    To be honest I don’t understand why they would ever vote for Trump in the first place, but people do a lot of things I don’t understand. I feel in live we should be allowed to make mistakes. I think the being shocked part also comes from them realising they’ve made a mistake. Like their whole (false) view of the world just breaks.

    I mean it really really sucks some people realise only now becauss the world would have looked a lot better if they hadn’t voted for a dictator. So I totally we get it we call them out for voting for a leopard and having their faces eaten but we also should be careful turning them away. A mistreated veteran longing for his wife might be a great asset in the fight against fascism.

      Unless someone dangles a little bit of hate in front of him again, then he’ll go right back to being a part of MAGA. These people have been duped and duped and duped, and it’s been pointed out to them by us, by them, the people doing the duping, and they just never catch on.

      I doubt any of these people will change. If you voted for Trump when he wasn’t even trying to hide who he really is, you probably won’t learn from this. It’s only a problem because it happened to him, but he’d probably still be cheering on anyone else he considers undesirable being deported/disappeared. But I’ll be happy if I turn out to be wrong.
