PB - I think it has a lot to do with religious beliefs. I've always considered myself a liberal libertarian but I leaned democrat until I finally started to believe in God. Before that I really looked down on religious types and conservatives in general as ignorant and uneducated. I thought they were blinded by their belief in God. Now I realize I was the one who was blinded all those years.
God never gives up on anyone.
While you're here in this world there is always a chance. You shouldn't be so fatalistic. I'm sure God would welcome even Hillary or Soros if they TRULY repented. Don't think he wants anyone of his creations to end up there and he'd be willing to leave his whole flock to get back the ones that were led astray.
