“The first thing for me was he didn’t release the Epstein files. They’re even acting like they didn’t exist,” he said, before moving on to his other grievances. “And, of course, they’re sending Israel and Ukraine all of our tax dollars just like the numb-nuts before him did. Putting America last, and now he’s blaming the beef farmers for the price of beef.” Mitchell added, “Hey, I’m not biased, man. He talked a good game; he tricked me. I was fooled. I admit it.” "Yeah, I do think that Donald Trump is that beast of Revelation 13:3."

It’s interesting that there’s still no self awareness and no personal responsibility - like: “it was written all over the wall but I was blind to see it because of my biases and judgments”. Instead it was “I was lied to”.

    That's the only path to getting these people turned around. They've, rightly, been called cultists and fascists. Keep telling them they're wrong, they double down. We already saw this the first time around.

    I'm very forthcoming when I'm wrong, but I still have an easier time saying I was bamboozled than plain stupid.

    That's how I see it.

    There's also something that folks forget about people that get suckered in like this: It's not their first rodeo.

    Imagine you're someone that gets below average marks in school, makes a lot of simple mistakes, and has to work to meet average expectations in life. All this gets called out and checked a lot by people that seem to be having an easier time at everything. A lesson the world teaches people like this is: never admit you screwed up, because maybe this time nobody noticed. It's an environment where you just get emotionally beat up if you don't protect yourself. So, to me at least, it's not a surprise that a lot of people react to being called out by defending their ego every way they know how.

    The issue is that they haven’t learned a damn thing. So we’re not out of the woods. They’ll vote in another T like person/administration because former cult members are attracted to cult leaders. I need to start accepting that for the rest of my life, us will be an extra shitty place to live in.

    Re-educate who you can, help the lost the best you can, educate the young as if humanity depends on it. Ignorance isn't a lack of ability, but often due to lack of some resource. You'll never sit in the shade of the trees you plant, and that's also something we all need to accept

    How is it wrong to say they were lied to? Trump consistently says if we do awful things, the results won't be awful they will be amazing.any of these republicans have to go against their local community if they disagree as well, there is a lot of resistance. Try to have some empathy here as surely you are ignorant about something sue to circumstance as well, and I'm sure you would want to be treated positively if you were to realize your mistake.
