I'm gonna be honest here, it's gonna take a lot for me to feel like Republicans deserve a second chance. Like, every registered Republican gets to pay reparations — for starters. And I don't mean to me specifically, I actually just mean straight up reparations to black people. We can talk about reparations for everyone else in the world fucked over by them after they agree to that.

    Why are you even humoring the idea of giving them a second chance?

    They would never do the same to you. All you are doing is being weak and letting them do this all again in the future.

    Oh, don't get me wrong. My idea of a second chance involves what amounts to MAGAts choosing to voluntarily become slaves. It starts with reparations for African Americans, then we keep going down the list of people who have been harmed by their idealogy (I don't really care what the order is, eventually we'd reach everyone that isn't republican).

    In other words, it's something that will never happen.

    Feels weird to single out black people. They've hurt so many.

    That's the thing, it doesn't matter who I picked first — expecting Republicans to take responsibility for everything their kind has done is an impossibility. These people will never pay reparations willingly. It doesn't matter if they're to black people, gay people, trans people; these people will always try to get out of it despite having terrorized them for generations.

    Shit, just look at the Nazis. A Jew signed the Treaty of Versailles? Well it must be the Jews that are the reason why we're suffering post WW1 — certainly not because of the consequences of our actions. These types of people are perpetually punching down.

    Nixon, Reagan, Bush Jr, Trump, how many second chances are they going to need?

    As I mention below, there's a massive reckoning that will need to precede any second chance for conservatives. A price so steep that expecting it to be paid is functionally equivalent to believing Jesus will be reborn.
