This is a good memo...and I hope that Trumpetoons and MAGAts do see the light, renounce their pasts, and make positive contributions to getting rid of the Bloated Yam and improving society.

But I expect that the bulk of them are too far gone to save.

After Germany was conquered, the leader of the British Union of Fascists, Sir Oswald Mosley, was shown photographs of Dachau, Auschwitz, and Belsen. He dismissed them as "Allied propaganda" and called the Nuremberg proceedings "show trials." He never repented.

On the other hand, Tiger Knowles, facing the blue juice for lynching Michael Donald on the orders of the United Klans of America in 1981, faced Donald's family in court and apologized to them for his misdeeds, saying, "If I could trade places with your son, I would." So maybe there is hope.

After the last 10 years, I don't see an epidemic of honest self-examination in these people. Would be lovely for all of humanity but no time holding our breath in wait. Trying daily to stand up and hold the line. Still can't believe this is happening on my watch......

Have now seen multiple trumpers or sideline sympaticos lose jobs and entire careers under this fascist takeover. Hear lots of complaints, but not yet correct identification and denunciation of the obvious cause

It feels like reflection and change, making better choices.....are not enough. That ship has sailed. The damage they've caused, the time and resources wasted calls for something else; apology, regret, and shame. It doesn't have to be public, few are going to get actual public airtime, but the next step has to be declaration. This could be meaningful apologies to family, friends......your word. If you change but no one knows it, well, if a tree falls in the forest....

Hard to think they can be trusted to be part of the solution. Mostly they need to be ostracized from decent folks while we pray we can clean up their mess
