We need them if we want to do actual good in this world.

We need people that vote to hurt others because they're stupid enough to believe a talking head on an entertainment channel?

I mean, at what point do we stop making excuses for them and accept that they are awful people. You know, awful people do exist.

I don't see anyone making excuses for them. This post says they were lied to and they can recognize that and decide to change. That's not an excuse. That's called taking responsibility, and it's a good thing.
