    As easy as it is to be able to say “I told you so” and point the finger at those directly responsible for this current shitshow, I think we shouldn’t lose focus of the real issue/enemy: the ultra wealthy class.

    I think ideally we welcome those who may have voted for the orange turd but are now regretful, give those people a community to be supported by once they are deprogrammed from the cult. Do that and united as a lower/middle class, there’s a decent hope to take back the US and start righting some wrongs. This is just optimistic and rose-tinted drivel but I have to cling onto some hope for a future. heavy sigh

      We only welcome them if and only if they over correct.

      I.e. they start actively campaigning against Trump, publicly and without hesitation.

      Because if they don’t, they’ll likely come out in 2026 and vote Republican again. And in the likely event that Trump goes for a third term, they’ll just be racist again.

      They don’t deserve a warm welcome. If we welcome them because they finally realized Trump is bad now… Then that’s rewarding people for changing their mind because it directly affected them (which is a stupid way to make decisions). Na they need to be shamed and roasted and they should be willing to accept that because if they truly understand that Trump is bad, they should understand how fucking stupid they were. They brought this upon us.

      “Don’t punish behavior you want to see.”

      I’m not saying they should get a cookie because they joined the cause, but as long as they stay in line, support them in order to hold the line.
