Gonna be real hard for me to hold hands and sing Kumbaya with a group of people who vote against democracy by elevating rapists and felons who illegally attempt to overturn elections and who have a ton of racists and sexists in their ranks.

Wouldn't have said that 10+ years ago, but they've crossed all sorts of lines since then. They don't really deserve to be forgiven.

I agree but we have to acknowledge that it's not helpful. Like there is nothing MAGA can say or do to make me think they are good people, but if we can at minimum get them to understand the propaganda they swallowed whole we can actually do better, for all of us.
