I think we're missing an opportunity to flip a lot of people blue with the "I told you so" vs "welcome to the real right side my friend"

    Except we were seeing the exact same sentiments from trump voters in 2018.

    Trump voters are literally the scorpion in that stupid parabale where everyone drowns.

    Some most definitely. Not all, reality is unfortunately not that simplistic.

    I have yet to meet one that wasn't. Any demographic large enough will have outliers, but bulk of trump voters are bigoted assholes who want nothing but to harm other people for being different.

    Absolutely. I see this mentality "they never care until it happens to them" a lot, and I get it and was guilty of it myself, but an effective political movement needs to be able to welcome people regardless of background.

    In these threads we're not really speaking to those people who have e seen the light though. We are collectively mourning what has been lost, and "we told you so" is a somewhat satisfying outlet.

    We need justice to heal. If we don’t get justice for these last ten years the good parts of this country will never trust it again. Would you rather republicans feel less offended or would you rather those that actually make up the bulk of this countries economy feel as if their time on this planet is useful? I’m tired of my side throwing me out like fucking trash because an ugly ogre of a right winger is crying because vaccines are expected of them and they don't wanna. I’m tired of them destroying everything good that we do because they believe bullshit.

    Quit punishing good people because some fucking dumb fucks are crying.

    They voted Republican because they were shamed and insulted by the right. They desire to be put in their place by strong individuals. This is the key yall are missing. We need to prove strength to them not accept them.

    I'm sure they'll love the blue version of genocide!

    Many of them are cheering on, and enthusiastically voted for, the ethnic cleansing of the United States. They do not give a single fuck about the genocide of brown people.
