    A liberal who realized something was wrong is something a lot of leftists once were. Accepting him should come from a place of empathy.

      Can confirm, gave up on the whole “Democracy will repair itself” thing after the election.

      Call me naive, but I really had hope the majority of Americans would at minimum be willing to vote against a rapist/insurrectionist/fraud

        gave up on the whole “Democracy will repair itself” thing after the election.

        Comparing to russian opposition, it surprises me that “democracy will repair itself” is popular. It was understood somewhere in 2013 by nationalists, “right” and “left”. “Democracy is a muscle, that needs to be excercised regularly” as Ekaterina Shulman (recently) said.

      Absolutely. I feel empathy for the United CEOs family, while also recognizing they are going to be financially fine. They also have a chance to reflect on any grief and how affected families may not be sympathetic for valid reasons. Whether they do or not depends on whether they value healing, or greed/retribution.

        I don’t. They benefited from it, same as him. Were happy to do so. They are nearly as demented as him.

          You’re talking about a 16 year old, a 19 year old, and his estranged wife who is a physical therapist. What’s demented about them?
