Just a gentle request

We all are going through some very trying times these days. The toxic, malevolent person in the White House is causing untold stress and turmoil. He is systematically trying to eviscerate our democracy and our Constitution, but let's please not let him divide us. These are very trying times. Nerves are on edge, frustration is off the charts, but let's support each other.

Everyone here is here because we love and support our country. That is what DU is all about. It's what makes DU great.

Lately, I have noticed a bit of hostility towards some of our members. That is not who we are and not what we need. We are stronger together. All of us are struggling. Let's embrace and support each other.

Thanks for reading.

DU loves and supports the USA? Let me count the ways that is a bunch of BS

     Time to take a break from your . Maybe get a dose of reality from mal regarding DU-folks' "love" for the US.

Obviously the LPC Noob has not seen DU's purges of supporters of certain D Presidential candidates. I'm guessing discussion of LIEden's dropping out and Kammie being imposed on Dems engendered some "warm" discussion. Proggier-Than-Thou and Victimier-Than-Thou s and other one-upmanship is ordinary common fare on DU.

That may not be who you are, but it’s absolutely what elements of the left are.

Lots of noises on that thread, but it won't go much beyond that thread. There's too much Proggier-Than-Thou and Victimier-Than-Thou virtue-signaling to do.

is causing untold stress and turmoil

Self-created "untold stress and turmoil" because in reality it isn't happening. I never felt under "stress and turmoil" under the Clintoon and 0Bummer administrations. Biden's was only mildly stressful because of the horrid job he did during the Chinese Wuhan Red Death and the overreaction by goober-mint.

Just guessing here, was that lack of stress because you focused on having a productive life?

Increasingly, the word 'toxic', similar to racist' before it, when applied by leftists and dems to others, simply means 'person I do not like or do not agree with, who I wish to tar and feather rhetorically'.

It’s a dysphemism. They make it sound as if being exposed to certain viewpoints or language is actually hurting them.
