    I never said I agree with him or support him. I respect humanity and the infinite experiences of humanity. I feel bad he was, at some point, misled to believe his beliefs and act on them.

      Don’t feel too bad. He’s not a child. He’s a supposedly well-educated adult who knows right from wrong. He made his choices, and now he must suffer the consequences of those choices. We as a society are not here to exonerate people like Giuliani for their self-imposed misfortunes. Save your pity for those who genuinely deserve it.

      If you’re legit and not shitposting, or just looking for a reaction, I see where you’re trying to come from. (Namely the humanity in everyone)

      It’s nearly impossible to express, with this guy, though. No one is going to view him as someone swept along by social structures and ideologies and the circumstances of his upbringing. Or something like that.

        Yeah, after so long. No one is going to sympathize with him. And why should we? But there was probably a time before he was a shitbag and it’s sad he got dragged down.
