#20 TH: on the one hand i can very much relate to your disdain for all the working class morons who voted for Trump over and over again. As if they deserve now every bad thing that is happening to them and their communities. On the other hand, I think we all know that if this country is once again to become whole and move forward there must be some meaningful level of reconciliation after these past ten years of the greatest national polarization sine the Civil War. It cannot come from the top down. It must come from us, We The People, in our attempts to lay the disdain aside. Tall order but I think that becomes our duty if we truly are patriotic Americans.

You seem to be under the impression that there is a solution to this problem.
There isn't
There are 2 types of people in this country-the sane and the insane
The insane cannot become sane and the sane cannot become insane
Half the population is morally bankrupt. They do not have nor understand the most basic concept of ethics or morality.
Either they are stupid or evil, but there is no changing that, there is no reconciliation
They believe you are less human than them. They believe they have a god given right to rule over you.
That cannot be changed
And certainly not while the conservative regressive revolution is underway.
They have destroyed the connective tissue that held our country together. They are the ones perverting the mystic chords of memory Lincoln talked about
Teach them morals first, then we can talk
we as a nation must do better by rising above our hatred and disdain for pretty much all MAGA has come to stand for
And what of MAGA?
They're happy to revel in their hate and disdain.
They're okay with suffering. As long as those they hate and disdain suffer more.
I'm not suggesting we line them up on stage and televise shooting them.
But I don't see there being a Kumbaya moment.
