I'd venture a safe guess most here have changed their minds on several things over the years, even core principles. I have.
I used to support gay people.
I used to support the empowerment of women.
I used to support the military and police.
I used to support Israel.
I used to think egalitarianism, individualism, and libertarianism were correct.
I used to be an agnostic.
People change. I'm also a relatively new Christian as well. Accepting Jesus naturally changes your heart. Reading the Bible and believing Jesus' words and lessons changes your heart.
Why would Christians, or right wingers, or anyone here be averse to changing one's mind? Why would we be averse to women changing their minds? Since women are the most susceptible to propaganda and psychological manipulation, if you demonize those who do come to our side, you're effectively telling them that you reject them, don't want them, that they'll never be good enough, and that you want women (or men) to remain under their brainwashing, that they are forever stained and sentenced to hell just for their views, which they were manipulated into.
This isn't a Christian view. We all fall short, but we're all forgiven, now matter how far we fell.
Could Melonie Mac be gritting? Possibly. But to demonize all women who break free of their conditioning, which I see more and more men do, is antithetical to their goals.
if this tweet was posted in like 2010 maybe i could forgive it. But by 2018 when culture was already so extremely woke and insane you are still woke and calling people bigots then no. I cant forgive it . i don't trust any adult who was still woke in 2018.
So you only accept converts so long as their conversion was a long time ago? You're not answering the fundamental problem of your stance, only putting an artificial time limitation on it. If you want people to come around to your views, if you want people to improve, would you not accept them, regardless of how long ago or how soon it was? If you reject new converts wholecloth, you dismiss push away people who would otherwise become your ally. That's not the mentality we should engender if we wish people to realize the truth and accept our views.
I changed several of my above viewpoints in just the last few years, with most occurring between 2016 and 2020. I'm a relatively new convert to many of my current stances. By your own standards, I am unwelcome, and everything I say is false and disingenuine.
They can convert. They just shouldn't be leaders or influencers in conservative movements. i do not trust such people (especially women) and you won't change my mind on it
Saint Paul was exactly that. Went from hunting Christians to becoming one of the core preacher (then eventually one of the biggest leader) in a matter or weeks.
I do think that's a good point, but this chick isn't leading anyone. I know you're annoyed at her opinions on X this week but that's literally all it is.
They just shouldn't be leaders or influencers in conservative movements.
I agree with this somewhat. Leaders should be the best of us, should know what we know, and must prove themselves.

I'm not asking you to blindly and naively accept everyone. I'm asking for you to forgive people who actually repent and accept truth.
There are obviously devious people, false converts, grifters, subversives, and liars who will always attempt to enter our spheres, homes, and nations, in an attempt to take them over and destroy them. Do not welcome or accept those people, but be sure you know how to spot them, and the differences between them and true converts.
With regards to women, they are easily manipulated, because they're less logical and more emotional than men. They are not meant to lead. We are to lead them. If we lead them, and they accept our ways, they aren't a false convert. They will always try to err, but that is the nature of women, and to a slightly lesser extent humans as a whole. If women could never be trusted of their convictions, they'd never be able to enter Heaven, because all of their prostrations and repentance would be meaningless.
