Kindly STFU with this shite. Trump didn’t divide anyone or anything. The media and left did with their lies and antics. Where was all of this cry for unity under his presidency? I guess they were too busy trying to oust him.

We’ve spent the last four years being called every name in the book because of our political views and now we are supposed to unify with those accusers? I’ll pass

I refuse to unify with morons who want bigger government and have let mainstream media convince them to hate a man.

No one is attacking us. We live in the land of the free and I can practice my religious faith fully without any threat of attack. Have you ever lived in a country where religious persecution exists?

Paul tells us that God does give people up to "dishonorable passions", so I do agree that it's possible that this is occurring in modern America.

This post's assumption is that we can be cautiously optimistic that this is not the case.

Rod Dreher used the imagery from Revelation about fleeing to the Judean Hills in regards to our current cultural state - I think it's quite apt. Still holding out and will continue to be *cautiously* optimistic.

Check in if you're cautiously optimistic that Biden will recognize how perfectly set up he is (due to the Trump presidency) to be a moderate Democrat that the majority of Americans can rally behind.



You are incredibly naive and ignorant.

No you can’t. You can’t gather with more than 10 people in many places on this very day.

The good people lost. Our future is bleak and morale is very low.

Tough decisions will need to be made in the future.

and Trump, even though he had some Presidential successes, exacerbated the divide


Actually that would be the MSM and the never Trumpers.

It seems abundantly clear that our country is in need of significant unification (cultural, economic, educational, ideological)


So which side gives up their moral values/compass? That's why it won't mend. Each side now has totally different moral paths. The Right keeps giving in, and the Left keeps pushing the envelope. Ie....it's just people who love each other that want to get married. Which will/can never be truly equal in the natural sense. And now we are dealing with trans children being a "human right".

Hard to see the country fully uniting until one is completely taken out...which the left is definitely winning now.

Why???? The Dems have shown actual votes don’t matter and they will stop counting or add phantom votes as needed.

We should expect that mass voter fraud will lead to a super majority for the Dems after mid terms.

To think anything else is incredibly naive

Unity is not a goal in and of it self. You can be united for all the wrong things and the outcome much worse. Tension/division/squabbling..unless at war that’s our best bet. Delays “progress” which is a code word for deconstruction of western culture



Great point! My assumption is that we need to unify/rally around the founding principles of America. I'm cautiously optimistic that this will happen.

Why are you on me? I’m just quoting the OP, and asking him to elaborate. You are correct about the media though.

Optimistic that the GOP takes back the House and Senate? You mean the GOP of Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney, and the other assorted Quislings masking as principled conservatives?
