It's hard to forgive somebody with as much hate as they have. Their hatred is so strong in hating other people...women, POC, dis abled, animals, and this country, they voted for a pedophile to appease their hatred.

They make us beg (pleading they have changed and never again, please tell people to forgive me so I can fuck them over again!) to put on a facade that we are OK with their treatment of us? No. To people like MAGA, we are weak when we forgive. They see themselves (maybe unconsciously) better, braver, stronger than us. I will never give them the opportunity again to ruin our laws, our democracy, our land, and our immigrants again.

They knew what they were doing. They lie when they say they 'didn't know'.

Personally, no, I don't think I have it in me to forgive them, at all.
