Missed quite a bit of back and forth this weekend.

Exactly. Round up all the Capitol rioters and throw them in jail with the BLM rioters/looters. Preferably in the same cells.
This sub forum is an excellent illustration of the 2 party system's success at maintaining the us vs them mentality among the electorate.
Even nominating Trump as a candidate for the Republican party was a slap in the face to actual republican voters. They are supposed to be the party of law and order, family, and faith. None of which Trump subscribes to any further than lip-service. So, when it is said that "half the country supported Trump" that's probably less accurate than saying "half the country supported the Republican party." Those who would vote Red regardless of the name on the ballot. And obviously, the same can be said for Biden. Not all of those who voted for him are Biden supporters. I sure as hell am not, but I wanted the stain on the Flag from Trump to be as small as possible.
Our republic will thrive when the electorate realizes the "us vs them" should be all Americans vs the American gov't. They serve us, not the other way around. Things were turned backwards at some point.

Yep. But that's the case no matter what people are talking about. Politics, religion, finances, etc.
