(50,949 posts)listening to me. The only thing I agree with you on is that they are uninformed and uninterested in doing the work to be a responsible citizen. And because of that, what they are really doing is looking for the next sound bite that they can repeat at parties and sound like they know what they are talking about.
And see my post below: what exactly does this détente look like? What rights or values are you going to give up to accommodate them? Because that's really what we're talking about, isn't it?
We're already seeing a collapse of the Democratic party's support for a woman's right to own her own body. That's happening because we don't want to offend that waffling Trump voter. So what are YOU willing to give up so that these erstwhile Trump voters will feel right at home in the Democratic party? Environmental protections? Gay marriage? Funding for public schools? I can't be the only one with a stake in this game. So pony up.
