the country won't be "brought together" under joe biden. that will not happen in any foreseeable future. in fact, the present is the antithesis of everything america was founded on.

YOU are also not the arbiter of right and wrong.

Dehumanization is what happened to the Jews in Europe, to the intellectuals in Asia, to Christians in Armenia, and dozens upon dozens of other examples.

From the United Nations:

“The Holocaust did not start with the gas chambers and the Rwandan genocide did not start with the slayings. It started with the dehumanization of a specific group of persons.

Genocide is defined by the UN as a crime that is committed against members of a national, ethnic or religious group solely because they are members of that group. Genocide also entails there being intent to exterminate a particular group.”

Genocide is when “you are being killed not for what you have done, but for who you are,” Mr. Dieng explained.

THIS is what your words lead to, and instead of reflecting and admitting that perhaps you are overreacting, you are doubling and tripling down.

Extremely, extremely disturbing.

That's reason why those people stormed into the Capitol and had no problem saying this like "hang Pence" "Let's make Nancy Pelosi pay" and some had no problems beating Capitol Police.

In their minds democrats, Pence and any republican that does not serve Trump is the enemy. To them The enemy stole the election and they have no problem hurting those people because to them, they are not humans. They are "things" that want to ruin their lives


Wanna keep talking about humanizing people? How about going to their workplace destroying their belongings, spreading feces and urine all over the place. Do you think you would do that to another human? How about killing people? 5 people have already died because others thought lying to people about election results would keep them in power.
How are facts dehumanizing? The open border, socialistic Democrats are the enemy of this country. There was some evidence that the election was stolen. It's been posted over and over in here. That doesn't make them liars for pursuing it!

Those who stormed the Capital were among a small minority of Trump supporters but you and yours lump us all under the same umbrella. Isn't that dehumanizing? I have no use for those who got violent at the Capital, called for hanging Pense or any of their despicable acts that they committed and they should pay for what they did but they do not represent most Trump supporters as you are implying. I think it takes a lot of nerve to keep harping about the Capital building violence when so many leftists committed violence last year to and it wasn't just for one day either!

Oh, so now you're a mind reader? Where did even the violent ones say that no one on the left isn't human? Do you just make this stuff up as you go along? Gee, I wonder what lovely sentiments the left says about Trump supporters? I know, from what have read in this forum alone. Yes, the Democrat policies will ruin American lives though and that's just a fact!

Again, with the destruction? How about the destruction committed by the left last year and the lives that were lost? I bring it up because you and yours are so outraged about the Capital building incident but I never hear a peep out of any of you about last summer. I'm not a hypocrite like you and yours are I condemn them all on both sides that committed violent acts and they should all be held accountable for it. Another difference between me and the left is that I know and don't think that all lefties are of the violent BLM and ATIFA type.

Shocker! Trump kept talking about racehorse theory, bloodlines, and good genes.

These guys are like the dog that caught the car. The country saw first hand what they were trying to do and there's still more to find out - like if some of them really helped the rioters. Don't be fooled. As soon as they think their reputations are out of danger, they will go full blast again, even if it's ten minutes later. They will say outrageous things about Biden, Harris, blue states, Biden supporters, you name it. Don't buy this whole "bring the country together" charade from them.
Rich, ain't it?

You're the one causing the problems. Look at your crazed claims above.

Thank you.

It's RICH that Republicans are suddenly calling for civility.

Hey! You Lib**rds have to be NICE! You voted for a pedophile! Baby killers!

I've heard it all from Republicans.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind what the capitol crowd would have done had they actually found Pelosi.

Nancy and the Dems don't want to bring the country together. Those fools have been working for 4 solid years to overthrow a fair election and remove a legally elected president. They just could not accept, for 4 solid years, that these lifelong, self-serving political blowhards had been defeated by a businessman with no experience in politics. The hatred and rage that ignited is like something this country has never seen. From having articles of impeachment in hand the day he took office, to the Russian Collusion hoax, to the first impeachment hoax to cover for Traitor Joe's bribe of Ukraine, it had been a 3 year continuous attack. Then last year, they released the dogs-the domestic terror groups BLM and Pantifa, to try to terrorize the American people through a year of violence, arson, looting and destruction, and a year of vicious attacks on law enforcement officers. Every one of these actions on the part of the left, the Democratic party establishment, has served to infuriate most of the country-anyone with any sense of decency or justice. Think about it-their hatred of DJT had them embracing people that were committing terrorist attacks on American citizens!

Now, in the closing 6 days of Trump's presidency-they choose to pull this little stunt. Instead of finally working to unite this country-they continue to play idiotic little children's games, further dividing this country and fueling the flames even more.

And after all of this-one of their little moronic minions has decided to introduce a bill that is an attack on the civil rights of American citizens.
