    If you think it’s all behind him, and want to support him over the corpo picks… why even bring it up? It’s old news at this point. The people who care, already know. The only thing you’re doing now is running oppo by keeping it fresh, unasked; that’s the opposite of support. At least be honest with your bullshit, rather than trying to play the “concerned voter” schtick.

        that’s not at all what I said, but okay, use your cool reference. Everyone thinks you’re soo cool now, sooo cool, you’re so cool dude, cool meme.

        If you never allow people to change they won’t. Everyone is waiting for Trump to lose support, but every time some that voted for them begins to regret their choice people go full on to ridiculing them. Honestly this is something I’m guilty of doing myself

        Also context is important. When I was in elementary school the teachers had us make headdresses and wear them for Thanksgiving. Pretty racist stuff. At the time I didn’t think anything of it as I did not know the meaning of these symbols just that I was being encouraged to wear/user them.

        Sometimes I also think people forget that being able to Google anything at anytime is relatively new.

          Same here, I have a single Trump friend (I keep him close more to keep tabs on him and have an occasional argument). He’s very suddenly soured on Trump, like in the last week or 2. I’m still not sure if it’s genuine regret, or just that whatever Tucker says he believes. My response has been low key and understanding, bot gloating or told-you-so-ing.

          I don’t know if it’ll last or what the next stage of his insanity will be. I’ve been trying to push him toward class warfare instead of the right/left bullshit and I think some of it’s starting to stick, but he definitely started his political leanings to own libs and because he thought Trump was funny.
