Ok. I will stop.
Biden is doing a good job. Love the direction the country is going in. So glad he is president.
There are issues but on balance, I am happy.

Exactly. LISTEN TO MY ADVICE. I'm not trying to convert you to conservatism. I'm not even trying to convince you that you're wrong about anything. I'm ONLY trying to get you to start participating in the process required of people living in a country which governs itself. You gotta talk to each other. That's what's not happening, and that's why we're so divided.

If you considered what I wrote, instead of just looking for keywords to react to, you'd recognize that I'm trying to PREVENT more political violence. I'm not threatening anyone.

Time will tell, but I’d wager you won’t stop, same as the news and many of his haters will never stop.

Gotta admit, I love watching that demented old man stutter, forget, fall up stairs, etc…, while he’s President.

I firmly believe that we should not negotiate with terrorists. I hope whoever is president stands by this.

Dear leader went on and on about it recently on Sean Hannity. These Killer Windmills are wreaking a destructive

LOL.

And you edited out 'the punch line' (see Dane's post #60 on this thread).

I unfortunately agree. I can not understand or accept as reasonable an overthrow of the government. We have a mechanism for change. Elect different people, amend the laws, enact state laws, let judicial precedent shape laws.
This is how it is done. Threats and violence are wrong.

Tell that to BLM. They are using threats and violence and it seems pretty effective.

No point. Some of them are extremely happy they can practice discriminatory tolerance based on political affiliations.

The aim must be moved from facile arguments over whether CRT teaches history differently and undermine it’s very foundation by exposing it for what it is. Mass manipulation using “social research” to instill an alienation (read: ressentiment). They’re winning because our new normal is exactly what they hoped and dreamed for. An alienation machine called social media. What could possibly be better to get people to be disenchanted with the system than watching the best moments of everyone else’s life that you don’t seem to be able to ever get to. Watching vacations, parties, weddings, etc. through manufactured scenes meant to make the event look as perfect as possible. Even better if it could all be done 24/7/365 with some sort of handheld device that’s directly linked to the propaganda.
