I think of Magats and Republicans and all of us as products that came down a factory assembly line. Magats and Republicans were assembled on either Monday, after factory employees had a long drunken party weekend, or they were assembled on a Friday after a long hard work week. The rest of us were assembled on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. That also neatly explains the percentage of defective die hard Trump supporters.

As a product they'll always malfunction no matter what they might currently say.

The goal should not be to weaken MAGA by convincing their faithful to abandon their position.

The more difficult, but ultimately the best route is to convince the other side to abandon theirr side and JOIN our side.

But, it's easier to call names and try to shame the weakened party.

It's why they have done it in the past and likely why weaker elements on our side will do the same thing.

taking the high road, told to try empathizing with them, we just didn't understand their concerns. And what have we gotten in return? Being mocked and demonized for being kind, decent, law abiding citizens who love this country. Well, no more. I, for one, am done. It's time to get down and dirty. It's time to insist those maga idiots who voted for t and hate America so much they love dictators around the world rather than America either start attempting to reach out to us (but prepare to be looked on with distrust and rebuffed), or move to one of those dictator loving countries they seem to admire so much.
I am polite to them if I have to interact with them at work, but off work- no.

Not sure if the idea is to actually change things (because the last 47 years have been a straight up shitshow) or spoofing me, but I have been spit on and shat upon by GOP priorities far too often and too long to say that its OK to turn the other cheek any longer.

...that the MAGA person changed because of something a Democrat did or said.

I'm betting that was not the case.

Rather, he/she is disillusioned with current Republicans, as is the case with a whole lot of former MAGAts. That's not something we have a whole lot of control over.

You do realize, I trust, that there is a vast gulf between realizing Trump is a mess and actually changing the baseline ideas that go with voting R? Trump is an extreme version of modern Republicanism. I'm pretty sure that the number of sad MAGAs who are going to switch their votes is vanishingly small.

If this person is going to vote for Vance or Rubio or whoever runs in '28, then there's no purity test being applied. They continue to be stupid. They continue to believe the crap that FOX feeds them, just without the Trump part.

When former MAGAs start showing up on DU, let me know. That's when we'll need to debate purity tests.

I don't think the application of a "purity test" by any Democrat is going to have much effect on that.

So scolding people on this site for being less than forgiving seems to me off base.

We need a landslide.

And we need to understand that continuing to express grievance and hatred towards those who are beginning to realize they made a mistake may provide temporary satisfaction, but the ONLY practical effect it could have is to hurt our effort to defeat fascism in America.

The GOP now operates as an ongoing wholly fascist criminal enterprise intent upon wholesale destruction of our representative democracy and anyone or anything that dares oppose their unbridled delusionally malevolent depravity unleashed as their ongoing crimes against humanity.

Yes, I am enraged and purely loathe the magats, but the forces that picked up and amplified their worst natures are very powerful and effective - and are the real evil. The magats are mainly weak, greedy, ignorant, hateful and pathetic tools.

I try to tell myself that these assholes did not have the benefit of my privileged, open-minded upbringing, and that hating them is kind of like blaming people for being in poverty.

I will never like or forgive them, but I am glad when I hear that some of them are turning away from the dark, even if just to the extent of ceasing to broadcast their ugly stupidity.

She is first generation Cuba and I'm sure her father and husband were an influence on her politics.

You wouldn't have known she was a trump supporter unless you saw her bumper stickers or engaged in politics.
Both lame54 and I worked with her.

If we talked politics it was rare. What she did do was give the reasons she supported trump. Which both lame54 and I could shoot holes in. She was first generation Cuban so had hypocritical views on immigration but didn't support mass deportation. She didn't believe it was actually happening.
A few of our fellow employees all belonged to the same church.
As long as you didn't talk politics or religion she was nice and a hard worker.

With totally made up bunk as an explanation for human behavior.

The Facebook emotion crap was bad enough. Illicit and callous human subject research with phony cultish mobbing.

Worst experiment ever. Straight up misconduct, malpractice and harassment from start to end.

I suppose one tries to ignore that some of these repellent humans actually exist but one hopes normally to never have to interact with any of them outside a court.
