A problem I foresee:

Folks are looking forward to "People who supported Trump coming to their senses and joining the fight against fascism".

… the problem: It is so

incredibly rare

For people to swallow their pride, admit wrong, & do the right thing

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

There is a massive gulf between the segment of society that steers itself away from cruelty, sadism, sociopathic tendencies, and fascism

Vs

The segment that believes they can't be blamed for choosing Option F off the menu, because if it's so bad, why would they put it on the menu, eh

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

There is no culture in America or the English Speaking World of backing down, apologising, and changing course

There is an overwhelming culture of Never Back Down, of overwhelming adversarial engagement

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

If [person who enabled and moved in fascist circles for years while ignoring the clear statements of fascist intent] were to suddenly have the light of realisation dawn on them, that no, Curtis & JD & Peter weren't just trolling teh libz & gaming the markets & shitposting, they really do intend to…

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

If that kind of person had a dawning of realisation and decided to move … what would it even look like? How would we know? How could they make amends? How could they be trusted? How could they escape that lifestyle & culture?
