    I hope that these people learn from their mistakes and start to listen to reason. But I’m not holding my breath.

    I remember the rhetoric from the MAGA crowd against anyone who wasn’t MAGA. The F Your Feelings sentiment from MAGA. These MAGA people who now regret their trump vote better start apologizing to the people around them whom they’ve hurt in the process.

    This video needs to be intercut with the people stumping for Trump and showing how rabid they were prior to having #MAGARegret

      Nah, this isn’t the time to ridicule them. They’re realizing they’ve made a mistake. This is a crucial opportunity to say “Yes you did, and that’s okay. Let’s fix this together

        Nah, fuck them. They voted for Trump even after all these years of him being a bigoted asshole. Anybody who did that after the “grab them by the pussy” tape revelation knew. They knew perfectly well what they were in for, they did just not expect to be on the receiving end of that bigotry themselves.

        The issue is that it might actually be too late to fix it. Trump promised that the November '24 election would be the last time people needed to vote…

          I’m not dead yet, which means there is still more I can do to affect this situation. This is not the time to forfeit.

      On an emotional level agree completely. But anyone who can admit they made a mistake, deserves a bridge back, even if the mistake was something they received ample warning about and even though their motivation for making the mistake stemmed from the worst of human nature… and even though their reason for regretting the mistake is because it’s now affecting them personally—

      Okay, really need to force myself to believe these people deserve their bridge back

        They might not deserve it, but so much can be gained by being more gentle than people deserve. The people who mistreated MLK didn’t deserve his kindness, but he gave it anyway and that played a huge part in how influential he was

        As painful as it is, this is both what the high road actually looks like, and how we win, longer term. We need to bleed off those we can from the echo chamber of insanity. The more ‘moderates’ we can strip off, the more obvious that insanity becomes.

        Mockery feels good, but it drives them back into their group. Kindness and understanding gives us the cracks we need to start deconverting them.

    Sure, the people missing faces are upset but what you need to understand is the people that still have faces don’t care.

      And a lot of faceless people are also making excuses about how they never wanted to have faces in the first place, and it’s good that they’re gone.

      Like the guy whose daughter died of measels. He said it was God’s will. God created measles. God allowed the disease to take his daughter’s life.

      I knew that there would be people like this, but it’s still hard to grasp.

        When a child dies because of them, I wouldn’t think a parent is ready for deep introspection and admitting the terrible mistake. Mental gymnastics are to be expected, it’s the mind’s self defence. Perhaps after some years…

        And the rest of the faceless people are fine with that if it means that the lives of others who they don’t like are ruined. They gain satisfaction of if the misery of others, even if it causes them misery too. It’s toxic mental illness at its worst.

        Its written across many books in the Bible to not test God, he will not protect you from your own stupidity.

        So, RFK is literally Jesus for preaching God’s will that kids must die from measles? 🤔

      It never means anything until it effects them personally. Their family, their friends. Until then it’s nothing.

      We really are dealing with people who do not have empathy.

        Oh, it’s not even that, they do possess empathy. You’re just not a person to them more of a faceless blob at best and a insect at the other end.
