This isn’t cynicism. It’s reality. These people have a lot of red in their ledger. This is not redemption. It’s the bare minimum to save them from being pure scum. Not they’re just mostly scum.
just to be clear, I'm not putting those people on a pedestal and I'm not calling them heroes. Certainly not. But there has do be a middle ground between calling them heroes and calling them scum where we can recognize a.) that they still were a part of the problem, but b.) at least made a positive contribution. And I take every Trumpist/Republican who chooses to do so over those cowards who choose to take the fifth or say nothing altogether.
