Purity testing has been the biggest contributor to the downfall of democracy.
If we weren’t so ready to cut each other down trump wouldn’t have gotten the foothold he did.
Until the progressive culture in America gets off its high horse the corporate donors are going to just keep us infighting while they sweep away our rights.
We need to accept that nobody is perfect and to allow anyone who wants to pull away from trump/conservativism to do so.
All this “once a X always a X” rhetoric only reinforces X identity because it denies any possible alternative.
The guy is a murderous Nazi. There is no evidence he is reformed other than supposed Reddit posts. I am sorry, but this is definitely not an example of a purity test. This is a simple test of logic and you failed.
*years of supposed Reddit posts showing a clear new ideology, which Graham didn’t even want shown. These were dug up by opposition. That just makes those posts feel more genuine in my mind. Maybe he broke free of the Military’s cult ideology and now this is him making amends. Can we accept an apology from a person is trying to save us?
No, I cannot accept someone who is/was a Nazi who killed people that is being used to create a populist sentiment and to continue this appeal to Patriarchy.
I have watched him in interviews, he is weasely and is constantly fed information by political operatives. He is contrived by the powers at be to create some unholy union of voters.
