My idea of reconciliation tended more towards racial and socioeconomic reconciliation. You can’t achieve true reconciliation and healing without mutual understanding, and that means addressing the issues that led to the injury in the first place. I focused on ingrained racial discrimination, systemic socioeconomic disparity, and an acceptance that everyone deserves dignity and should be treated equally under the Law. Every time a politician had called for National Healing (TM), this is what they allude to. What they actually want is people not to make their jobs difficult and instead forget any inconvenient truths (eg, specific republicans actively supported a coup).
Fascism can fuck right off. People who are brainwashed into fascism need to be confronted and supported to break free from that bs; if they won’t or can’t, then society should shun them as their ideology is a mortal threat to any peaceful democracy.
