It depends on if the diversity comes first in those people’s lives.
I grew up in NYC in a time when various ethnic groups were just starting to leave their cliques and hang around with others.
Irish, Italian, Jewish, Polish, even some kids with spanish backgrounds started to hang in a group.
All of us were/are Americans but with diverse recent ancestry.
We all loved our country and we were all solid friends soon enough.
PUSHING diversity instead of letting diverse groups naturally get friendly and then close is ridiculous.
No one FORCED US to hang together.
Nothing wrong with people with diverse backgrounds working and/or playing together.
But their core beliefs and purposes must be the same.
Dems don’t want that...or they want it to be their believes and purposes.
Which are always nefarious.

Our strength is our firepower, readiness, supply chain, trained and capable personnel, and willingness to use it all to defend our country.

“their core beliefs and purposes must be the same.”
And therein lies the aforementioned unity.

What unites people is shared values.

I agree wholeheartedly with your statement.
Also, what kinda 20th century website requires me to know HTML in order to compose this response. It's so stupid.
I think I need to try to buyout the owners cause they are totally neglecting this resource of the conservative movement by letting it waste away.

What shared values do the majority of people in America have?
What imparts those values to them?

I learned not to bother with HTMLs. I just use quotes to quote people. We shouldn’t have to type a bunch of crap to post pictures either. Should just be a tab saying “ post photo.”
A like button wouldn’t hurt either, along with an edit post option. Autocorrect is a bastard and I see it screw everybody over all the time
