Indeed; you can’t win people over by punching down at them, which establishment Dems and their supporters have done for the past several election cycles. They never seem to learn.

Are you asking me to respect Republicans for voting for a treasonous, backstabbing criminal that tried to usurp the 2020 election by inciting a insurrection? No, sorry, I'm not going to respect them and I will never respect their decision. They can go fuck themselves.

I don't want to "win over" those people, just as much as I don't want to "win over" Nazis during WWII. They are evil, brainwashed, and beyond saving. The best we can hope for is to outvote them and wait for them to see reason themselves. If they have the foresight to actually remove their blinders and understand the GOP for what it actually is, which is a cult, then I can respect their decision making again.
