i know i'm just a dumb nobody who knows nothing but it just seems a little gauche that i keep seeing posts scolding the mean leftists for not being conciliatory enough to disillusioned trump voters especially because 1) none of them are even apologetic and 2) i do not trust those people

I am NOT casually social with fascists. I do NOT invite them into my home. I will NOT sit at a bbq at my in laws with them. Im polite to them for my own safety but that’s fucking it.
It’s easier to think these people are just cruel, when in reality they’ve just been conned. 75 percent can come back.
25 can get decked.
And I definitely ain't more forgiving than Jesus.
However, none of them have and none of them will. I am not going to pander to the right if they will not admit their wrongs. They are just mad that their faces are getting eaten.
I don't want to apologize to them, I want to get their dumb asses working for our goals! I'm not trying to make friends here, I'm trying to get everyone I meet to think "what if billionaires bad"!
win people on their needs and desires, not on names. hell, look at beshear. he doesn't have the mn dems to make him look good like walz. he won himself
Ok. So what DID he vote for from Trump then?" The deportations? The transphobia? The Christian nationalism?
Those people are not posting on fuckin Bluesky
*it's most people in America*
When people express shame and regret, we should welcome them to consider new ideas. It's the perfect time.
I cannot know how willing I would be to forgive any of them until they *apologize and ask for forgiveness*.
So far literally all I have heard is "omg we didn't know any of these things everyone was telling us constantly, you can't blame us for not knowing."
don't feel bad, though. you're popular on bluesky
When I know you're only sorry you got caught🎶
Not surprised
Like Trump supporters are going to see how bad he is for humanity and immediately repent rather than just denying it and continuing to blame liberals.
I'm tired of the demands that I give the benefit of the doubt to people who have never once given me the same.
How there were institutions trying to paint us as all the same so we could 'sneak' in to public as long as we acted straight, quiet, polite always.
They want you to return to being quiet and without Pride. Because it makes it easier to talk over you and make people not notice you exist.
I guess maybe alive in a camp is the middle, maybe??
Yes
"Sure I got fired and was unemployed for 6 months and lost my house... but uberlord Trump figured out his mistake and I have my job back now. He's so wonderful and willing to admit he made a mistake."
Transactional relationships
They don't have relationships, they have assets to be used or discarded
They still think there's a "right people" to be hurting and it's still the rest of us
Seems like great work right? Well one of the klansmen who sent him his robes got arrested for shooting into the crowds at Charlottesville 🫠
[pause]
“She and I would be friends.”
The anti trans, anti LGBT, book burning, science denying, union busting brown shirt shit they’re fine with… excited about, even
So yeah, enjoy your $40 eggs you dumb Nazi loving assholes.
If they can't even acknowledge reality, I can't work on community organizing with these people.
I'm glad local orgs have been less Libshit
they’re feeling voter’s remorse? fucking good!!
Like no, if you voted for him you are human garbage. you are a nazi. as far as I'm concerned you have no rights and deserve the same thing nazis get in video games (big beefy guys setting them on fire)
fuck 'em

Expecting *everyone* who got fucked by their guy to do this reflexively is unhinged and bigoted.
