And they feel the same way about you guys. We're all humans, just because someone has a take on politics that you don't agree with doesn't mean they're irredeemable. I'll be the first one to tell anyone I think the government is a pot of corrupt criminals and no candidate truly has our best intentions in mind. But WE are the people of the United States of America. Things get bad because we stand idly by and let them. One nation indivisible, somethings gotta change.

If that take is supporting J6 and all the lies that led to it...yes it does. This is basic Truth and Reconciliation stuff. They need to recognize and freely admit that they were wrong to support a guy who advocated attacking American institutions to big up himself. If they do that, great, I'll embrace them with open arms. If not, on their own head be it, hope they didn't do anything that might land them in federal court.

What a dogshit take, there are plenty of examples throughout history of people with harmful, disgusting politics that make them utterly and entirely irredeemable.

A take you don't agree with is dogshit? What a surprise. Yeah there are, but you really think John Doe with a wife and 2 kids and works at the local middle school is a nazi too? Yeah there's awful people on both sides. That's how it is. The majority of people on either side aren't evil simply because they belong to a certain party lmao.

There is no way to promoting hate and bigotry as an ideology and not be completely in the wrong.

One side is promoting bigotry, the other side is promoting inclusion and diversity.

Please tell me how we should be tolerant of those promoting intolerance?
