This is the opposite of healing. The people who were harmed need healing. The abusive people who did the harming don& #39;t.

Don& #39;t reach out to a Trump supporter.

Reach out to somebody that Trump harmed instead.

As there are numerous groups that Trump and his supporters have subjected to menace, harm, exclusion, and death, and unrepentantly intend to continue to do so to the extent they can: yes. Yes there are many groups that could use our empathy.

Heal the harmed, not the harmers https://twitter.com/adam_zethraeus/status/1325158659467341828">https://twitter.com/adam_zeth...
Remember our national reality is best understood on an axis of abuse and enablement. Enablement of abuse has become so traditional, it’s uncritically presented as virtue.

There are going to be a lot of people who want us all to do the work of reconciliation on behalf of abusive people, without consideration for those who will continue to suffer abuse if we do, and that is simply not appropriate, and we should say so whenever we see it. https://twitter.com/juliusgoat/status/1322865154359439360">https://twitter.com/juliusgoa...
In truth it’s the only way we can finally create a national spiritual shift away from the incredibly toxic and dominant mindset of forgiveness of abusers as proxy on behalf of the abused without their consent, and of reconciliation without reparation. https://twitter.com/kadenw0lf/status/1325196035187113987">https://twitter.com/kadenw0lf...
