Agreed, though at the same time, we need to have them understand that the road to redemption is not just a matter of hopping the fence. Every one of these mooks whining, "I didn't vote for that!"? They did. They voted for exactly that. They just voted for it to happen to someone else.
We cannot let them whitewash their pasts, we cannot let them just carry on while pretending they're on our side, because that's how they bring their fascism to us. And that's how we lose ourselves and each other.
