    People can, and should be allowed to change for the better. People often change their minds on things once they get more information and/or have time to sit with it. We should expect our politicians to do the same, and giving regular people that’ve made honest mistakes but are committed to changing for the better an honest shot is admirable.

    It just so happens that in this particular case, way too many chances were given and no honest attempt to change was made.

      That is 100% bullshit. and you know why?

      If at any point in his life, he regretted his Nazi tattoo, then most tattoo places offer cover up of Nazi tattoos for free. He was a mercenary, he could afford laser treatment. There is absolutely zero justification for him going into politics with said tattoo. And in interviews he reminisced about being a mercenary.

      People can change. but he didn’t. And using ‘people can change’ regarding people with nazi tattoos is some gaslighting bullshit.
