Nope.

You want to wear a hairshirt, feel free. Don't call for mandatory hairshirts to be worn in public to show penance. And the obligatory ashes sprinkled liberally on one's person, I'm not into "Just say now!" but, rather, "Just say no!"

It's fine to say "Trump doesn't deserve" but I'm not into collective guilt or collective punishment.
