    I’m not American. But I do wish the United States would be more united again.

    Feels like a one-step forward, three-steps back sort of deal for a while now. Not what you want seeing happen to friends

      How can anyone unite with these fucksticks who want to turn America into a christofascist country.

      The inherent problem is this:

      Republicans in power:
      “We’re the majority! Elections have consequences! You have to do it OUR way or YOU aren’t being ‘bipartisan’!”

      Republicans not in power:
      “We’re the minority! You have to do it OUR way or YOU aren’t being ‘bipartisan’!”

      Democrats:
      “We COULD call them out on their bullshit, but that would be ‘uncivil’. When they go low, we go high…” And get their asses kicked from below.
