Hello NiftyNiblick,
It is our diversity which makes us great.
Racial, religious, cultural, ethnic, and similar forms of diversity are celebrated by many of us. Not all.
Ideological diversity is killing all of us, however.
No matter which party has more control of the government, roughly half the nation is sufficiently enraged to be on the precipice of violence.
Huge factions of our population have totally irreconcilable core values. Indeed, we find one another's values to be repugnant.
These factions are sincere in their views. To oversimplify just a little bit, Coastal values and Middle American values cannot both happily live under the same government.
All this "bring us together" bullshit is Pollyanna talk.
We hate each other.
We don't want to come together.
We each want our own way, that way being totally incompatible with the other way.
I see President Pigfucker's face and my fist instinctively balls. The same thing goes for every member iof the Republican leadership, and for every Trump supporter that I know. This is not the normal "loyal opposition" response.
This is incompatibility, pure and simple.
I know that your heart is in the right place, Talker.
Make your observations with your brain, not your heart.
You want something that will never happen.
Even if it did, do you think that half the population always despising the government, no matter which major faction is in power, is a good thing?
It isn't.
It sucks.
It keeps our government dysfunctional.
Somebody has to win a decisive victory, and the loser has to go away.
That being the case, I hope for my side to win by any means possible.
You should, too.
