We have to agree where we ARE before we stand a chance to agree about what we do from here.

Or just grow up, admit you were wrong, and do something about it. "It'll make them feel bad!" Good, they should feel bad. They voted for an openly hostile, dumb, Russian bootlicker of a president. I just don't get this post that keeps being reposted and why coming together means forgetting how we got here.

Imagine an abusive wife trying to come back to her husband because she didn't realize she signed a prenup and wants to say she was lied to about leaving now that life is hard. Like, no, not going to take any responsibility for my temper/violence, or even say I'm going to change, let's just pretend I didn't know that punching you in the face was gonna leave a black eye because I didn't think it would hurt my hand.
