...the ticker-tape parade, the cheers and the celebrations....
...the nation will be at least as divided as it is now.
1. Make no mistake: the seating of Justice Kavanaugh is a huuuuuugggggge win for constitutionalists, the real Americans, but the Left will not roll over and accept.
2. "...President Obama had a chance to be a unifying leader as our nation’s first black president. Unfortunately, he often chose the way of identity politics, thereby enflaming a spirit of division in our midst.President Trump, by appealing to the dissatisfied state of many Americans, has rallied tens of millions. But in so doing, he has poured salt in our festering wounds, deepening rather than bridging those divides.
3. Never in our lifetimes has America been so divided, and we are in danger of tearing ourselves at the seams. What’s more, it looks like things will only get worse – much worse – in the days ahead.
4. An article on the Study Finds website states that, “It may not be so hard to believe during this murky political landscape, but a new study finds the divide between Democrats and Republicans is the worst it’s ever been, more so than many people may even think.
5. “The research, conducted by Zachary Neal, an associate professor of psychology and global urban studies at Michigan State University, is among the first to measure polarization not only by examining the frequency of parties working together, but also by demonstrating how they’ve grown more distant than any other time in modern history.”
6. With the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh, followed by the midterm elections, that polarization will only increase in the days ahead. That, in turn, will lead to the stiffening of each opposition position, as the left attacks the right and the right attacks the left, confirming each side’s worst suspicions about the other: “You are even worse than I thought you were!”
7. The pro-life movement will be freshly energized with another conservative jurist on the Supreme Court and with a pro-life president at the helm. The pro-abortion movement will be freshly energized as well – not to mention utterly outraged – launching an all-out assault on conservatives and pro-lifers. And this is just one aspect of today’s massive cultural and political divide."

8. The author of the above believes that bridges can be built, agreements reached.
Not I.
9. As long as schools are for indoctrination, rather than learning, and as long as the media remains as duplicitous and in the iron grasp of Leftists, there can be no mending.
10. As for me.....
.... I'm willing to compromise...as long as everything is exactly the way I want it to be.
