Peace between Democrats and Republicans, is that possible?

[Mac-7]

sometime last century.....

I think up until the Vietnam War

And even shortly after the war as long as the WWII generation was in office

I think the US is divided like hardly ever before.
two camps seem to really hate each other.

I hope there could also be some understanding between the front lines?

Could it?

This guy thinks there is a path forward.

The Grace That Gives Us Hope​

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/opinion/hope-grace-michigan-shooting.html

The piece refers to a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints setting up a fundraising site for the family of the man who killed members of the church and burned it down. It spoke of Kirk's wife forgiving the man who shot him.

The author, David French, is a man of faith. He finishes his piece this way......

America has witnessed two remarkable acts of forgiveness in the last month. Erika Kirk forgave the man who killed her husband. Latter-day Saints loved the family of the man who massacred their brothers and sisters. A nation that produces such acts of such love is a nation that still has life. It’s a nation that still has hope.

On Tuesday, Kelsey Piper, a staff writer at The Argument, responded to the Latter-day Saints church’s act of love with a beautiful and true statement. “If America is going to make it,” Piper wrote, “it will be because people choose forgiving things they should never have had to forgive over hurting people they have every right to be angry with.”

That is the essence of grace. Last Sunday, the shadow came for the men, women and children of a church in Michigan. But there is still light and high beauty, and last week the light that flooded America came from people of faith who were determined to demonstrate the character of the Savior they love.

It's a lovely thought. I don't think it's realistic until the cause of so much hatred, trump, is off the stage.

 

[Mac-7]

Lol. Why lie all the time? Are you a Zionist?

I’m not part of the duopoly you ignorantly support.

Fence jockeys are part of the problem also

 

[gipper]

Fence jockeys are part of the problem also

Yeah that ignorance is fully expected of you. Only fools like you think the two gangs are different and oppose each other, and we all must pick a side. Lol.

Plus you’re a traitor to your country. You support a foreign nation controlling yours.

Really bad combo for an old man.

As a true fence jockey you think we should just flip a coin on every issue

Or IAW, one policy is as good as another

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Not yet.

 

[Edgetho]

If the GOP stops supporting the policies that allowed them to win the election it allows the older Dems who are not America First to try and gain ground. More than likely the future is through AOC except the old guard defend their turf as the CCP do, it is going to be interesting if Trump loses his way. What GOP will 2028 bring?

**** the dimocrap scum party and **** **** **** dimocrap scum.

ALL of them.

They MUST be destroyed. They are an infestation, a disease, a plague.

Woah now, put the beer down and step away from the edge.

America needs to win and succeed. ALL of America, not half.

Convince all Americans to be patriotic through words and actions.

Not as long as half is crazy, authoritarian and violent.

Riddle me this. Which side is pushing immoral crap in our society?

Which side is attacking others for speaking their beliefs or god forbid wearing a MAGA hat?

There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between us and we are DONE WITH THIS TRY TO GET ALONG WITH THESE MANIACS.

Return power to the States and we will let the maniacs destroy themselves in states like CALI. Leave us out of it.

 

[Correll]

Yep.

But the voices on the ends have to change, and the leadership on both ends needs to change. And the system -- which incentivizes and rewards the worst impulses of its participants -- has to change.

So while I'm not holding my breath, it's possible.

Actually just the left.

why so many times the F.word?

Some people find that vulgar language releases tension.

I used to be one of them.

If I like the poster, I ignore the vulgarity.

AI sez --

General George S. Patton used vulgarity as a tool to emphasize the grim realities of war, connect with common soldiers, and achieve memorable, impactful communication, often using it in his "war face" to show seriousness and dedication. While some viewed it as unprofessional, many considered his speeches, which were liberally sprinkled with profanity, to be highly motivational and effective.
Key aspects of Patton's use of vulgarity:

• To emphasize importance: Patton believed that to make a point "stick," he had to deliver it "loud and dirty".
• To connect with soldiers:His use of profanity was a deliberate way to speak the language of the common soldier, fostering a sense of camaraderie and understanding.
• To convey seriousness:His "war face" was an acknowledgment of the life-or-death stakes of battle, and profanity often accompanied this serious demeanor to underscore his dedication to the mission.
• As a strategic tool:Words were seen as tools, and Patton strategically chose profanity to get the desired "wallop" when needed, demonstrating a calculated approach to communication rather than simple crudeness.

Riddle me this. Which side is pushing immoral crap in our society?

Taking medical care away from the least fortunate among us is moral? Sending immigrants to be tortured in a foreign jail without due process is moral? Forcing women to carry an unwanted fetus to term against their will is moral?

 

[berg80]

Which side is attacking others for speaking their beliefs

Ever hear of Jimmy Kimmel, Harvard University, or the NYT?

 

[sartre play]

We all should agree we Americans are not working together,
towards any solutions that work for the majority of ALL the population
