If their mouth is moving and words are escaping. It’s all lies. They are completely divorced from reality.

....To the people that you offended and do all that you can to repair the damage and even then the apology must be accepted by those you harmed.
She should also acknowledge that here constituents are getting uncomfortable with you and this is another publicity stunt.

And please don't think that I'm defending her, especially considering how she used her ignorance for hate.

I took a first date to see "Schindler's List" back in 1993 after it was recently released in theaters. Not a good "first date" movie at all, I know, but it was the only movie showing at that theater which was well-reviewed. And she seemed eager to see it, so that's what we did.

After it was over and we walked toward my car, she lamented that it was the worst movie she'd ever seen. She asked, "Movie reviewers really liked that?! How could anyone even write such a story?'" So that comment confused me at first, but I soon realized that she never knew any of those types of things ever happened in real life! When she finally realized that the movie was based on historical events that really happened, then she started crying. So that's what made her a better person than Gangreene, since I could tell that woman at least possessed empathy.

She later suggested that we never date again, but I think that's because I kept bringing up my shock about her lack of education. I'd apologize for seeming condescending, but then I'd keep compulsively doing it as more thoughts crossed my mind. Such as, "What were you thinking when the movie showed real people mourning what happened at the end?!"

Earlier during the date, at a restaurant, she'd mentioned her strict Christian upbringing. So she might've even been home-schooled for all I know.

... to socialists and communists, when they were instead fascists more similar to the Republican party... and with German industrialists largely backing the Nazis because they viewed them as the best opposition to the socialists and communists in Germany.

So she's still an ignorant dumbass at best, but more likely continuing to be deceitful and full of hate.
