This approach is the primary cause of everything getting worse. Didn't punish the south enough for the civil war, so we got James Crow laws and other horrible shit thrown at black people to this day. Didn't punish Nixon, pretended everything was fine with all the other shit stains instead of holding them accountable.
No, this lady should be vilified for what she did. Letting her hide it just means that she can act like she is in it with everyone else when she lit the house on fire. All these MAGA supporters need to be shamed in public permanently.
Maybe it’s time to start giving them something they can’t take off/down
"And when you go home, are you gonna take those posts down?"
"..."
"Yeah, that's what I thought. And that is something I just cannot abide."
I vote this!
Villified? No. We have a sound and tried mechanism for that.
She should be shamed.
I don't think they're saying to completely forgive them. It's just that them changing their mind is a positive change that should be acknowledged and celebrated. People can change for the better. Some people would still support Trump even when it hurts them.
I haven't seen anything to indicate she's changed her mind. Not one "I was wrong", no "I regret my vote", nothing but whining about what's happened to her.
Are you following this woman?
No, but I've seen several posts about her here. While I suppose it's possible she's made posts regretting her support of Trump that haven't been posted here I tend to doubt it. You'd think something of that sentiment would be reflected in at least one of the posts that ends up here but I've seen nothing.
Can confirm, she hasn't posted anything negative about Trump or anything that indicates any amount of regret for how she voted. Just this stuff about how she doesn't want to get political about anything.
Are you? Since you have nothing to add as a rebuttal but this I’m going to assume you’re a hypocrite that doesn’t.
Sounds like they were smart enough to realize how stupid they looked. That’s not the same at all.
It’s A Cult. They will vote the same way again.
it’s not about changing their minds, it’s about rubbing their faces in it
It is about making an example of terrible people instead of giving them a free pass.
Consequences for actions and being held accountable are the only ways a person, or country, can heal.
