    He has my respect. It takes a lot of courage and humility to recognize that you were completely wrong and stand in opposition.

    He shouldn’t about conversations about Trump voters. He should be proud he isn’t one any longer.

      It does take a lot of stupid to ever vote for a clearly destructive president and it just should be a permanent stain on your soul if you do that to others

        I don’t disagree, but recognizing your mistakes and trying to undo them is admirable. What is better, to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature?

        He can never undo voting for Trump and it sounds like it still haunts him today. He recognizes he was an idiot for doing so though and wants to fix it. What more can you ask of someone who has already made a mistake?

          I am a champion of giving second chances. It’s just so incredibly stupid to vote for a fully realised psychotic narcissist that I get mad when I think about how it even happens

            I getcha. That’s how I feel about women who were formerly pro life and now realize the horrors of abortion being bad. I’ll welcome them to their face and say I’m happy they’ve come around.

            But privately I’m just seething at them. What the fuck did they think would happen?
