As satisfying as it is to point out this persons hypocrisy and selfishness in only caring when if affects him (and it is satisfying,) I struggle with how best to incorporate those earnestly crossing the isle (late though it may be.)
If we have any chance of unifying our country, we’re going to have to figure out how to welcome back those earnestly recognizing the errors they’ve made. Heavy emphasis on ‘earnestly.’
Yeah it’s not enough for them to realize their conclusion was bad, they need to realize the flaws that got them to the bad conclusion. Otherwise they’ll easily be conned again.
I don’t see most people who voted for trump having the strength of character to do that sort of introspection and reflection.
You are correct because them saying they wont vote for Trump is because they are selfish and have only come to that conclusion because they have been personally affected. What they do not address in
their “enlightenment” is what led them to vote for Trump in the first place and what they will do going forward to ensure they have learnt from this mistake.
If Democrats were smart, they’d temporarily drop talking about some of the more controversial and not immediately relevant political hot topics.
Like gun control is not an immediate need at this moment in time. The focus needs to be on fixing our democracy as quickly as possible so we can get back to the actual process of governing once again instead of this shit show we’ve had for the last decade.

The grade schoolers getting shot at on a regular basis would beg to differ…
