I think the word you were looking for is "deplorable".
Well no, half.
No, the whole world. Just his racist idiot death cult will miss him here at home.
My 2 cents. I hope it is a time for healing a bringing the country together. I am not so naive to think there won't be disagreements on policy and direction. What I do hope for is this, that the political witch hunts we have experienced for at least the last 4 years kind of goes on Mute. That those in Congress see that people are of a more moderate lean and they get their act together. That the Big Shows of emails and illegal activity that many people says occur would be investigated by not politicians but by those on the law enforcement side of the government. I don't want politics to play a role as it does in the current administration, but let Law Enforcement do what it is suppose to do. As for what happens to President Trump and the things he is being investigated for, let those Prosecutors do what they are doing, their jobs, even if we think it is political til a court decides the case. If Biden Hunter has done something illegal, which to this point haven't seen the emails, let Law Enforcement and Prosecutors handle it. I have no confidence in either the Senate or the House performing the task without it being a s**t show. Entertaining Yes, Productive No. For those that want to see the Clinton emails, waited 4 years and still haven't seen them.
Okay this is a test of our democracy right here in sowal.com. If we want a Better America it will start with having positive leadership and that positive uniting leadership will trickle down to each of us. It has been a long 4 years of democrats and republicans attacking each other so I get it but at some point we all have to see a bigger picture. As hard as it is to admit there are over 70 million Americans who believe the same thing that was in the snoopy quote. These people are not evil, not stupid and not your enemy. They simply see things differently. Yes maybe they ignore or dismiss the negative part of Trump that the other half of us do not. So first we have to get over ourselves a little. Admit that we are not always right. Stop reacting to a prickly comment meant to get under our skin. There are some people like minorities, marginalized groups and women who get a break on the civility to some extent but if you are male and white by definition we have had more privileges than most other groups so it has to start with us using our "clean around our own back door before attacking another". I say lets stop watching the 24 hour news channels and living life again which include spending more time with family, friends and community. Think of our white male privileged selves as a role model for civil behavior. I am not saying to let people walk over us but rather walk with us toward a Better America. If other people choose not to walk with us toward a Better America then that will be their stress and unhappiness. A lot of us are happy with the election and a lot of people are not happy so it will be a slow process of finding our better selves but I know we all have the potential. It will be a challenge no doubt but we need each other to defeat real enemies like this pandemic.
Partisan politics will not go away unless we the people unite together and demand a more efficient and productive government. Again, we the people will have to be more united if we want a better political system. The bad players in our system need to be fired. That is Democracy! Extremism is not efficient or productive because of human nature. We can dream of our perfect world but live in the reality of an imperfect world where we have to make compromises with perfection. I think we can find common ground from which to make necessary compromises to move forward. As for as congress goes their job is to represent us both economically and socially. Equality is the goal in that representation. What we have at the moment is a congress who is fighting for control of power instead of fighting for us. Their words are unimportant and their actions will have consequences. We the people are the consequence so we can not afford to be this divided. Lets find common ground. It is usually in the middle. If the two political parties continue to be partisan then they are not representing us. If this behavior continues in our legislative branch then we will need to form a Centrist Party. This will not happen in my life time but I believe it is time to start having that conversation. A real 3rd political party will get the attention of democrats and republicans! The Lincoln Project might be going in that direction.
