If you were dumb enough to fall for Democrat policies and their obvious flaws that late into not just your life, but deep into your career, then you shouldn't be "welcome" as a convert. You are so god damned retarded that anything you touch is suspect, and I wouldn't trust you not to "convert" back just as easily.
But the Right loves its "redemption" story, so they will welcome literally any mouthbreater into their ranks as long as they claim to "leave" the Left. Detrans, black, women, as long as you claim to have "woken up" you get instant celeb status.
Being individualists, conservatives tend to believe that self determination and the ability to improve your own life are highly significant personal factors. Hence someone that appears to be taking control of their life from deterministic political forces is to be lauded.
While I don't think that perspective should be abandoned, they would benefit adding a more cynical calculus to their thinking that looks at someone's utility to the cause instead of merely what appears to be their personal journey. Once a person ceases to have utility they should be ignored until they improve, and we should judge by results and not symbolism.
The rise of pragmatists like Tucker would give me much more hope if I believed our voting system was relatively fair.

Key word here. Appearance.
Even ignoring the pragmatic idea of someone providing worth, there is more to "change" than appearances. People who loudly announce their conversions rarely are actually changing as they are instead simply shifting markets and trying for greater applauses, usually by seeing themselves left behind by their former group.
The Right is filled with appearances and an obsession with optics. Even here people whine endlessly about scaring away converts and those who would "join" us against the woke. While every Right figurehead around cowers at the thought of being seen as a no-no label like bigot.
That's why they will rush out these jerkoff articles like this. Because its another black guy they can use to keep up the appearance they aren't racist, with no actual thought further to it.
Its always just trying to sell you something. Someone who intends to diet just goes on a fucking diet. Someone who wants to get back pats for going on a diet just announces it, gets the dopamine hit, and gives up a few days later. Same with this Mayor who isn't going to change a damn thing about his beliefs or actions, he will just put an R next to his name and suddenly he is "based."
The misunderstanding of forgiveness is the real problem. Forgiveness is spiritual, it doesn't absolve necessary consequences. You can forgive a murderer but that doesn't mean he gets out of prison.
In political cases, just because you forgive a guy who screwed things up doesn't mean you have to consider voting for him again.

A lot of this is bad faith bullshit from people with no real arguments against in favor of their cuckservative positions.
There is also the Christian tradition of forgiveness, which like compassion can be a mistake at times.

yeah, conversos are not to be trusted
