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

Tuesday

But why would they ever, if they are never going to be forgiven?

Most are not the hardliners, and anyway they were fooled by a whole system designed to brainwash them. They're marks who have been conned, victims.

They did not know what they were doing. They should have but they were deceived. Their vote will definitely harm many. But I separate those who intended to harm them from those who were deceived and believed the lies.
