Bridging the divide

Is there any path towards uniting this country in any manner? It seems beyond repair.
Any ideas to change the trajectory of this nation? Is there a silver lining of hope? I know hope is a dangerous word.
What is priority #1?

Fire up the grill. I didn’t say plug it in….or turn the knob. Fire….up…..the….grill
Go fishing
Thank HuskyJW
You may have to fire a bunch of shitty people and hire new ones every once in a while but you can't expect democrats to behave.
Stop caving to big pharm and for that matter most major corporations. Stop covering for China.
That probably solves 80% of it.
Look, do you think @dflea and I agree politically? Um, no. But would that stop me drinking and fishing with him? Um, no. Hell I'd have a beer with @HHusky even though I think he is half retarded most of the time. Doesn't seem like a terrible human to me, just a snarky misguided lawyer. Whatever. The only person here I actually dislike is Bearswiin, because he seems like a smarmy fuck beta, but I know a couple folks here who have met him and swear he's a good dude. So fuck, I might even not throat punch him?
The point, and this is terrible to say in the Thunderdome, is to not take this stuff so seriously. I mean yeah, it's important, but actually wanting the other side to die is extreme. I get it, political tribalism is a big thing now, but the intense antagonism is over the top. All this excludes Antifa and the Aryan Nation - both sides have fringe lunatic groups whose sole aim is to hurt people to advance their kooky agenda. Fuck those guys. We can napalm all of them.
edit: We all know none of this is going to happen. The modern media is in business to inflame passions then step back and act aghast when mobs beat people and shit burns. Gets clicks.
Neville Chamberlin and much of the world historically ignored the "differences of opinion". Many of our own country's leadership ignored Germany. Rats aren't nazi's, but ignoring what they would do if they had carte blanche is the absolutely wrong thing to do. They have literally told us what they would do and in many cases they have acted on it. Not only have they acted on it they have lied to the American people about their actions.
When one side would gladly take away your rights you don't ignore that. They literally are trying to force everyone who is white into re-education classes so that we can all learn how racist we are. They are teaching our children that this country isn't a great country because of things that happened centuries ago. They have illegally opened the border and are shipping illegal aliens all around the country so that elections will always go the rats way. They literally want to defund the police and use liberals as their "policing" force.
As long as this shit is going on and is being supported by people I know, there is no real friendship and we should never ever get along politically. I can get along socially with anyone and I never bring up politics unless brought up first by a rat, then it is game on.
Fuck you
Get to know all your neighbors, know everyone on the block, invite over for dinner etc, nobody hates nearly as much in person. Everyone makes sense in their own mind and context, understand everyone who will spend the time to explain.
Join hobby groups in your community, keep building a network of likeminded people.
Unity through completely agreeing with the left. Might shut them up
Plenty of time for division if the GOP ever wins again
True story: a SJW I knew from Suckattle just lost it when I posted this meme right after Trump won
Suddenly I was a dinosaur, a sociopath, and some other things. If you're offended by that, you're a soft fag. End of story. He went on about how those are his people (fat fugly feminazis I guess). I dealt with another one for years. I'm sure most on here have similar stories. Or there are the annoying ones at work, or your wife's friends, or whatever.
Find one that is not in power, meaning abandon the Democratic and Republican Party. Get them out of power. The media collapse will follow amid the confusion.
That would be a good start. Should have been a lawyer joke in there because the previous statement is the punchline.
My best friend is a union loving, Biden voter, liberal SOB that hates Trump and everything he stands for - when I am feeling kind of feisty it is very easy to push his buttons. Kind of fun
Punish the shit out of anyone that shits on core American values that used to be what we ALL agreed on. Shout out to Joe Manchin, I'd vote for that kind of adult in the room.
You do that by having beers and organizing with people in your community. By becoming politically active even if it's ugly. By starting local and starting small. It has to start with people that inherently will buy in though.
If you buy a store and need to charge people to come and take your products so you can cover the cost of running the store, you made a bad investment. Full stop.
