I am not obligated to forgive regretful trump voters. So there's this video floating the internets [View all]

A regretful trump supporter posted a video crying that she is still getting hateful comments despite apologizing. She says she has been making videos to warn other trump supporters, but it still feels that it will never be enough for some people. There are response videos sympathizing with her, warning that we should be welcoming people like her. Others have said they can't forgive her. I fall in the latter camp. Her crying about not being forgiven pretty much ticked me off.
Her biggest problem is people on the internet making comments that hurt her feelings. Meanwhile, people are dead, families are being ripped apart. People are terrified to leave their homes. Countless people have died after USAID was ripped away. Over 300,000 black women lost their jobs due to Doge cuts. The ripple effects of that will be felt for years to come.
So sorry, if I can't empathize with this lady crying about mean comments.
I am glad she's apologized and making videos to warn people. Doesn't mean I have to forgive her. A victim does not have to forgive their abuser, even when the abuser is truly sorry.
