Will The Democrats Ever Allow The Country To Heal?
Issues & Insights ^ | 12 Nov, 2024 | I & I Editorial Board

It’s hard to know just how much of the country hates Donald Trump. The easy answer is about half. But that’s probably wrong. Much less than half of the country voted against him last week and it would be a mistake to think that every one of those Americans hates the man. Surely a significant portion of Harris-Walz voters made their decisions simply because they either like Democratic policies or oppose the Republican agenda. If so, it would seem that Trump has an opportunity to unify a bitterly divided nation.

Still, there’s an angry, petty and vocal faction on the left that has no interest in unity because it thrives on acidity and hatred.

Social media and cable television provide a window into these dark minds infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome. In the days after the election it’s been filled with academics and assorted university creatures raging like mental patients who should institutionalized; huffy celebrities threatening to leave the country; a Pravda press that has had nothing to contribute to civil discourse so instead spreads fresh lies and continues to condescend toward middle America; Never-Trumpers who’d rather the country become California than ever cast a vote for, or say a kind word about, the man; everyday Karens, whose steady stream of bile and instability has produced anxiety in their children; and a holier-than-everyone Barack Obama who up until recent weeks had been largely successful at hiding the fact that he’s a bitter man.

These people don’t seem to be ready to give up their animus. They still seek the social status they believe that hating Trump will give them. It’s their belief that whoever convinces their peers that they hate Trump the most is the winner.

Trump has plenty of reasons to make no effort to bring the country together. His opponents have hounded him like no other political figure in our history. He’s been the subject of dozens of vicious fabrications, a scandalous hoax, a pair of meritless impeachments, a duplicitous lawfare campaign, an unbroken string of slurs and two assassination attempts that were inspired by an endless stream of lies and venom.

But he is president of the United States, all 50 of them, even California. He’s expressed a love of country, and among the many things he could do for it as president, few if any would be better than bringing together this nation.

Should Trump work hard enough, he’ll win converts, many of whom won’t change their political ideology but will at least recognize that he, the members of his party and his supporters are human, and can be treated with respect – that we are all Americans who can disagree without losing our minds. That would be a great improvement over the strife and division we’ve had since Barack Obama turned Americans against each other.

No. Leftists can only exist in an environment of discord. They would rather fall on their own sword than let society be unified.

The marxists use division and strife as a tool. They don’t want the country to heal.


Is division a bad thing?

Jesus came to unite. Jesus came to divide. How is that possible? The point of division and unification is the same. What is that point in regard to Jesus?

Trump has followed that model, one point. MAGA.

Let the division and unification continue.

Turmoil and heartache is all the RATs know besides lying and cheating. There is no reforming them.

I would prefer to see the demise of the Democratic party. A new party can form. Perhaps a spinoff of the Republican party. Perhaps something else. The Whigs are no more. We can do without the Democrats.

Not if they can help it, so we need to go ahead and move on with it without them.

Anti-something, is always as bad, if not worse, than the “something”.
