What does a non-free pass look like, then? How do we reconcile with the people on the far end of the political spectrum?

Honestly, who better? He has a following, people who know and respect him as a Conservative leader. How else do you propose getting that message of unity out to a Conservative audience? Besides that, if a person sees the error of their ways

For everyone flagging this and trying to pretend it doesn't exist, that's a pretty significant part of why Trump won in the first place. Engage with it. Understand it. Stop attacking ad hominem and learn to find common ground. You
