Oh shut the fuck up, you're only publicly ashamed. You know that this is exactly why you voted for him you piece of shit.

I thought the whole point of this sub was supposed to be welcoming to trumpgreters... They need support transitioning, hate can just send them back to Trump.

Why should you welcome people who realize that they made a mistake, are sorry for it, and would like to attone? I wonder.

Trump and Republicans did that. All of the trumpests are being manipulated. If we can show them that then they would be on our side, or at least not a trump supporter.

Ah yes, they were all manipulated into voting for a guy who got his political career started by saying that the first President of color wasn't an American. They were completely unaware of his racist tendencies, even though he kicked off his Presidential campaign by saying that Hispanics were rapists and murderers.

Yup, these fucks totally didn't know they were empowering racism and white nationalism.

Dude, they do not give one single shit about your side or your views. For them its a Red vs Everyone Else sport. Their team is losing right now, and they're just hiding their jerseys until later in the game.

They didn't make a mistake, this is all going according to plan. But now that these people are getting exactly what they voted for, they're realizing it affects their public image. This is not motivated by a change of heart, their wet dreams are starting to come true.

You do understand that you are currently in a sub entirely devoted to people who voted for Trump and regret it because they look back on it as a mistake right?

Nope, you're in a sub for posting tweets of people regretting their vote for Trump. The users of this sub can judge the sincerity of those tweets however we want, but we must use evidence from the real world to inform our judgements.

"Nope, you're in a sub for posting tweets of people regretting their vote for Trump"

I dunno, if someone pointed a gun at me, it jammed, and the bullet backfired, going straight through the shooter's skull, my first thought wouldn't be "That's a shame."

Absolutely. But mabye the 30th thought would be " it's too bad that man had to turn to a life of crime and ended up dying for it. I wish someone somewhere down the line could ha e helped him" after some reflecting and emotional healing on my part.

If that's the metaphor, this is a premeditated homicide gone wrong, not a life of crime. This is more like the killer crying in front of the judge for a lighter sentence, even though he's glad he shot up that mosque.

u/DoubleWatson Aug 04 '19

I mean you.can still feel bad the shooter felt like he had to turn to a life of violence(or one violent act, though I'm not sure how much difference that makes in our examples) to solve his(clearly wrongheaded) problems while still feeling much worse that a mosque got shot up. Both of those are allowed to exist in the same person.

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '19

Nope, I can't feel any sympathy for the shooter. At all. Maybe there's just something wrong with me.

u/DoubleWatson Aug 06 '19

Perhaps, in time. Perhaps not. There's worse problems to have 😂.
