A popular older phrase...
"Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it."
If step one is to admit that they've been lied to, then step two has to have them admit that they were wrong in how they voted. Otherwise we'll go through this again, again, and again.
But that'll be a hard sell, as nobody likes to admit that they've been conned/taken advantage of. Thats human nature.

Democrats can admit that Kamala is a shit candidate and maga can admit Trump is a shit president… it’s not that hard actually…
Admitting that a candidate is not good is different than admitting that you voted for the wrong person that's destroying the country (regardless of party).
Also, I've never heard a MAGA person say what you said they can say (italicized part).

Sure… but to put it into perspective democratic leadership was saying that Biden, who looked and sounded like he had dementia, was the greatest president since FDR…. They certainly need to bear responsibility for most of the fault of our current situation.
