Honestly the view of its impossible for people to change is just as stubborn as most conservativism. If we reject the possibility for people to change how do we fix any of this? Do we need to kill about 50% of the population?
This idea of pushing away those that come to their senses only helps the conservatives achieve their goals by forcing them back to their old views.
It’s odd to me that conservative media celebrates converts and uses that to feed their propaganda machine which then increases the “converts”. But then we’re going to go out of our way to help them retain people by pushing them away when they start to doubt the propaganda.
You say “people change”. But, they don’t. Not really anyway.
This is exactly why history will always end up repeating itself. Because people never fucking learn. We’re literally running through the same cycle, over and over again, just with slight variations on the same theme…and folks like yourself will always convince yourself that the best thing to do is exactly the same thing we did the last time, hoping for different results.
If we assume people can’t change, which is bullshit you believe people can change but you just falsely assume they can only change in one direction, what’s your solution?
If we believe your people cannot, there is no solution besides a whole lot of death or giving up entirely.
Also I have no interest of “doing the same thing as last time”. If we go back to the Confederacy every memeber of their government should have hanged. In modern times we should actually bring our public officals to trial for their crimes.
We need major changes to our society as a whole. That’s only going to happen if we get people to switch sides to achieve a majority. Or the less savory option of trying to murder the other half of the population while they try to do the same
It’s insane to believe we can change a system and not change its people
Btw human history isn’t the past 150 years of American politics. People have an immense capacity to change and learn.
People do change, but you have to let it.

It’s the definition of insanity.
