    I like the attack that Donald has lost it. Let people have the out - they can think he was great before, so they were right to support him, but now Donald has changed so they can oppose him without ever admitting they were wrong.

      It would suck not to hold people accountable for their very bad decisions, but at this point if it means putting this shit behind us, I’d begrudgingly take it.

        It’s all about creating a permission structure for people to change their minds without breaking their minds.

        Allow them to change with grace and acceptance and embrace them for changing.

          Is this how deprogramming works? Many of his followers have made him their way of life.

          Changing a person’s worldview isn’t a trivial undertaking.

      Keen observation. And here I was, focusing mostly on the Couchfucker aspect of the ad. I’m glad you pointed this out as I hadn’t caught that.
