Can we all normalize not giving Ukraine and Taiwan money even if dems win in 2026? I think there should be an understanding about borrowing 2 trillion dollars yearly being a bad thing and not sustainable

He hadn't been convicted in 2016. The only people who knew he was a rapist then were him, his victims, and his friends.

The problem is that they will then hang out exclusively with people who did.

We need to build bridges not burn them. Ostracizing Trump voters doesn't fix the divide in this country.
Good people can make mistakes. Good people can be mislead. Good people can believe in lies. We need to build community with these people. They are our neighbors, they are our family members, they are our friends.
Capitalism wants us all alienated. It wants us to abandon our tribe. And it wants us to go forward alone. We have to stop kicking people out of the tent. We need to welcome them.
We have all been lied to by our politicians. We have all been mislead about what they believe and what they stand for. You need to believe that people can come back from mistakes. Stop ostracizing people for who they voted for. Instead find a way to figure out how to build together.
Edit: GUYS WE ALL LEFT MAINSTREAM SOCIAL MEDIA BECAUSE IT'S A HYPERPARTISAN ECHO CHAMBER THAT ROTS YOUR BRAIN. WE ARE ALL ON THE FEDIVERSE BECAUSE WE MADE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO DO BETTER FOR OUR BRAINS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS SO HARD TO SEE THAT MOST PEOPLE'S BRAINS HAVE BEEN TURNED TO MUSH BY SOCIAL MEDIA. ITS LITERALLY THE ONLY THING THE ENTIRE FEDIVERSE USER BASE AGREES ON. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S HARD TO BE FORGIVING TO PEOPLE WHOSE BRAINS HAVE BEEN TURNED TO MUSH AND FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY LACK A HISTORICAL SENSE OF THE MOMENT, THEY LACK ANY SENSE OF SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING, NOR DO THEY HAVE A SENSE OF LOGIC.
We need to forgive people who get trapped in propaganda echo chambers. It's not something intrinsic to them. We have all literally been there.
Nah. Trying to rehabilitate Nazis leads to Nazis taking over critical institutions and going underground to pop back up a couple of generations later. Unlike our grandparents, we don't need to leave a bigger less for our grandkids to clean up.
And when most of us were "trapped in a propaganda echo chamber" the idea of cheering on masked secret police disappearing our neighbors for their skin tone or language would still have been a non-starter. Yes, they were made to believe absurdities in order to make them commit atrocities. That doesn't excuse the atrocities, nor does it make the absurdities anything other than what they wanted to believe to begin with.
The primary reason we're here, is because we didn't properly deal with the Confederacy after the Civil War, especially after the assassination of Lincoln. That open wound festered for the next century and a half, and now we have to deal with it once and for all.
Traitors and Pedophiles cannot be compromised with. If they have committed crimes, they get the harshest punishment, and if they haven't, they should be shunned by moral society. They tried to destroy this country once, and they will try again. They deserve no forgiveness or mercy, just relentless bullying, so their children grow up wanting desperately to escape from that life.

Not sorry. I have no pity, sympathy or compassion for them. I believe we need unity but some things are unforgivable. Especially if one of my sons is drafted to fight in these forever wars. They would have directly put my child and countless others in danger. Unforgivable.
