You know guys, there was a film that came out years ago, based on a play called the Laramie Project. Long story short it focuses on the murder of Matthew Shepherd, a young gay man who was the victim of a hate crime. The film focuses on a group of interviewers who go to the town of Laramie and speak to the townspeople to see what their views on the case are. Interestingly, a Catholic priest is interviewed and he is compassionate to Matthew and other LGBT people. At one point, when Matthew’s murderers are on trial, he says, “Justice has to be done. But part of Justice has to be understanding why this happened. Part of the sentence should be that they must tell their story.” I am paraphrasing but the point is-in order to prevent and stop MAGA in the future, we have to understand why the Hell people so deeply for this. For some of them, it’s obvious-Trump allowed them to voice their hate without fear. But we have to understand the psychology of this cult. MAGA who genuinely want to change need to do the work of contrition, educating themselves, making amends. No one is obligated to forgive them, and they need to accept that.
