Do you think people here in the US will ever be able to live in harmony with each other?

 Or are the republicans will always be going after us for any and all reasons?

1. No. Harmony is an illusion where opposition is weak.

We harmonized for WWII, but how much was hidden for National security? America is a collection of private interests, though we do commit to patriotism and principle. Or at least we did.

2. So you don't think the republicans will ever stop with their bullshit?

3. No, i don't think they ever have, but they do get out of power for periods of time.

Money and business and politics and power are what they are about. Period.

4. Too Many Stupid People

There are too many stupid people who are basically sheep and believe things like Faux News. They don’t understand how things like inflation, gas prices, social security and healthcare work. They’re uneducated and believe what they’re fed. I don’t think they can be fixed.

7. We know that Joe and the Dems are trying very hard to fix the problems, it is sad to think that what

our country is now, is what is always going to be because of the Republicans refusals to work with us.

9. No. Climate change is the game changer that has stopped the clock on our social evolution.

It's all downhill from here as we all scramble for resources & survival. The rich are buying bunkers & the wealthy are buying caves.

There was an interesting article a few months ago, written by a man who consults with rich people about how to prepare/survive the coming social disorder. When the rich guys (yes they were all men) asked the consultant how they can guarantee their security people don't steal from them or betray them in other ways, the consultant said, make them part of your group, your team, your family. Their response? They wanted to know if there is some kind of collar they could design that would monitor/shock their staff who would have to wear them.

It's the WITTs against the YOYOs. *

WITTs = We're In This Together

YOYOs = You're On Your Own

23. Maybe when enough people born before 1980 or so die off,

we'll reach critical mass of less insane, less religious, more diverse, more liberal people who want things like gun control and universal healthcare and full access to abortion and climate change measures and so on...

(Yes, I am one of those born before 1980. I know, I know, "not all older people are conservative..."

34. Nope. That bird has flown & is gone forever now.

Each side not only disagrees with its opposite side but believes both they and their intentions are evil. This is a bell that once rung can never be un-rung and really eclipses the Civil War national division over slavery or states' rights.
So in this battle if the Left becomes complacent and does not remain vigilant it does so at its own peril and that of democracy.
American partisan politics is binary so if the Left does not get out and vote for the nominees of the Democratic Party, it only helps the GOP. That's just our reality.

On a scale from "1" to "bursting at the seams with liquid shit", how loaded are those questions?

Progressive democrats won't allow that. Ever.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Excuse me? I think every person that pays their own bills and not reliant on government handouts knows exactly what these things are and how they work and are reminded every single day. :bird:

Given the way Progs turn on each other in Progessivier- and Victimier-Than Thou urination matches, Progs will never live in harmony.

Yes we will as soon as we finish loading you all on the busses  :-)
Life is tough and it’s even tougher when you’re stupid

Leftist scum can't even live in harmony amongst themselves. Every time they try to build one of their communist/socialist/marxist utopias, it rapidly devolves into yet another leftist-run shithole in short order.

There is NO CHANCE they can ever be expected to live amongst NORMAL PEOPLE without coming into conflict with them. Hence my personal belief that there will be no peace in America so long as the leftist cancer infects any segment of American society.

We can all live in harmony when we're all addicted to fentanyl and living in tents which seems to be the Dem plan moving forward. I can't wait.

Given DU-folks’ annual rituals of planning on screwing with family/friends’ 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter (and etc.) DU-grade Progs could not live in harmony with anybody, by their own choices.

Not as long as there are people who grow more powerful and richer from the division.  Not going to say all of those folks are liberal/democrat, but the vast majority of them fall in that box of the political spectrum. 
Romans 6:17-18 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.
