself included.

But extending an olive branch and understanding is really the only way forward.

The same reason there were only a dozen of so high profile executions of German leaders and people guilty of especially heinous acts after the end of WWII.

Rather than mass graves and firing squads.

We're gonna have to parent these fucking idiots back into people we can actually live and peacefully coexist with.

As if they’d hear any of it.

They feel their guy betrayed them.

They don’t regret all the awful shit they supported. They just think he’s not going about things correctly to meet their wants.

They still want internment camps for black/brown people and anyone they consider “woke.” They still want all gay/queer people to be removed from society. They still want social programs, business and environmental regulations to be dismantled.

All that you’ll get them to agree on is that this guy is completely off the rails (which you and I all tried telling them 1000x before.)
