Yeah let's go for revenge and total submission, great idea...
Lots of people have been propagandized. On the rare moments when they see a glimpse of the truth, we should welcome them in and take the chance to work together against a common enemy. Make allies, not enemies. Every enemy we defeat is ONE enemy down, but every ally gained is TWO enemies down.
Until they acknowledge their mistake and apologize for demonizing us Trump supporters for so many years, they are still enemies to me. I still have many people in my life like this who are still treating me badly while they fail to acknowledge or even notice the hell they've created because they still live in a morally smug elitist little cushy bubble. Don't tell me I have to "rise above that" after the emotional abuse I've suffered--in some cases, a full lifetime of invalidation of my thoughts and beliefs.
I'm sure a lot of people here can relate to that - I know I can. It is painful.
At the end of the day, you can either forgive and move on with your life, or you can hold on to these feelings and allow people like this to continue to rule over your life and your emotions. Do not let them do that to you. It is hard to let go when you have been wronged so badly, but I promise you will be happier if you forgive and forget.
Move on with your life. Do not expect them to say sorry. I don't say this for their sake, I say it for your sake. Nothing good will come of waiting for apologies, or wanting revenge.
If you want to win, it always requires being the bigger man. Because even when people have wronged you, it is better to give them a chance to be allies than to decide that they are your enemies forever. That is a waste. You don't need to trust them, but when your goals align with their goals, you can use that to your advantage.
No, these people don't believe voter fraud happened.
They are still the enemy.
