    I’m gonna be honest here, it’s gonna take a lot for me to feel like Republicans deserve a second chance. Like, every registered Republican gets to pay reparations — for starters. And I don’t mean to me specifically, I actually just mean straight up reparations to black people. We can talk about reparations for everyone else in the world fucked over by them after they agree to that.

        That’s the thing, it doesn’t matter who I picked first — expecting Republicans to take responsibility for everything their kind has done is an impossibility. These people will never pay reparations willingly. It doesn’t matter if they’re to black people, gay people, trans people; these people will always try to get out of it despite having terrorized them for generations.

        Shit, just look at the Nazis. A Jew signed the Treaty of Versailles? Well it must be the Jews that are the reason why we’re suffering post WW1 — certainly not because of the consequences of our actions. These types of people are perpetually punching down.

          I definitely agree that a heavy handed approach is necessary. These people have routinely taken advantage of forgiveness. It would be stupid to try again.
