"Forgiveness and Redemption will come after every single one of them admits they voted for a Racist Fascist and they denounce him."

So if 99% admit they voted for a Racist Fascist and denounce him, Forgiveness and Redemption are impossible for any one of them because 1% refuse.

In other words, Forgiveness and Redemption will never happen for any Trump voter.

And that's OK, insofar as elections do not hinge on it.

As I tried to articulate in my first post, it is not up to me to tell anyone to forgive someone who caused them injury. I've never walked a few steps in your shoes, let alone a mile. People born with far less privilege than myself have suffered injuries I can never fully understand, even after I've heard the personal account.

Redempion resides within the one who caused injury, but the injured have the right to accept or deny it.

Peace.
