In reply to the discussion: I won't forgive people who voted for Trump. [View all]Keepthesoulalive
(813 posts)30. That is your decision
But minorities, immigrants and trans people feel differently. They are marginalized and threatened.
They are feeling pain . Their reality is very different, don't say gay , woke, and equating immigrants to vermin. Im glad your world is safe ,but that doesnt apply to everyone.

Not mere "different views". Voting for Trump indicates a deep moral deficiency in one's character, well worth avoiding.

Me too. I still have hope that some of them will have their eyes opened and hearts and minds changed.

Agreed. Being a white male in the business world in the Midwest, I don't really have the option to ostracize Trump

The catch with forgiveness is that we forgive for our own mental health, not theirs.

Sure, only my opinion. Resentment and grudges cloud my ability to focus on the here and now.

No one cares if you do or not. I doubt very much they care or want your forgiveness.

I go a step further, I won't forgive those who voted third party or didn't vote also.
