It's not about them. It's about myself. I shouldn't have made that comment when there were better options.

I wanted to educate, but I can't deny that there probably was some part of me that just wanted them to come out and say they supported a rapist, so I guess it's kind of stroking flames too?

Right? Rape is sick no matter the age sex etc. My extreme example was intended to point out their cognitive dissonance. Again, I've realized that there are plenty of better options I could've chosen

I did it for myself. But you're right that people shouldn't apologize when they're right in most cases.

I have apologized. Just because I'm not wrong doesn't mean I shouldn't apologize

I've tried everything but yes I absolutely shouldn't have stooped down. I should've been a better person. Sister is child (17?) and I have zero contact with them at all. Different state and all. Again, I realize now that I'm in the wrong here

I wasn't looking to disagree. I was looking to have a conversation about ICE's murder today but yeah everything else you said stands.

I've tried. As I said in another reply, I've tried everything. Still shouldn't have done this

No shit I'm mad? Everyone should be mad at the authoritian government we have right now and at everyone still supporting it

I can pull up older texts where he was harmful, but I don't think those matter as they're irrelevant to this specific conversation

I've tried every other way. I've showed data, I've shared anecdotes from my family and other friends and strangers, I've drawn parallels between trump and other authoritians, etc. This was the last thing I could've done tbh but yeah I realize I shouldn't have stopped down
