      Definitely. It’s still good to see and acknowledge on the rare occasion it happens. To help remind ourselves that no matter how divided we seem. No matter the atrocities they enable/justify because of propaganda. If you break the propaganda they’d be likely allies. It puts things back in perspective.

        I am a massive critic of 12-step programs, but she credits it for getting her out of the MAGA cult and admitting that what she did was wrong, so they do have some value.

          Yep, ultimately nothing. No intervention, no program regardless of number of steps. Will help anyone not open to or seeking change. The mandatory way they can be applied sometimes definitely reeks a bit of grifting. But they can work for the right person when you find them. That’s a big but for sure though.
