I’d respect her for that except she’s still a Republican voter.
It’s possible to utterly disagree with somebody on policy, and still recognize that they’ve passed the ‘not a traitor’ bar. She manages that.
Yes. She manages to recognize that something that is true is true. Congratulations to her for being able to recognize reality on this specific topic but probably not any others since she’s still a Republican.
I’d rather reinforce them when they do the right thing; it helps to shift the range of what’s allowed on the right. Republicans are really good at love-bombing people who adopt one of their policy positions. We ought to think about the same.
No, sorry. I do not praise Nazis for acknowledging that another Nazi was lying about an election that he obviously lost.
What do you think her opinion is on LGBT+ people if she votes Republican? Or on immigrants?
Did she vote for Cory Gardner in 2014? I bet she did.

I bet she also voted for Wayne Allard.

I don’t doubt that she’s terrible on a host of other issues; as I said, I likely disagree with her on almost every policy.
But praise when people start to move out of that mindset is part of how you detach people from it.
You know, not every American Republican is a Nazi are they?
Would you want everyone to make the worst assumption about you based on one characteristic?
I don’t like a lot of things about all the American parties.
It’s like listening to mass media, everyone is a fascist, Nazi, communist, etc.
As the saying goes, “if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you’ve got a table with 11 Nazis.”
What about those of us who dislike both parties, but agree with select things from each?
Like being moderate, center, mild, or a republicrat?
There’s no party that represents me. Only two groups of people whose ideas I mostly dislike, or that lack the compromise I feel would be necessary to do good.
I still don’t think every Republican is evil, same for liberals, or progressive, or Democrats.
If everyone but your group is evil, you’ll never get anywhere until you kill all the others. Sounds like Nazis to me?
What Republican things do you agree with?
The election was a fraud?
Corporations are people?
Climate change is a myth?
Women are lesser than men?
Slavery had benefits?
The rich deserve tax cuts?
Trans people need to be oppressed as do other LGBT+ people?
Foreigners are bad, especially the brown ones?
Private healthcare is the best form of healthcare?
The poor deserve to be?
Police are always to be respected no matter what (unless it’s January 6th)?
Russia is a good ally?
The elderly don’t need a break?
Hunter Biden’s existence is proof that Joe Biden needs to be impeached?
We cannot allow the Democrats to give us what we want in an election year?
Seriously, what?
5 Jews, 3 blacks, 2 former klansmen, and a Nazi sitting at a table is an “intervention”, not a table with 11 Nazis.
The idea that a Nazi infects everyone he comes into contact with and is utterly irredeemable is horseshit. The only way he stays a Nazi is if he never associates with anyone but Nazis. Your “11 Nazis” adage promotes isolating him among other Nazis, ensuring he is never exposed to any other philosophy.
Is that who you think the Republican Party is made up of?
I know what Republicans stand for. You can’t blame “the media” for that. Well, you can, but you’d be fool to blame anyone but Republicans themselves.
And again it’s a former representative. Where are the current Republicans fighting this?
