Will we ever be one country again?

[Ray From Cleveland]

How does one compromise with people who are smashing windows, lighting cars on fire, stopping traffic and attacking other people because of their politics? Where is the compromise, only assault half the people you wanted??????

You know quite well, I'm writing about political compromise among political leaders in Washington not rioters in the streets. That diversion won't work.

That may be, but remember that political leaders cater to their voters. Those are the people Democrats have to pander to.

That's ridiculous. Extremist elements are always given more than their share of media attention in street demonstrations which gives the impression that they are the majority. Whether it's anti-Trump demonstration, a Tea Party rallies, gay rights parade, or whatever, extremists do not drive politicians on either side because they constitute a very small percent of the voters.

Yes, a very small percent of the voters, smaller than cross dressers?

It's not just the protesters and rioters, but those voters who support them. Do you think Black Lies Matter is some major voting block of the Democrats? Of course not, but a lot of blacks are behind the movement of killing cops.

You seem to equate protesting with rioting which are not one and the same. There is certainly nothing wrong with supporting a protest. In fact protests are a vital part of democracy. Here are just a few out of hundreds that at the time were condemned as being lead by anarchists, radicals, and criminals but in retrospect were landmark events that changed history for the better.
The Protestant Reformation
The Storming of the Bastille,
Gandhi's Salt March
The Boston Tea Party
South Africa's National Day of Protest
The 1963 March on Washington
Tiananmen Square
Berlin Wall Protests

Riots don't just happen, they start off as a simple protest, a protest promoted by left-wing media hoping they will turn into riots for ratings.

Yes protests were a part of history when our communications were prehistoric. Today, protests don't accomplish anything except evil. We have technology to advance our messages without one police officer hurt or killed. However some choose the more violent way to pass their message along.

Public protest is now and hopefully will continue to be a legal means of expressing opinion. Most protests do not turn into riots. The ones that do dominate the airways and thus create the impression that all protests end in riots and violence which is certainly not true.

As the country moves toward authoritarian rule, public protests may become a thing the past. Don't think it can't happen. People will trade the Bill of Rights in a heartbeat to be free of fear, real or contrived.

I am very concerned about the divisions within this country. The rioting, the looting, the destruction of public and private property, the corruption of our media, the indoctrination of our young people, the Nazi like tactics against those who disagree with you, the suppression of free speech.

Over the last 20 or so years, we have become divided by race, sex, age, income, ethnicity, religion, location, political party, et. al.

Does anyone see a way to unite this country? Would we be better off to split the country into two or three nations? Why is it more important for your party to win than your nation?

Watching this is very depressing and I am sure the founders are turning over in their graves over what has become of the USA.

Why must we hate those who worship differently, think differently, live differently? Why do those on the left believe that we must all believe what they believe? (same question for those on the right).

We are at a crossroads, what happens next?

When your side rules I don't like it but I still have to live here so I wait for 2018 midterms.

What you want is for the overwhelming majority of us to join your party. Similar to the Reagan era. He was very popular. That's as close as we will get.

We should have been that close during the Clinton era but you guys didn't stop complaining even though the economy was good. And Obama got us out of bush recession but you guys cried the entire time.

So when Democrats rule you guys will never stfu. When you win you will cry about the far left minority protesters.

In other words you never stop playing politics.

All you need to worry about is winning the 2018 midterms. Dont try to win everyone over. That's impossible.

We don't be one country again until the pro-Islam, globalist progressives are expunged.

In other words, never.

Why are you pro-islam? Do you know anything about Islam? Do you know how women are treated, how gays are treated?

You fricken libs want to allow the practice of islam in the USA which means that women are no more than livestock and gays are to be executed.

Your stupidity is amazing.

Not as amazing as your ignorance. i have many friends who are Muslims and they are beautiful people with gorgeous families. they allow their women to make their own choices. i realize that everyone does not have the same convictions than I do.

Get that folks, "they" allow their women to make their own choices.

Sure he did. They would have been hung for treason had they been caught.

And many citizens didn't want to rock the boat. The conservatives wanted to stay loyal to england. They liked the status quo because they had it good. Sound familiar? Lucky Washington was a progressive liberal.

But I'm sure a fascist like you sees it different

Q. Will we ever be one country again

A. Not as long as you and others like you continue to hate and fear everyone whose ideas challenge your/their own.

The pity is that you cannot even see how your post describes you as well.

I am very late to see this thread, but in my opinion is that protests that block traffic or businesses or result in violence or property damage of any kind should be outlawed and those participating should be subject to heavy fines and/or jail.

And do away with political correctness.

Those two things I think would go a long way toward reuniting Americans as one people.
