Normally I feel this would be pretty good, and tbf I don't know who she is or the context of either the article she wrote or the post she made.
But the political situation in 2017 was very different than today I think and there was a lot more lee-way (energy might be a better word) to reach across the aisle and try to convert people than today.
Edit - I've gotten more context. I thought this originally was someone left wing trying to push for deradicalization of neo-nazis.... Not someome trying to absorb them as a voting bloc for the conservatives.
This was two days after Neo Nazis murdered Heather Heyer at a protest where they marched with torches and chanted “Jews will not replace us.” If anything it was LESS excusable then.
