They may be lying to you and themselves because it can be hard to accept that they were wrong. This is just an aspect of human behaviour. Perhaps in her mind she always had doubts about Comrade Spraytan but never expressed those because of partisanship, and so the pro-Trump messages she expressed before didn’t register as strongly to her as they did to you.
Memory is a weird thing, and we all have issues like this. For me, I remember now that Telsa has always been a shitty car company. However also I tried to convince my wife to buy one in 2018. So the part of my memory that remembers that I always knew their build quality sucked got muddled and overemphasized in my recollection even if it was always there. (Thank gourd I didn’t buy one)
You can still acknowledge the truth but spin it in a positive way. The most important thing is that now they are on our side, helping to defend and protect our country. I’d try to congratulate and support her journey, and contrast what she’s saying now what with she said then in a positive and supportive way.
We need more conservatives on our side, supporting Canada and not MAGA.
They're never on our side. They're on our side because they're feeling the pain.
You can work together to deal with the consequences of Trump, but never trust them. Remember that their values align with Trump and will vote against you as soon as you inconvenience them
Absolutely agree.
I’m just trying to stress that it’s important to have even the people we vehemently disagree with allied with us on the issue of sovereignty. The last thing we want is more MAGA like Danielle Smith or lil PP getting power.
Because whether we like it or not, someday the right will get in power. In BC we were incredibly close, and the federal polls are currently looking tight. So I want to encourage the pro-Canadian elements in our right flank even if I don’t prefer them to take power
