I just go into heavy ignore mode when I hear these words. They simply enjoy drumming up problems that don't really exist.

I think it's too late to heal. We are so divided, politically, socially and culturaly now that we can never return to the unity that this country once had. Wokism is another thing that is dividing our country. Might as well call it quits and divide and then everyone will be happy again.

I do hear that sentiment, quite often, from the right.

A complete lack of desire to save the country from division that will cause us to be attacked and taken over by China or Russia or whoever.

All for one and one for all is the ONLY way we'll all survive, and only just over half of us want to make that happen. The others would rather the baby be cut in half.

There is no healing while the culture war still rages. Ask again later about how we put it all behind us after it's over but using history as a guide you might not like the answer.

I'll remember that the next time I see a "This Store is Christian Friendly" sign in a store window.

Oh, wait. Stores are only friendly to nonwhite, LGBTQ consumers. Those darn right wingers!!!! Why are they segregating their customers again!!! When will they become tolerant of all people?
