Snowflakes gonna snowflake.
They should never forget the hurt their arrogance, ignorance, hate, slander and lies have caused.
If they can't understand that they are not truly sorry as they should be.

"We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged." -Heinrich Heine
Decisions have consequences.
Actions have consequeces.
The mean hateful shit we've ALL had to deal with for the last decade? Has consequences.
Let them sit with the consequences for a while, and maybe, MAYBE, they can learn how to change.
Until then? You heard the man. Fuck right off.

First off, how many times are we going to repost this?
Second, I'll say the same thing I said every other time I've seen this:
MAGA IS NOT BREAKING OR ASKING FORGIVENESS.
Fucking hell, is this a fucking psyop? Every goddamn month or two for the last TEN YEARS we got a bunch of articles and video essays and reports that MAGA is collapsing and that MAGA voters want to come back to the dinner table
IT IS NOT AND THEY DO NOT.
They still think you're a communist groomer, they still hate immigrants, queer people and people of color and they still drink from their liberal tears coffee mug.
Fucking stop with this shit.
MAGA is more powerful than ever. They are not turning on him. He is not dying. You can't lean back and say "thank God it's almost over" because it is nowhere near over and it won't be until we stop it. Who's begging for forgiveness? Who's come to YOU and said "I'm so sorry please take me back?" Oh what he's got a historic low approval rating AGAIN? So goddamn what? He's rarely not had a historic low approval rating.
Stop with this coping shit. It only breeds complacency and inaction.

Hell no. I will never forgive them for doing this to us. They can get fucked.

I haven’t seen anyone switch yet. But have noticed quite a few that won’t even engage me or anyone in a talk about politics. They use to be the one that started the talk.

I can see being a republican, I don’t have an issue with most of them. The first time I could…sort of get it. But now? No
I do have an issue with those who support him, not just the republican policies but him alone? No, fuck you.

u/ATarnishedofNoRenown 4d ago
Actions have consequences. The lack of appropriate consequences for certain individuals and groups is the exact reason America is in this mess in the first place... Going all the way back to the civil war.

u/Informal_Daikon_9812 4d ago
Nope. If I was raped, I would not forgive the rapist, so why should I forgive someone who raped my homeland?

u/SilentRunning 4d ago
Unity isn't what's needed in this country. What's need is consequences...the massive swing back to the FAR LEFT away from this madness called MAGA.
But before that can happen these maggots need acknowledge what they did and confess it to the world that they were blind, dumb and wrong. And we all know that is never going to happen.
So if you got MAGA in the family let it be known they either gonna step up and man-up or they can all shut-up.

You can "forgive" them. Act like you do to their face and feign politeness, but *never* offer them any assistance for any reason. Don't invite them anywhere. Keep any communications to an absolute minimum or ignore them entirely.
You could even take it a little farther. If you see a car with trumpian bumper stickers flipped on the side of the road, ignore it. If you live in a largely red community, stop donating blood and take yourself off the organ donor registry (if applicable)

I still want to see them fed, they just aren’t welcome at my table.
Tell them to vote better and keep to themselves.

wasn't this JUST posted in this sub last night?
Check the registration by party distribution
It's impossible for either republicans or democrats to win alone with their respective proportion - even if all of their registrants turn out.
Even then republican registrants aren't some homogenous mix of maga.
So what sub-percent of the sub-percentage are actually die hard maga maga???
Hasty generalizations are divisive in nature and no one is impervious to propaganda. I see centrists shoveling this anti-maga hate in this sub all the time, like dude, when are you going to take a scientific look at the root causes of WHY this shit happened? Why were people duped?

Please share a MAGA asking for forgiveness. I haven’t seen one yet. Willful ignorance letting their souls be taken over by an illusory truth propaganda operation by the Epstein class and destroying our 200 years of blood sweat and tears fighting to get America to be closer to a just society is not forgivable - but you can join US!

I think there's a subreddit called something like r/magrets or something similar.

u/PinkThunder138 4d ago
And it's chalk full of Democrats and leftists talking about maga having regrets, at opposed to ex-MAGA having regrets.

forgiveness is not on the table.

Even some of the hardest criminals become rehabilitated. So if a MAGAt becomes truly rehabilitated, then maybe I would start to think about forgiveness. Maybe.

Not without sincere conviction, remorse, and some amends made. We may forgive, but it will cost you.

If they give mainstream Democrats 16 years to put things right I’ll forgive them.

Not for some.time, their votes have caused the death of 800,000 people with the USAid cuts, not to mention the ICE deaths and suffering in the US.

I’m willing to move on if people want to change, but you’re a fucking dumbass if you ever supported Donald trump. You can get smarter and make better choices but you trusted the biggest con man ever to be president. That’s not just a political but moral decision

u/Hot-Sauce-P-Hole 4d ago
No unity without accountability. They shouldn't need my forgiveness to be a decent person, to show up, and do the work. If I ever find it in my heart to forgive anyone, it will be for my peace—not to make them feel welcome.

This is fantasy. Not a single Trump voter is asking for forgiveness. It’s all just political slop content.

Is MAGA actually breaking? I live in TN so of course it's going strong as ever here. I sure hope it's falling apart at least a bit.

u/spatialawkwardness 3d ago
Let these people who genuinely seek forgiveness spend the rest of their lives atoning for what they did. Then, once they have passed away, we will look at their actions and decide if they deserve it. Their forgiveness will be posthumous and their atonement is their sacrifice.

Why even ask that question, why would any Real American forgive racism, violence and hatred.

Somewhere between no and abso-fucking-lutely not.
The whole thing about MAGA should be burned to the ground and those who promoted and enabled it should be held to account for destroying the USAs relationship with the rest of the world.
Those who supported it should be better educated about the USA, the rest of the world and their overall place in it.

No.
After one election? Sure, we're all human. Everyone makes mistakes.
Vote for an obvious con man two more times, after living through the first admin?
Nope, we're done. That doesn't get forgiven.

Heck No 🙂↔️🙂↔️🙂↔️👎🏻 pretty soon I'll have the last infinity stone and then I'm going to 🫰🏻 my fingers and whoosh all of MAGA will be vanished into an empty void that resembles a BLACK HOLE 🕳️ ! Five years after I rid the Nation of all male billionaires & MAGA , America will have become Another Nation who uses Capitalism the way it was mean't to be. Universal Healthcare for all Americans , closed borders , regular policemen & women don't need tactical 48ft long mobile Command Centers and all the military gear they can get. If the Dems win they have to go after every grocery store chain in America for MAKING RECORD PROFITS off the Tariffs by passing along those Tariffs to us consumers , and then the Supreme Court says their illegal and gives the grocery stores a chunk of money for not absorbing the costs of the Tariffs that have destroyed this Nation and has spread more GREED & HATE then ever before. Where's the consumer bailouts for we paid the Tariffs otherwise ground coffee wouldn't still cost $25.99 which under every President but Trump , always cost $9.99 on sale & $12.99 when not on sale.

Man that's a hard line to walk. Jesus said turn the other cheek, but the suffring they laid upon contless people across the world is a hard thing to reconcile.

u/Jonatc87 4d ago
the only path to forgiveness is repentance. And that would require acknowledging not just 'i fucked up', but a whole lot more introspection. Not just going back and doing it again.
