I am willing to accept defectors, but there needs to be genuine contrition. Not just a bunch of angry people opposing Trump because the fascist policies they eagerly supported and voted for ended up hurting them personally. Those people will never be our allies. They will backstab us the second the chaos subsides.

We are being overrun in a Russian coup, domestic politics IS the battlefield right now, and that resemblance is going to grow when violence enters the mix.

And Stalin was never truly our ally either, it was just a partnership of convenience, and the minute Hitler was dead, we turned on each other. That's okay, at least Hitler was dead, and that was our ONLY shared objective. I'm willing to do that with the TRAD GOP, not anyone who was a true MAGA acolyte. They are actual traitors, and need to be purged out of government forever, and if their treason rises to a level of true action, and not just rhetoric, then they should be prosecuted and imprisoned.
