Honest question for anyone who wants to give a reasonable answer. What's the best course for this country now? Continuing on the divided path, kicking and screaming because things didn't go our way? I understand a large segment of the population has used that approach for the last several years. Is that going to be the justification for everyone else to act the same way?
See, based on some of the things I've posted here most people would not believe that I'm pretty conservative. I believe strongly in individual liberty and self determination. Im not fond of the idea that people from California, NY, Texas, WA or wherever get to elect people to decide what's best for me. But that's the boat we're in. Some people are ready to scuttle the boat, but I'm not. I still believe that, regardless of flaws, this is the best country that's ever existed throughout the history of this planet.
I've had quite a few people who have seemed to advocated or at least entertained the thought of civil war. I've told every one of them how idiotic that is. It's not hard to find countries who've been engaged or are still engaged in civil war in recent times. Maybe not as "first world" as we are, but still pretty decently developed. Check and see what becomes of infrastructure in those countries in a very short time. Medical services-done. Clean water-done. Power grid-done. Don't need anything of that? Good for you. A lot of people do and I'm not willing to write them off just because the election didn't go my way.
Making threats, yelling and accusing aren't solving problems. Niether are name calling and trying to intimidate people who disagree. Republicans will never win another presidential election unless they distance themselves from this behavior. So, tell me. How do we really make it better?
