    I am by no means saying we “forget about it and move on.”

    Empathy is not forgiveness. Empathy is not returning to the status quo. There is rampant mental illness in this country on “both sides” and we need to learn how to move forward together without forgetting what happened or we aren’t going anywhere. We barely knew what mental health even was after WW2.

    There will be those that are too far gone and those who actively wished for the pain of others. Those are special cases, but the majority of Trump voters voted out of fear, not hate. If you believe it was more about hate; Congratulations you’ve been successfully propagandized.
