@Alyssa_Milano I honestly admire your optimism. On reflection, I think we should treat Trump supporters as if they were drug addicts. (1) they’ve shown that they’re capable of vile behavior. (2) they can’t be trusted without a serious commitment to their rehabilitation. #ForwardTogether /1
@Alyssa_Milano (3) they’re probably not even aware of how messed up they are. (4) they’ve been lied to and sold an addictive vein of information that makes them feel good about their country and their politics without any notion of apology of the harm it does. /2
@Alyssa_Milano (5) They’re still our fellow citizens who deserve to be treated with consideration as people. (6) They need to be held to account for the destructive and dishonest things they’ve done in the past and we need to be able to do that without demonizing and hating them 3/
@Alyssa_Milano So... as with drug addicts, you shouldn’t give them money or trust them with any sort of role that gives them power over anyone. But there’s always an open invitation to engage and talk and figure things out. /4
