Looks like there is a new organization in America, and Douglas MacGregor is a CEO of it.

( Why am I not surprised that he is the one taking action in today's America?)

It sounds a lot like MAGA. Which isn't a bad thing.

He's always great to listen to, from what I've seen of him. It's always so weird how surprising and refreshing it is to be addressed by someone who isn't constantly berating us. And I do wish we all were more united. Things, and people, are getting so ramped up now. Everyone's feeling the tension. His message was very uplifting and hopeful. I'll check out his organization.

Thank you, erasure, for posting this. I needed it.

I think what makes difference here, is his background, that he is coming from military, and not business, not political circles. While the last two might bring a lot of controversies, a man coming from military background - it's pretty much "clean cut" of what he stands for, and what he wants to achieve.

You are welcome,

I thought it was newsworthy.

He started out talking about uniting us, our common values, and then he makes it clear he's talking about the less than half on the right.

I don't see Our Country Our Choice as a uniting force, at all.

What exactly is so "dividing" about his speech?

Maybe it happens before most people have turned on the sound. His organization is dedicated to "upholding traditional, conservative values".

He's not going for unity, he's seeking to gather those on the right, in yet another format.

He makes it completely clear when he talks about the mainstream media being unreliable, and jumps in with both feet in his mentioning of The Deep State.

This isn't an attempt to find a level of truths that we all can agree on, or the vast majority, this is yet again another attempt to "unite the right".
