The middle ground is trust that Americans will do the right thing. Government should be reserved to manage the exception.

Trusting in man may be the problem. I think the Founders thought so too.

I guess we’ll just peacefully disagree then. I hope this country comes to a realization that we aren’t going to have a future as two polar opposites, and that we aren’t going to be able to eliminate one of those extremes and just keep the other either. I don’t care for the far left anymore than I do the far right. Neither is the way forward.

Yessir. This same conversation will be had in 20 years. Politicians gain by pitting right against left. We lose.

Yes, but the paths to those opposite poles have become radically different; so much so that I don't think they lie on the same continuum. The Left wants to bring down the entire edifice to get rid of one guy who embodies something they despise with utter contempt. Everything they've tried so far has failed. The clock is running out, so their last desperate move is to burn the house down, which is what we're seeing.

I honestly don't think they want what's best for America because Americans are the problem in their eyes. More to the point, they see us "credulous boomer rubes" (said with a condescending southern drawl) as their primary roadblock. They use the words "America" and "Americans" for rhetorical effect, but they do NOT talk amongst themselves in those terms at all - they're dirty words. Orange-man-bad simply represents the larger target of their disgust, and we are that larger target.

I will gladly define the "they" and the "we" if anyone is interested - it's not as broad of a brush as you might think.

Coexistence with another who seeks to destroy you isn’t practical. It’s like picking up a snake.

Well, I believe all that so strongly that I doubt anyone could ever change my mind. But, I think many liberals believe the SAME THING. They believe that we want to ruin the country, destroy the constitution, take over all branches of the gov't forevermore and are genuinely scared of the things that will happen when conservatives get elected just as we are scared of what will happen when liberals do. And they honestly believe that in their hearts.

An example... liberals really believe Trump is destroying the constitution, while we know it's actually the liberals that are. Both sides agree the constitution is important, but both sides are 100% convinced that it is the other side that is trying to destroy it.

So my question is... when a country is THAT far divided, when both sides view the other side as the AntiChrist, how is there ever any coming back from that?


What is this" we" crap? Both sides are being played. Both sides actually believe in most of the the same things. They just won't admit it. People want to believe it is us against them. 80 years of propaganda does wonders. People are not as divided as you think.

First...We have armed forces to deter and put-down aggressive actions towards us by those nations. This stands as a warning to the others with similar ideas.

Second..,Many play both sides. Those who refuse to stand against them or their minions capitulate.

All of the garbage going on now is just to put pressure on normal middle of the road people so that they vote for Biden in hopes that this stuff just stops. We will find out in a few years that the DNC had financial support from a few socialists in this country and from China to fund all the unrest and biased media coverage. This will not go away, every time the dems lose an election they will say they actually won and the protests (riots) will start . I expect this to be the new normal that people keep talking about.

And the same thing happens on the right. We know there was foreign meddling in 2016 election, heck POTUS welcomed it this time around on camera, I guarantee there will be calls of fraud illegitimacy etc from both sides no matter which way it goes this fall.

I think its safe to say that voters of Trump are trying to protect the American way of life as we know it and it's constitution. And I believe it's also safe to say voters of Biden are wanting a change of government. If this is true , we as a country are only in the beginning of a long battle

Yote your very question is based in incomplete assessment, which is based on your ideology which will produce an incorrect conclusion. The people on the "right" in Christian majority define those on the left as immoral and evil, based upon Biblical societal foundations which are correct. The people on the "left" in humanist moralism define those on the right in Darwinistic terms human and subhuman. Those on the left are human, and those on the right are subhuman.

Those on the right define evil and good as disciplines to living a life. Those on the left have abandoned those definitions which they choose not to live up to, for their own human judgments, of "everything is correct, and the only thing which is incorrect are those who place limits on actions".

The antichrist term is incorrect, because those on the right define those on the left as a threat to the foundations of society which have been proven by historical fact which produce stability, while those on the left excuse their actions by blaming those on the right, as the immediate threat to uncovering their failures at life. This is a death struggle, in those on the left are advocating the political and religious genocide of those on the right as it is a threat to their :"lifestyle" and those on the right are advocating the management of a societal cancer of liberalism within the country, thinking they can contain the plague of license.

I will use aborticide as an issue to explain this. Those on the right are against this as a life issue. Those on the left are for it, as a convenience issue to not have children after having sex. This has been "managed" in the world, with the result that Blacks were aborted in millions in the United States, and not having that work force, Mexicans, were brought in for labor. As Whites did not reproduce and aborted too, the Indian was brought in as a technician for technology work.
What are the results of this? An American demographic which is not Protestant, not having Protestant values, and the fact that Mexicans, Indians and Chinese do not purchase American goods, from milk so our dairy is imploding to outdoor pursuits, so the warrior race of Theodore Roosevelt in rugged individuals is becoming extinct, and so is their voting majority.

America is supposed to be a Republic Representative Government. It was converted in both world wars to a Social Democracy or Bribed Mob Rule. What took place under Barack Obama was the teaching and funding of operatives to use criminal riot to overthrow the status quo. The past 4 years have all been about undoing the 2016 election.

The basis of this is simple. When you have two competing ideologies, one which defines the left as evil and works to Evangelize it out of existence and one which openly is moving for the obliteration of Protestant guidance of society and replacing it with Latin and Chinese Marxists, there is already a war taking place since the 1960's funded by the 1% whose focus is protecting their assets. There is not any pulling back from this, as this was designed to produce this upheaval. Why moral issues were inserted to become politically legal.
History answers your question Yote. Assyria, Babylon, Samaria, Judah, Egypt, Rome. Whenever a ruling group so disenfranchises and then criminalizes the moral fabric which lawful groups follow, in favor of their being above the law, societal degradation begins. Affluence brings in foreign labor and foreign capital, and those that uphold order, begin withdrawing by being made criminals for their beliefs as the police state expands. Police states require more taxes and produce record debt, and debauchery is what is the aphrodisiac to bribe the mob.
Two events are only produced from this. One is Civil War. One is Foreign invasion. History predicts there is war coming to settle the issue. The left will not fight the war in seeking to embrace the enemy and the right will not fight as they will not defend the liberalism which is destroying them.

The Bible has a verse in the Prudent keep silent in times like these, so where do we go from here? You pay your taxes, obey the laws, you do not make yourself a target of the police state, and you prepare for the worst that history says will repeat itself in coming. That defines most of the people on this site in having skills to survive and remaining peaceful citizens.

Its no longer about the democrats donkey and the republican elephant. Now we have the trojan horse that has grown and grown.
We have done like King Solomon and brought in too many strange partners thinking we were gaining power and wealth, but instead have been dissolved from within and are now bleeding out.

That's liberal drivel and you know it. Your just defending it because it's "your side".

We haven't had a president stand up for Americans and our values in our lifetime more than Trump has.
