Getting apologies would be nice, but it starts with acceptance. Right now, if a Trump voter can accept that they messed up or were led astray, and they can be convinced to join the resistance, that’s all I care about. I care less about hearing an “I’m sorry” than I do about having more people on the streets today - actions speak louder than words, and to turn down someone who’s joined our side over something as petty as “Have you apologized yet?” would do little more than push people away.
We need a united front right now, and just as former Trump voters have to suck up the bad feelings of having contributed to this mess, we have to hold off on purity-testing our fellow protesters and accept that to fight the oligarchs, it takes all of us, regardless of our feelings toward each other.
(i feel like i do need to start flagging that im an australian citizen, living in australia so this… kinda ain’t my place… but also, over the last 70 years the US has made it the worlds place without giving us much of a choice… point being, providing external POV without actually having intimate knowledge of culture etc etc)
i can agree with that: deal with the problem at hand… but what happens in 4 years time? let’s assume that the US doesn’t descent into complete dictatorship for an indeterminate amount of time (because if so any discussion is irrelevant)… what do you do then? you’ve won: do you live and let live? or what if MAGA tries to stay in power and causes a violent conflict? from what i understand, a lot of the current situation is buoyed because you allowed the confederates to maintain their identity during reconstruction
if the democrats get voted in in 4 years, the problem isn’t gone: the same people that voted trump didn’t suddenly gain a new found empathy for their fellow man… do you let it slide because the current crisis is dealt with and through a combination of luck and incompetence it somehow worked out?
We dont need traitors in the mindst. Why would you allow traitors into your resistance. We don’t need the trumpers to take back america. There’s more of us then there is of those traitor fucks.
They are Nazis. Plain and simple see them everyday in Florida with their Trump stickers and nazi flags.
There’s more of us then there is of those traitor fucks.
I highly doubt this. Sure, there are more people opposed to Trump than there are Trump supporters. But Trump supporters are more cohesive and easier to mobilize. When it comes to getting people off the couch - particularly to achieve goals through violence - I expect you’d be outnumbered at least 3 to 1.
This is how you lose. If you don’t allow people who wake up and turn away from the naziism a chance to do so, you’ve stupidly removed the opportunity for there to be fewer Nazis
They aren’t “traitors”. Many of them fell for propaganda. Do you unironically believe that parents are voting for trump when they know their parents will be deported? Do you think that illegal migrants will vote for trump when they know they will be deported?
Stop with your edgy hardliner attitude. This is how you create rifts in society.
Did Trump not fill his cabinet with Russian agents?
Traitors. Including you for defending them.
And to answer your questions yes you idiot Trump said he was gonna do all those things and the very same people voted for him still. Shows the racism and bigotry of this country.
Did Trump bot steal top secret documents? Did Trump not commit sedition? Did Trump not fill his cabinet with Russian agents?
Probably did all that, but that’s not what he’s marketing it as. I don’t think you understand how voting works for many people - they don’t watch every a politician says or does, they watch the stuff that is shown on TV, read a few flyers and that’s it.
Traitors. Including you for defending them.
I’m not defending anyone. I’m telling you that your shitty attitude and your wannabe edgy 16-year old “IM NEVER GOING TO FORGIVE THEEEEM!!!11” is not helping turning the situation in the slightest.
Also, I’m not american. Can’t really be a traitor to a country I don’t belong to.
And to answer your questions yes you idiot Trump said he was gonna do all those things and the very same people voted for him still.
Okay, then please riddle me this - why would an undocumented immigrant vote for someone that is publicly announcing he wants to kick them out? Maybe because he phrased it in a way that implied that it’s not going to affect them?
Shows the racism and bigotry of this country.
No, it shows that elections in america are more of a entertainment show than a political event.

Last I checked it took a world war to stop the Nazis but go on.
Il see yall during the revolution.
Curb your extremism.

Sure they voted for a traitor, but where do you want democrats to look for votes? The left?
