          Agree with this, but people also need to take their lumps for being wrong. Glad you made it here, Matt, now help get rid of Trump.

          Hey, @VillageIdiot136 my concern is that if we lump on Trump supporters when they see the light, they may resist saying "I was wrong."

          In my experience, giving people safe harbor when they try to come over to my side works better than "I told you so." YMMV
