"Now I understand how somebody like Adolf Hitler was able to brainwash millions of people," Thomas from Hawaii said in a shocking CSPAN call denouncing Trump.
This is what genuine intelligence looks like. This man was able to look inward, admit he was misled and made a mistake and tries to correct it while learning something in the process.
I don’t think people are so much doubting his intelligence as doubting the sincerity of his about-face?
Is he against Trump because he’s become enlightened, and wishes to renounce all the bigoted ideals Trump championed?
Or has Trump’s deranged rampage personally hurt him more than he could tolerate? And now he wants a more placid ride?
It’s hard to say. And I’m not very willing to let a fascist get away scot-free, even if a few reformed racists have to suffer the social consequences of their actions in the meanwhile. It’s not charitable, sure. But fascism is a disease and you don’t eradicate a disease by being charitable when quarantining.
Surely there’s nothing in your life that took you a while to understand? Statements like yours always come off as elitist, and its hard to imagine you’d hold yourself to the same standard.
To readers passing by: the opposing views articulated above illustrate two archetypal notions of justice that are both truly ancient and worthy of your consideration.
The backlash against Minneapolis was bipartisan, at least among the people. The backlash to the war is even more mainstream. Donald’s popularity is even worse than that of Jimmy Carter, so a significant percentage of people who voted Republican are likely to flip or simply not vote in the next election.
The problem is that people who voted Republican, admit it, and then affirm publicly they’re going to vote differently have the fingers of Democratic partisans (And hypocritically, at that, given their support of genocide) wagging in their face, and people are more likely to not vote at all than to vote for someone who outwardly and purposely hates them despite their change of heart.

Too bad half the country is dumber than this.
Yes, the three time Trump voter. Genuine intelligence. Give me a break.
The intelligence here is the ability for this person to change their core beliefs after seeing, and accepting, facts.
It matters less how long it took for them to get here, and more that they are here now
If it takes a decade to see and accept facts it’s no so much intelligence as an accidental brain neuron firing.

I’d say it matters quite a lot that it took them this long to get there. Quite a lot indeed.
These people should be banned from polite society and be glad that’s all.

You’re in the wrong community it seems. This is a hate community towards Trump lol
