Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

How do we unite as a country?

    There's no need to unite over everything. We just need to accept the fact that most people aren't like us, and just deal with it. The liberals' war on conservatives and vice versa is the problem along with both sides' need to drag politics into every damn conversation. You can see it right here on HH when some Tug operatives insist on dragging their Tug politics all over the bored. Keeping your resentment in check is something both sides could use some work on - I know I could. No, seriously.

    actually the founders knew we won't agree. That's why they wanted strong independent states and a lean federal government

    The retro-frames are actually very much in style right now.

    But like always, the @ComeLatelys dont have a clue on the pulse of the people.

    Which is what you spent 2020 arguing against
    Technically, it was only a few days in 2020 that @AOGComeLately argued against that... sometime after Election Day along with the rest of the @ComeLatelys

    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.

    Among the fundamental problems is that the left has been rewarded for their use of the politics of division. They are not about to let up until those practices hurt them. Fixing number 1 on your list would no doubt help the situation.

    Biden is my QB. He may not be the player I’d pick, I may not like him but he’s it.

    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.

    "I respect the decision, no matter how we got here." That's the problem and why I don't respect the decision. I won't until we have honest and transparent elections with citizens voting and clean voter roles and an auditable process. Then I will respect the decision as long as the Constitution is respected. Bought and Paid for Slo Jo is crooked and has no respect for honest elections, free speech or the 2A.

    Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney agree. You're in good company.

    I’m not going to War with you. I’m not alone. Plan accordingly.

    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
