    I think we should have sympathy. Better late than never, and nothing will ever change if people aren’t allowed to learn and grow.

    MAGA is a community, and a lot of MAGAtards are only there for the community. If progressives aren’t willing to accept personal growth, there is no reason for them to grow.

    Progressives need to take the high road and welcome the MAGAts who have finally seen the light.

    An eye for an eye only creates blindness. Someone needs to stop the cycle.

      The sentiment of your post is commendable, but I’m skeptical that any magats are “finally seeing the light”. They’ve been fully supportive of bigotry and facsism for a decade now. I’m relieved that support for trump is beginning to dwindle, but it’s not because those supporters are now becoming more progressive. Its because their gas prices have gone up. They will blindly continue to vote red in the future.

      Did he actually learn anything or is he just going to vote for the next fascist with an R next to their name?

      How’d that work out with the Confederacy? Did turning the other cheek teach them the error of their ways? Or did it just create a society that makes excuses to justify its racist “heritage”?
