Forgiveness, Possibility of, for Leftists
When abusers ask for forgiveness, they typically mean "Let's pretend the abuse didn't happen and put things back exactly as they were until I feel like abusing you again."
I don't think those of us who've been thrown together into Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" should consider that as the kind of sincere repentance from which forgiveness begins.
Yes, "conservatives" generally are, and should be, willing to allow left-wingers to speak without being shot. That's more than some left-wingers have been toward us so it's a generous concession for which the Left should express gratitude.
(It would be helpful if left-wingers had some idea of the enormous breadth of range between the opinions of different people they've called "conservative." Or "deplorable.")
Should left-wingers be able to use social media, or find publishers for things they write? I think censorship is inherently evil. I think it's actually good for those who enforce the law when evildoers are free, even encouraged, to post their evil schemes on social media. However, left-wingers do need to apologize for their tolerance of censorship, call out and disown those who have supported censorship, and publicly support discourse with which they disagree.
Yes. They should be paying for conservative content on their web sites to show that they're not hiding in an echo chamber where they can be brainwashed into supporting murder. They can express their disagreement. This web site has given them examples of how this can be done. They must learn to write and say things like, "Although I've had X number of COVID jabs and don't believe they've done me any harm, I respect this person's well written account of how per son reacted to the vaccine he had." And, "Although I would not have known how to avoid pregnancy if my school hadn't required sex education, after reading I understand why this person thinks it's more than enough for schools to use textbooks that present the facts of life, test the class on the chapter that explains human reproduction, and let anyone who doesn't pass the test talk to the school nurse or counsellor." And, "Although I'd still rather be safe than sorry, I see now that factual evidence does not support the theory of 'global climate change' in which I've believed."
Otherwise, although real conservatives don't censor, leftist voices should find themselves limited to expressing their thoughts on non-paying personal blogs, as distinct from editing newspapers, writing for magazines, or lecturing to paying audiences. They're entitled to freedom of speech and, yes, they should enjoy whatever "freedom of reach" their content can earn on social media. But we shouldn't pay for their stale old ideas.
