I think it was a liberal, political commentator Tim Pool, who said, you can never say you are sorry. You can never mollify the left. Whatever you do will not be enough.
I think the best handling of the Left was done by the then CEO of VW. The Left went after VW for naming a vehicle after a tribe that had owned slaves. He said, presumably in German, “They can kiss my @ss.”
Apologies are used as currency by the left, never accepted but leveraged against the “sorry” party by degrees.
“The oppressed person does not actually yearn to be free of the oppression. They yearn to feel their bootheel against the neck of the oppressor.”
