We constantly hear pleas from the leftwing media for president Trump to "unite the country".
But unite the country with who & what exactly?

I don't consider people who loot & riot to be my fellow countrymen. They're aliens to all who are decent, law-abiding folks. I don't consider America bashing antifa & anarchists to be my fellow countrymen either. I do NOT want Trump to unite with any of these people. People who fundamentally hate America cannot unite with me or any other patriotic person who loves America.

We cannot unite America with people who want to destroy the constitution, erase the second amendment, erode the 1st amendment by passing so called "hate speech" laws -- people who think it's ok for little children to have sex change operations -- people who think it's ok for America to have no borders, just let anyone from anywhere barge on in! -- people who think it's ok to loot & riot because a police officer did something wrong somewhere -- people who think it's ok for colleges to ban speakers because their political views & opinions don't align with most of the professors or students -- people who think there are 47 or more "genders" -- people who will only criticize a specific racial group (white men) for doing something, while completely ignoring the same behavior in other groups.

These are people that Trump should NOT unite with.
People who hold viewpoints that are so fundamentally un-American cannot possibly unite with me and most other Americans. We cannot unite ourselves with these people. We should do the exact opposite, we should distance ourselves from those toxic people and their toxic ideas & behavior. Good people cannot unite with bad people, law-abiding folks cannot unite with criminals.


We have higher standards.
If America is to be united, than all of those miscreants, degenerates, criminals, rioters, unprincipled, morally ambiguous freedom haters will need to CHANGE. They will need to change and meet our standards, if they wish to unite America.

Then move to some authoritarian nation. You don’t get to decide who your fellow countrymen are. Don’t like their views? Freedoms come with the freedom of choice and opinion.

Don’t preach higher standards when you say nothing of the most inept administration I’ve lived through.

Well said!!! "Unite the country" is one of those useless, PC platitudes that gets rolled out during times of crisis.

Time to start deporting some American citizens along with the illegals. I used to say that as a joke but I no longer feel that way. I feel like my entire time on this earth has been ruined by these people and I need them gone.

The Left says unite the country but what they really mean, is do only what we want.

Who decides? You? Why don’t you deport yourself? Every single other American citizen here has just as much rights to be here as you do.

Not when they violate the law which they do daily. And I decide.

Nothing else needs to be said. Trump should re-post this on his twitter.

It’s not going to happen. In fact, these type of scum are actually multiplying faster than productive citizens and your taxes are helping them. They get free healthcare, housing, food, education, childcare, etc. while you work your butt off only to have the Democrat governments in the blue states and cities take it from you (taxes) and re-distribute it back to them. From cradle to grave, everything paid for by you.

These people have been spoon fed by the liberals/progressives/Democrats all their lives to be dependent on handouts and freebies.

I've got nothing in common with people that are closed minded, over emotional , lack critical thinking , and judge me for not thinking the same as they do. So, sorry, no uniting will be happening. Coexisting, possibly, but that all depends on the leftists. You live your life, and don't interfere in mine.
