What do we do about the Trumpites around us? Like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who spoke eloquently this week about her terrifying experience during the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, Americans are expected to forgive and forget before we’ve even stitched up our wounds. Or gotten our vaccines against the pandemic that former President Trump utterly failed to mitigate.
My neighbors supported a man who showed near-murderous contempt for the majority of Americans. They kept him in business with their support.
But the plowing.
On Jan. 6, after the insurrection, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) issued an aw-shucks plea for all Americans to love their neighbors. The United States, he said, “isn’t Hatfields and McCoys, this blood feud forever.” And, he added, “You can’t hate someone who shovels your driveway.”
At the time, I seethed; the Capitol had just been desecrated. But maybe my neighbor heard Sasse and was determined to make a bid for reconciliation.
So here’s my response to my plowed driveway, for now. Politely, but not profusely, I’ll acknowledge the Sassian move. With a wave and a thanks, a minimal start on building back trust. I’m not ready to knock on the door with a covered dish yet.
I also can’t give my neighbors absolution; it’s not mine to give. Free driveway work, as nice as it is, is just not the same currency as justice and truth. To pretend it is would be to lie, and they probably aren’t looking for absolution anyway.
But I can offer a standing invitation to make amends. Not with a snowplow but by recognizing the truth about the Trump administration and, more important, by working for justice for all those whom the administration harmed. ..

What a sad, sorry, hate-filled woman.
“the Capitol had just been desecrated”
As if the Commies ever cared about it
‘Member all those times y’all rioted and trashed DC?
Guess that was Good Desecration
We took them a big pot of homemade corn dip and some chips when they were moving in. Nice people.
Desecrated?
The Capital has been desecrated with sociopaths and psychopaths who answer not to the American people but to globalists, tyrants and crooks of every variety.
They’ve been selling out this country for decades, Communist China being the most dangerous and visible example.
First, find a nice quiet place to sit and think and then aks yourself, "Why am I surrounded by so many Trump supporters? What am I missing?"
And then sit there. Just sit there. The answer will come. And you'll be free.
No. These people are 100% committed to their Communist inspired agenda. They are pure evil and deserve to be treated as the Domestic Enemies that they are. To assign “insanity” to them and their odious methods of subversion and treason is to give them a pass. I refuse to do that.
AOC lied, in fact this entire article is a lie! WTH
The massive gaslighting continues.
Forget about all the actual BLM destruction and rioting over the summer citizen - recall the INSURRECTION AND SEDITION of 6 hours where the insane rioters sat.. SAT IN PELOSI’S OFFICE! Where they crammed along the velvet ropes in the rotunda and marched to occupy the capital floor... the capital floor! Who did they think they were?! Some marxists in seattle that overtook and occupied the city’s capital building for days?!
“ But I can offer a standing invitation to make amends. Not with a snowplow but by recognizing the truth about the Trump administration”
No, YOU need to recognize the truth. You have believed a lie and the truth is going to be painful at first.
AOC Emails Supporters, Asks Them to Mass-Report People Who Tweeted #AlexandriaOcasioSmollet
Using her office to violate the Constitutional rights of fellow citizens...
Talk about an impeachable offense.
The maniacal result of the disease (or perhaps defective genes) of TDS-unhinged liberalism.
Lies, lies, lies, lies, and more lies. The producer of this screed is evil or mentally deranged, or both.
The Anti-Trumpers are worried. But it is such fun to keep them off-balance.
(BOO! The boogie man is agonna gitcha!)
These folks may never love us, or even respect us. But they darned sure do fear us.
Feed that fear. Maybe they shall all retreat to their basements.

Picture of self-satisfied LEFTist! Her CV contains New York Times, Harpers Magazine, Wired Magazine and Slate. She lives in the LEFT bubble but do not excuse her, she HATES and revels in her HATE!
These people don’t have enough critical thinking skills to do what you suggest.
“It’s okay to hate democrats.”
She has that blank stare look found in many cults.
Heaven’s Gate had the best examples of it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's this about lying? Is lying a bad thing? You don't like lies?
Then what about the "eloquent" Sandy Cortez crapola you mentioned in the first paragraph of your article?
