…I could have told you that 🤷

Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to “just get along” / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn’t work.
There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.
Though I agree with you, i think there has to be a pragmatic aspect to this
I want MORE right wing idiots to realize they’re wrong and join our camp. The more the better. Remember, these people are still our neighbors, they still exist and we will have to interact with them outside our homes. I want more reasonable people, so when we do have converts, please receive them with open arms.
Okay, you were a huge idiot, but welcome to sanity part 1. Of they’re big enough to realize they were wrong (and they’ve had a LOT of brainwashing, it takes a lot for them to snap out of the crazy) we should be big enough to say bygones.
If we don’t we’ll make it harder for people to move out of the right wing camp, and I want muchuch less people in the right wing camp
The fact that she’s admitting she was wrong about the one issue that personally affects her doesn’t mean she’s not a genocidal fascist anymore.
I don’t think she’s a “right wing idiot” or that she’s seriously joining anyone’s camp. She’s just an influencer trying to pull a new source of revenue.
She was wrong, certainly. But the play - sucking up to right-wing oligarchs in hopes of a six or seven digit payday down the line - wasn’t stupid. It was a calculated risk that failed to pay out.
This isn’t an issue of physical camps. She’s not joining a military and putting on a uniform. She’s fishing for dupes to send her money, because her old income streams have dried up.
This is less “winning someone over to a camp” and more “trying to bribe an unreliable mercenary”.
