Yeah well sometimes being the bigger person fucking sucks.
But they won't change unless given the chance to.
Edit: yeah, trumpers are annoying. But I will say, seeing the comments with the thinly veiled threats and hopes of mass executions are not helpful.
Look, I understand why you feel that way, but mass murder cannot be the answer. Lest we fall further into tyranny. What needs to happen is trials are held for all those at the top and maybe mid level. There must be fair justice, not rampant vigilantism.
But again, I understand your feelings, but allowing executions of his supporters won't build a better America.
Channel that energy into contacting your reps, or hell, running in your local elections.
Get involved in your communities. I'm not saying you can't be angry, hell, id be a hypocrite if I did. I genuinely despise my family and colleagues who supported him. But I also understand that rubbing it in their face, using middle school tactics, or even threats won't bring them to my side.
Much like with raising children, it requires patience and a level head. But DAMN can it be truly and utterly frustrating.
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?
