Healing the nation will most likely come from the GOP. This gave me hope.

Posting in a thread about reconcilliation and doing the right thing, cannot make it up.
really? The differences between the parties is so small.
Taxes - we're talking a few hundred to a few thousand dollars either way for the vast majority of Americans.
Abortion - most people don't care
Guns - nobody wants to take them. A few more laws one way or the other.
Healthcare - if you don't call it Obamacare, most republicans actually like it
Immigration - everyone wants immigration reform but neither side has any incentive to actually reform immigration
The fault is in the primary system. To win the extremes, you need to be extreme. The House, in particular, is an extremist sh!t show. Fix that, whether through ranked voting or some other way, and things will mellow out.
Not when you have enough idiots glorifying trolling the other team and voting accordingly.
but that's what I'm saying. Politicians will pander to the extremes only when it makes sense. Change the winner take all system at the primary and the extreme voters are less important.
Elections have consequences, and in this case the govt is unified again under one party. Regardless of what the leadership might want to do the weakened opposition is unable to serve as a brake on the dominant party's tendencies. Not because it's the Dems who have assembled control but because that's just what happens when either party runs the table. They have historically run to excess which is what has previously led to their subsequent losses.
All the action is in the middle, so unless the Dems can take up all the oxygen in that middle they will be leaving the door open for the opposition to fill that vacuum. And since much of the disconnect is social in nature, it's those activists that the Dems would have to suppress the most in order to retain that space. Which that seems highly unlikely.
If this cycle doesn't play out this way I think it will be the first time for that in modern political history.

What you are saying would hold more water if the GOP hadn't gone full retard X a zillion.
How many once very common and innocuous gender descriptions are now consider inconsiderate hate speech by some and growing on the left?
I already posted this but it was totally ignored.
mother, father, son, daughter, husband, wife and most other gender specific terms are considered too judgmental now.
WTF is wrong with these people?
And that's only a small, but growing sample of common, literal, non-offensive speech that has been deemed hateful and should be banished from "official" usage. Or doxxing and shaming will ensue.
Even the Dems in Congress are striking them out from ALL future documents.
Some Dems want to get rid of Fox News, as it's deemed too conservative and supportive of Trump.
What's that, if not trying to censor speech and press?
A-Woman already.

I interact with some pretty woke people all the time. We get to choose our pronouns and don’t are supportive of whatever gender identity anyone needs supported, but I’ve never heard anyone categorize those words you mentioned as hate speech
Where are you hanging out where that’s an issue?
You still don’t understand free speechHow many once very common and innocuous gender descriptions are now consider inconsiderate hate speech by some and growing on the left?

ALL big tech is preventing Parler from being viewed. It's being cancelled, literally.
Watch the first 19 minutes to get an idea of what's happening that very few others are reporting.....
Ya, it's Tucker, but it pretty damn hard to claim his reporting on this as false or fake news.
Watch it soon, before YouTube scrubs it like was just done on FB (supposedly).

If Congress didn't make a law against Parler, I don't see how freedom of speech is under attack. YMMV.
Also, what is stopping you from grabbing yourself by your bootstraps, pulling yourself up, getting some servers, and hosting Parler?
Pure laziness, ineptitude, and vag leakage!
It amazes me how people think forcing a private company to broadcast the Govt line against the Tos of said company is Anti Authoritarianism? Words have no meaning to Trumptards. Also now they want to break up the tech giants, which is what the left has been arguing for all along.
