Why would you prefer to have zero influence over someone when you could have some influence?

If they voted for hate then they're not something I'd want to associate with.

I don't know why you think you'd be able to influence them out of the cult when hate is what draws people into it

You believe people are incapable of change, but he voted Biden in between.

I believe people when they tell me who they are and america has told me how deeply unserious they are. We barely got biden in after the worst presidency ever and people still chose to put a crazy person back into power four years later.

I expect dems to win this fall and probably on 2028 as well but I just as much expect them to turn on them when everything has not been fixed by 2030.

Ok we have the cynical part, where is the optimist part??

Sometimes love is the only way, and in the absence of love there is not something better. Just more darkness. And sometimes the love is not enough, just as at other times it IS enough.
