I feel like I’m crazy as this was one of the people exposed as a Russian plant when Twitter briefly showed where you posted from. Why does anyone care what a foreign agent thinks about their country? The account is designed to destabilize the country and sow confusion. Bravo, it worked, and here everyone is still falling for the BS?! WTF!
Because the account is probably trying get people to forget it’s a Russian plant by seeming remorseful and ‘real’. In a few months I’m sure it’ll be wielding it’s influence over the thousands of followers in a nice Russian propaganda way
Or because Russia’s intelligence is already on the next step of its plan, where it destabilizes Trump in favor of another fascist, inducing even more chaos as internal fights erupt in the GOP’s ranks.
Yeah, those eyes aren’t opened. That motherfucker will vote Republic卐n again.
“I’m still a pile of rain soaked garbage with a dollop of feces on top. I’ll still vote like the bigot I am. I’m sorry though.”
Says a lot about America that she couldn’t just say “she was wrong”. She first had to attack the people she doesn’t agree with. This image encapsulates just how broken the US is.
The US isn’t broken. We just have a loud voting idiot problem.
I don’t think that this fits here. This is someone saying they’re sorry that they didn’t listen, not someone saying how could this happen.
While also still saying they hate just about everything there is about you. This isn’t an apology it’s an attempt to reclaim some moral dignity.
They will do it again.
I’m not commenting on that aspect of the letter. I agree that it is very non apologetic in the beginning. But it is indeed an apology and regardless of whether or not they mean it, that’s just not what this subreddit is supposed to be about.
Nah it belongs here. FAFO
I mean, if you say that this subreddit means FAFO then that’s what it means, but it does not at all mean that right now.
What’s a FAFO?
Why are we highlighting this? Arent there any activist or organizations who are more deservant of our attention?
She’s wrong about the rest of her beliefs too.
Seems like he could potentially be reached. Trump isn’t who Fox News said he was and neither are we.
Pathological malignant narcissist’s first attempt at apologizing for anything serious in their life.
Rating: 0.5/10 (F–)
Only not 0.0 because it is at least an attempt, technically, they did at least identify some things that they did… but they don’t actually directly express regret for them… though you could maybe, possibly, conclude that they mean to imply this.
Every single other element of this is abysmal and indicates insincerity, that its more of a panic response than anything meaningful.
They have not done any self reflection.
They have no understanding of what fundamentally caused them to make the error.
They don’t care at all to have an actual dialogue as they are just asserting what the other person thinks, and attack the person they’re apologizing to in the ‘apology’.
Its obvious that they are furious that they’ve got no other choice than to admit some kind of being wrong if they want to be taken any kind of seriously about anything, ever again.
… and they obviously do not present a plan for their own self reflection / self improvement going forward.
It is absurd and laughable that they think this consitutes their eyes being open.
And that’s all assuming this is any kind of genuine or from an actual real person.
This is an admission of guilt, like a child getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar, not an actual apology though, as they’re barely cognizant of what they’ve done, what needs making amends, how that would be done.
Laughably pathetic, when considered as if it was a genuine apology.
The real Trump Derangement Syndrome is this, is willingly joining a hateful death cult, and then doing hateful death cult things, with glee, and justifying them through vicious lies and nearly a decade of abdicating the responsibility every adult has to think critically for themselves.
We have to try to forgive, or at least be civil with, the former trump acolytes otherwise we could push them further into trump’s hate hole. Regardless of politics we as humans often make stupid mistakes from time to time.
It’s ok to chuckle at them from our corner of the ininternet. Don’t worry, they won’t see it.
I don’t know. We seem to be aware of their screed. I’m sure they’re aware of ours.
I refused to listen, mocked you, and laughed at you when he won.
Sorry…
As the zoomers say, cry about it.
Maybe your Jesus turn-the-other-cheek pitch would be better reserved for the conservative buddies currently stripping your livelihood away lol
This has gotta be fake. I have never known a Republican to admit wrongdoing.
They don’t really admit wrongdoing. They claim Trump deceived them, I assume about being a sexual predator and a pedophile.
They stand by their position on his policies, which are arguably worse for America than his depravity. Explicitly they mention the misogyny (abortion bans) and disregard for human lives (deregulation of guns), but claim to disagree on everything else - which must include climate and environmental protection, poverty and wealth, foreign policy etc.
They? This is a single person writing.
Also incorrect, since the single person writing is a woman.
So you think. Never been catfished, eh?
The pronoun “they” is all inclusive, it can be a man, woman, or non-binary person

I didn’t click the link but since I’m older than 5 I understand that’s been a gender neutral pronoun for hundreds of years.
I was trying to convey this to my mom several years ago as she was trying to wrap her mind around trans people and how some use the pronouns they/them. She couldn’t believe me when I said it was already a grammatical convention to use they as a singular pronoun. I remember saying “imagine finding someone left a black coat in a movie theatre and you find it. You could say when you leave it at the lost and found, ‘I hope they come back to get their coat’, as you don’t know the gender of who it belongs to.” I was very confident that would get through to her. Nope, she insisted she would say “I hope he or she gets their coat!”
Some people just dig their heels in when they’re wrong.
In fairness, “they” is usually used when either the gender is unknown or the person is known to use they/them pronouns. I think in this case, vga is objecting to using it when the gender is known. It is a little unusual but “they” is still gramatically acceptable to use for a man or woman when the gender is known
The best part is, she still unknowingly used singular they. “I hope he or she gets THEIR coat”
Are you fucking kidding me? Dropping all the culture war bullshit, they can be used here and be grammatically correct.
We should not be penalising people for admitting when they’re wrong, otherwise they’ll never admit they’re wrong and stick even more to their harmful beliefs. Good for them for having the courage to change their mind about something so fundamental. Hopefully now they know Trump is bad they can also consider/have conversations about some other things too.
This is a fake account designed to sow chaos. They can’t vote in your elections, they just want you all to suffer.
We’re well past that point.
Nazis don’t get to apologize. They get tried at Nuremberg.
The fact that this woman still refuses to renounce any of her values inspite of the current direction of her party is very telling. All she probably cares about is that her family’s business is currently failing. So now it affects her. Don’t fall for the narcissist victim routine, she only cares that her face finally got eaten.
There were about 8 million NSDAP members at its peak. About 200 were tried at Nuremberg. Tens of thousands of other party members were simply fined or lost their bureaucratic jobs.
If they’re truly sorry and see the light that they turn toward leftism with time to recover sure. This isn’t that, this is a spiteful bigot who still says they’ll be bigoted to the end.
If the the beliefs of universal social safety nets and workers rights and taxing billionaires is “abhorent to every value she has”, then she is still a major piece of shit. Her realising, way too late, that Trump is a piece of shit doesn’t excuse or undo any of her other vitriolic hatred, which she openly states that she still believes in. Nor should it
“when I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong” … This is a statement of intent. That you will say you’re wrong, when you are wrong…
This is not an admission of fault. This is not saying “I am wrong”.
Way to dance around saying the one thing that actually matters in this whole damn thing… And… You’re sorry? I don’t want your sorry. What will your sorry do for everyone fucked over by the rapist convict you put in the Whitehouse?
Fuck you. I hope the leopards eat the rest of you too.
May the leopards feast on her guts.
