(18,486 posts)This kind of attitude is one of the reasons the insurrection occurred. Law enforcement didn't see those people as a threat - they just thought they were confused, but harmless people who looked like their family and neighbors who just wanted to get a few things off their chests, when, in reality, they were a dangerous mob of white supremacist criminals.
Continuing to treat Trump supporters like they're just misguided but ultimately reachable fellow Americans who only need understanding and support to come around is maddening to me and deeply insulting. Anyone who is still supporting Trump now knows EXACTLY what they're supporting and it's not about economic anxiety or just a little feeling of marginalization. These are white supremacists and white supremacist sympathizers. Period.
I want them to stay their asses away from my party.
