[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as soon as you and other Dems apologize to people like me who enthusiastically supported Trump (volunteered for him) for calling us Nazis, garbage and other choice words, we can talk about moving forward.

But keep in mind: the mandate is clear. Trump won the popular vote. "Unity" will not be defined as consensus governing to accommodate radical Dem policies.[/quote]

Another Trump voter here. I don’t need any apologies. I just want our country to begin to mend.[/quote]

Why TF would anyone [i]apologize[/i] to Trump voters?

Such a gaslighting abuser comment.

Serious question. Why are you on this thread since you clearly have no interest in moving forward as one nation as the OP proposes? There are 7,999,543 other threads where you can spew your hatred about Trump and those who voted for him.[/quote]

How exactly do you or the OP propose we all "come together"? The two sides have such fundamentally different views, what do you think we should compromise on exactly? Please give specfic examples of how to do this. [/quote]

It’s really not that complicated.

Step 1. Stop spewing hatred.

Step 2. If you know someone who voted for a different presidential candidate, sit down with them and actually try to understand why they voted the way they did. If you can’t agree, agree to disagree and acknowledge the other’s right to their opinion. Do not spew hatred in the process.

Step 3. Purposefully meet people who have different opinions than you  and engage in step 2.

Step 4. Get your news from a wide range of sources and perspectives.  Then engage in Steps 2 and 3.

Step 5. If you’re unwilling to engage in steps 1-4, seek help.

Step 6. Contemplate what you’ve learned by engaging in steps 1-5 and find some common ground.

Aa new Trump voter I am able to do the above with my friends who voted for Harris and guess what: we are still friends and respect each other.[/quote]
Absolutely not. Besides, as a Black woman, anybody who expressed support for Trump was always against me and never a friend. How could they. [/quote]

Fine but then don't complain about the country being divided. [/quote]
Let’s be real, when has this country ever been United. Never. It’s always been a them versus us. [/quote]

It was not like this 20-40 years ago.

Yea it was. Forty years ago Ronald Reagan was despised by democrats. Now, in comparison to Trump, he would be considered well liked by the same crowd who once despised him. Reagan ushered in Iran-contra, cocaine to inner-city poor neighborhoods, all while ignoring the AIDS epidemic. Thirty years ago we had the right calling Hillary Clinton a murderer, white water, Ken Starr, Paula Jones, Lewinsky, and Clinton impeachments. The politics has worsened. And then in 2000, we had the SCOTUS choosing for the first time in American history to pick the POTUS only to be followed by a 20-year war with the wrong adversaries. Donald Trump came into political prominence in 2012 based on hate and racism with his birtherism, giving many people permission to come out of the closet and take off their sheets and walk boldly in their hate. Yeah it’s never been truly united.  [/quote]

I still can't for the life of me think how people thought a man born to a white Kansas woman would have ever not been a citizen who could run for president. That's kind of what started my hate for Trump. How he could just brainwash people with nonsense that was so easily refuted to not be possible. How was that even something thar people were debating?[/quote]
