Hey. What if his cognitive decline is so bad, that he overflows from far right all the way back to left, and his deeply hidden business acumen comes front and center while also inverting to ethical. And he uses it to demolish those who extract value without ever paying back into the system, and we all sing kumbaya.

I'm afraid that nobody realizes their mistakes until the society as a whole does, but at this time no one will be left to blame

They'll realize the economy crashed and look to blame someone. We need to tell them the real answer(the rich), or they'll default to the wrong answer(the queers, Jews, brown people, women, other countries). Tell them who fucked the world up. Not Trump, but the real corporations that have been sucking us dry.

There will be people who realize a mistake was made.

A Trump voter, even an uninformed one, will never realize a mistake was made. Maybe the first time around that was true. But, this time everyone knew who he was.

Anyone who was ignorant at the polls this time will always be ignorant. No new information will be enough for them to finally "get it".

You're overestimating the uninformed stupidity of average people. They might be fine with trans people, but if they grew up in a conservative environment, they'll act based on what their friends believe.

Most will not accept that they were wrong, but they'll be looking for villains for their suffering, and we need to point the finger at the wealthy. If we don't, every single one will target us. They're scared fools looking for answers, so we must give them.

There is no mistake to be made. Everyone but liberals knows what the GOP is, and anyone who votes for it is a heartless cunt. Don't defend them, nobody who voted for him this year deserves an ounce of sympathy or mercy

They don't deserve sympathy, but giving them mercy is necessary if we're to undermine and resist fascism. I hate how hung up everyone gets on what people "deserve." Punitive justice is trash, and I will not accept putting retribution before what's right. I won't defend the evil they committed, but I will defend them if they want to help.

There is no way to undo an injustice. You can sometimes rebuild, but that isn't undoing what was done. The past cannot be corrected, but the future can be improved. All that matters is what must be done. Kill the fascist threats, not as vengeance, but to prevent future harm.

Fuck what you think people deserve. If you can make a person a fascist no more, they can once again be good. However, the only good fascist is still a dead one.
