We need to build bridges not burn them.

Lol. Welcome back from the coma you've been in. That ship sailed quite some time ago, and it wasn't our side of the aisle that sailed away.

You cannot build bridges with low IQ bigoted traitors who willingly and gleefully vote for felon rapists who already failed once at the presidency and who openly call half the country America's enemy.

People who continue to support not just Donald Trump but the current Republican party are wholesale traitors to our nation, and the sooner you understand that, the less delusional you'll be.

Good people can make mistakes.

These aren't good people. They voted for a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who has spent the last decade attempting to divide America. Too much time has passed, too many events have unfolded, and too much information has come out for them to still be considered good people for the choices they are making.

They are our neighbors, they are our family members, they are our friends.

That doesn't give them infinite passes for being deplorable people. If you coddle a child that keeps misbehaving, they will keep doing it forever. Now, these aren't children (technically) who can be put on timeout to learn a lesson. The lesson is they lose their friends and family.

We have all been lied to by our politicians.

Sure have. But we don't all resort to voting for felon rapist traitors and parties who strip women of rights and target people with brown skin as a reaction to politicians lying to us. Trump/Republican supporters didn't just vote for him/them because they were tricked. They did it because they wanted brown people out, or women to not have control over their own bodies, or a Christian oriented nation, or simply to piss of the libs.

Stop ostracizing people for who they voted for.

WHY?!?!?!?!?!?

We judge people based on their actions, as they should be. VOTING IS AN ACTION WITH REAL WORLD CONSEQUENCES.

We need to forgive people who get trapped in propaganda echo chambers.

Not anymore we don't. It's been over a decade and they've been presented with MOUNTAINS of evidence that they've chosen to ignore to the detriment of our nation. That makes them our enemy now.
