A win is a win and you're letting good be the enemy of perfect.
Exactly, people somehow expect this to be fixed overall without each individual having to change, which they'll naturally do one-by-one. Utopian ideas are nice, but it's a bit very unrealistic to expect everyone to wake up at the exactly same UTC time suddenly and no longer be bigots. That's not how this changes. It changes one by one.
And sometimes it seems to go further than that. They want them to be changed retroactively it seems. Once a bigot, always a bigot seems to be the prevalent outlook. It's paramount to recognize that this line of thinking ultimately comes from personal bitterness. That bitterness is valid and an expected emotional response to the hate that is constantly spewed by bigots. However, we need to embrace redemption more if we want to encourage personal change.
