Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
How do we unite as a country?
This may trigger guffaws given that it's coming from the owner/manager of Hardcore Husky and The Tug Tavern.
But seriously, I don't see any healthy discourse going on anywhere. I see few attempts to find solutions.
It takes both sides having some good faith and trust to make this happen.
But I certainly don't trust the Democrat party. The Democrats don't trust the conservatives or GOP.
It is clear that Biden is going to fan the flames and make relations worse and the country more divided.
But off the top of my head, I see three things that need to take place to prevent this nation spiraling into eventual civil war.
1. The mainstream media needs to rot away, and a new media rooted in integrity needs to come to the fore.
2. Decent, moderate liberals, aka "classic liberals", need to take back their party from Antifa/BLM/Marxists.
3. Conservatives need to keep their resentment in check, or in time they're going to become just like the people they hate/distrust
Right now I'm not confident in any of the three happening.

Bring back the Rockefeller Republicans
If all those were done then really the only arguments would be over dumb stuff like abortion and climate change which only like 5 percent of each side truly cares about
But when each party can say the other one is evil on those issues it is divisive.
Its really the government's failure and inaction that has caused this.
Goldwater rejected the legacy of the New Deal and, along with the conservative coalition, fought against the New Deal coalition. A member of the NAACP and active supporter of desegregation in Phoenix,[3][4] Goldwater voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, believing it to be an overreach by the federal government—a decision that considerably anguished him.[3] In 1964, Goldwater mobilized a large conservative constituency to win the hard-fought Republican presidential primaries. Although raised as an Episcopalian,[5] Goldwater was the first candidate of ethnically Jewish heritage to be nominated for President by a major American party (his father was Jewish).[6][7] Goldwater's platform ultimately failed to gain the support of the electorate[8] and he lost the 1964 presidential election to incumbent Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson by one of the largest margins in history. Goldwater returned to the Senate in 1969 and specialized in defense and foreign policy. As an elder statesman of the party, Goldwater successfully urged President Richard Nixon to resign in 1974 when evidence of a cover-up in the Watergate scandal became overwhelming and impeachment was imminent.
Goldwater's views grew increasingly libertarian as he neared the end of his career. After leaving the Senate, Goldwater's views cemented as libertarian. He criticized the "moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others [in the Republican Party] who are trying to... make a religious organization out of it." He lobbied for homosexuals to be able to serve openly in the military,[9][10] opposed the Clinton administration's plan for health care reform,[citation needed] supported abortion rights,[11][12] and the legalization of medicinal marijuana.[13]
In review his views on the power of the government over private business were far more nuanced but woefully wrong for 1964 when we? were once again getting serious about race and equality. But ultimately he was right.
And in your heart you knew that. If you can trust the people to be better then you don't have to force them
The left today believes in the ability of private enterprise to discriminate based on thought. Goldwater Republicans
But like always, the @ComeLatelys dont have a clue on the pulse of the people.
I respect the decision, no matter how we got here.
The election was Cooked? OK sure.gif. There was a process to un- cook- it. It went all the way to Congress and Trump lost again 450-50 or something.
Biden is my President. There is no resistance from me. I’ll suck it up buttercup and do as I’m told.
But, please, Stop with the demands I have to embrace TY as the Savior for Husky football.
And unless you are a Constitutional Scholar, Fuck Off.
Process was followed and Biden won. Don’t like it? Enter the fucking game. Volunteer to be an election official
