First of all so there’s no confusion. Let me say that I think that this is absolutely genius and love it and I’m going to make sure I tune into all the different posts on this subject from you.
But what I found interesting was that when I read it I felt sick to my stomach, and then tears in my eyes, with the idea of talking this way to some of these entrenched MAGA supporters. I realize, though that is MY problem and the problem of forgiveness before being able to have the conversation. It reminds me of the process known as Ho‘oponopono.
I will circle back, but basically I just wanted to say thank you and to let you know that this piece is hugely impactful for me and good for my own personal processes to even consider approaching the situation this way!
Hi Clyde, thank you so much for that very honest and vulnerable share. You are very much not alone in your struggle between what you'd like to do and what you feel able to do right now. We're all there somewhere on our journeys.
But what's important and laudable is your awareness both of the need to try to do this work and what you need to do in order to eventually do it.
One thing that's evolved with Smart Politics over the five years I've been involved is how much work we often have to do for ourselves and our own emotions and forgiveness before we can even get to the actual conversations with Trump supporters. I love the concept of Ho'oponopono and would love to hear more about how you embrace it and put it to work in this process.
I'm glad you found us, and hope you can hang around and share more of your work and journey.
Sorry no can do they need to come with their hat in hand and apologize then I may let them back in. I am not going to beg or “try to understand them” that time is over
YES it is very “understandable and common” more people should try it! FYI - I am not looking for a therapist, thanks but no thanks , not getting sucked into this session.

Hi PBJ, that's a very understandable and common feeling these days.
Do you feel there's a way to help someone reach that point where they decide to apologize? What would such an apology look and feel like for you?
Thank you for commenting!

That's fine, PBJ, totally get it.
So, are you seeking something here?
(And I promise, if you don't want to engage any further, I won't bother you anymore :) )
