    That’s fantastic. This encourages taking personal responsibility over their action. I think it’s important to allow people to learn and grow, without the shame. Shame keeps people locked into their false beliefs. The more apologetics we have, the faster change will come. With that said, don’t forget these people. They still have fucked up beleifs.

      I agree.

      I feel that on our end, it’s going to be more important than ever that it’s not just what we say but how we say it that will actually change how those who voted for Trump will feel.
      People are capable of self reflection, but if you don’t believe it then you’re helping them to have no shot at it.

        I have learned that people tend fulfill my expectations of them, so if i want them to do better i have to genuinely expect better of them and treat them with utmost compassion when they miss the mark
