I sure as hell wish it didn't come down to this, but it probably has.

"You need to give people who’ve come to hate that their own party runs on dick stories and demeaning others, especially women and people of color, the courage to choose not to rejoin in that hatred out of partisan inertia or Republican self-identity."

And while I am utterly incapable of that level of implicit forgiveness, I'm glad to put my support behind politicians who are.

@emptywheel the point about needing to give these voters courage reminded me of this piece. Many of them do risk losing something real if they don’t fall in line, and it’s worth respecting that in the (incredibly difficult) process of persuasion. https://www.salon.com/2024/10/21/i-started-to-learn-what-patriarchy-was-how-donald-pushed-women-out-of-the/
